Thomasina

Classic or hormones?

A witches cat!!

I like Thomasina Miers.

I think I like the name. But I can see a lot of people wouldn't.

It's not too masculine like Donalda. More like Henrietta/ Hetty which I do like.

I have eclectic taste and really don't dislike many names so perhaps I'm not a good judge!

Return of the Native had a Thomasina in it.
I don't really like it as I don't like male sounding names for girls, such as Nigella, Georgia etc.

Tamsin is better.

Seems a bit clunky and ugly...a stretch too far for a girl. Henrietta and Georgina have same vibe but prettier and also not immediately a male name converted to a female one. Well, they are, but used more often so seem more of a name in their own right.

Love some of these replies!

We don't know the sex so there is a 50% I won't hate my baby

50% chance even

Thomasin Yeobright is in The Return of The Native

Tamsin is a variant. I much prefer Thomasina- Tamsin sounds quite masculine. (Samson)

Nigella's sister was called Thomasina. She had another called Horatia. I always wondered if their parents really only wanted sons.

I'm sorry but I think it's really awful

I can definitely comment on this being a Thomasine.

Hated it as a child and was officially known as Tommy or Tom/T to very close friends.

I do however use it for official purposes.

I turn 50 in January and am really growing in to it.

HTH

I'm a Tamzin as m parents liked Thomasina but didn't want a 4 syllable name. I've never had anyone say my name is masculine.
Was once told it sounded like a Chinese restaurant

I really like Thomasina, Thomasine and Thomasin.

Much prefer Tamsin.

It is considerably nicer by a long way than the Edwardian char lady names like Ivy, Maisie, Ruby, Pearl, Elsie and Daisy

One person's char lady is another person's beloved grandmother . Or, these days, great-grandmother. A lot of the Edwardian names coming back are namesake names.

It reminds me of Thomasina Tittlemouse from Beatrix Potter! I like it.

I really love it, more as a middle name choice though

Tamsin is nice. Arabella is pretty.
Georgia, Georgina, Nigella are all quite feminine sounding.

Henrietta and Thomasina are horrific.
As is Harriet.

I really like it!

God awful

Awful...sorry.

Awful, sorry!

It's a no from me

I quite like it! But it's a bit of a mouthful though.

I love it. I consider it a classic, and very stylish.

After reading and re-reading The Tale of Thomasina Tittlemouse to DD2 at least 250 times, I knew it off by heart at one point of my life. I still have a soft spot for The Tale...

I agree with LassWiADelicateAir.
It is considerably nicer by a long way than the Edwardian char lady names like Ivy, Maisie, Ruby, Pearl, Elsie and Daisy which in 2018 list of most popular names.
