Never thought of it before, but actually quite like it. Prefer with the 'h'.

I think it's lovely.

I have a feminised man's name that is doing the rounds a bit at the moment and i like it a lot, although I do feel I have grown into it and it doesn't suit a child. I like Thomasina - I think it is elegant.

I like it. Thomasin was a popular C16 name and would have been pronounced Tamsin, like Agnes was often pronounced Annis etc. Thomasina over Tamsin though, as Outhwaite and Eastenders springs to mind first.
Don't know if you'd entertain it, but a little girl with nn Tommy would be ridiculously cute imoSmile

I think Thomasina is a lovely, feminine underused name. Great choice imo. Lots of nickname potential - Ina, Tina, Tommy, Sinny etc.

I always thought it it a bit odd that Nigella was called Nigella and her sisters were Thomasina and Horatia.

To me that really does look like they were expecting/hoping for a son and if not actually disappointed in having a girl it does seem a case of making the chosen name fit, boy or not.

Thomasina is just such an unattractive name.
