Tamar

[burgatroyd]

...for a girl. Has Biblical references and means date tree but I think river in Cornwall so would pronounce Tay mar. Too masculine? Bit like calling a kid Thames or strong and unusual? Opinions welcome.

I know a Tamar taymar who is mid 30s and gorgeous, it suits her to a T.

Its a river.

There is a bridge over it.

It drains into Plymouth Sound (from memory).

Not the most romantic of rivers (although bits are nice).

Its a pretty name but to me sounds slightly unfinished (I think of Tamara) and does sound like a river.

I love this name and would have liked it if we'd had a girl, as dh is Jewish. I met a Tamar at the synagogue we used to go to, it's not too unusual in Jewish circles.

Oooh I loooove Tamar for a girl. The only Tamar I've ever met was a boy, and I thought it was a weird name. But actually love it for a girl! Sounds glam. Don't know anything about the bible or river though but other people saying they're not good connections puts me off :(

It's a nice name. There is a great book for young people called Tamar (the main character's name in it is Tamar). I don't think anyone in it gets violated by their brother either!

OK, so it might have Nazis...
