Love them both. Which do you prefer and why?

Many thanks in advance...

I'm Tamzin with a z and never shortened. I like it and get compliments about it quite often.

Tamsin defiantly, gorgeous name.

I know two dogs called Tess.

Tamsin is one of my favourite names. I am less keen on Tessa.

thegreylady · 25/04/2015 16:28

It souns like 'tosser' to me!

Tess.

Tamsin is a bit like Natalie or Mathew. A bit 70's 80's

They both sound a bit dated to me, but Tessa at a push.

Tamsin is way nicer

Not a massive fan of either (sorry) but I prefer Tamsin

Thanks for all feedback. Opinions seem pretty much equally divided, which is probably a good sigh- i.e. either would be ok IRL!

Love Tamsin-unusual! Retro nickname Tammy.

Tessa/Tess/Tessie getting popular.

I love Tamsin with a z too
