Thoughts on Tamsin?

[MimiSunshine]

We can’t find a single girls name we both like.
I’ve considerd Tamsin before and starting to consider it again but don’t come across it much so was wondering what others thought of it?

Classic
Dated?
A bit ‘posh’ in a good or a bad way?
Common

Etc etc

Our DD is P ene lope so want a name that has a similar feel to that which to me is
Classic
Feminine but not too girly
Known but not overly common
Don’t mind the ‘its a bit posh’ comments we got in the early days

Love it! A little posh in a good way for me - classic and literary, not snobbish. I adore the Thomas Hardy connection. Would have been on my list for a girl!

Not posh at all. A bit meh. Too many in the 80s.

Like Thomasin/a though.

I am a Tamsin and never a Tammy. I’ve met a handful of others over the years and all of us report our biggest bug bear is being called Tasmin. It doesn’t matter how you spell it, that’s just what you get. I LOVE it when people get it right first time and it’s made me super careful when reading other peoples names and remembering their spelling.
As an aside, my god-daughter is Anabelle because her parents fought over the frilly/nonfrilly spelling. She goes by Ana now and aside from having to spell her name for official things, she has no issues as her name is easily recognisable. She actually likes the fact she can go by Ana as that’s completely unfrilly and different (she’s a cool teen now)

Really like it, and fits your description of unusual but not weird perfectly.

@foxtiger another famous Tasmin is Tasmin Little - famous English violinist.

I like Tasmin or Tamsin although i think perosnally i like the Tamsyn spelling myself
