Tomasin

Just that really. What do you think?!
Or Tamasin is nice too.

Not so keen on Tamsin ...

I think Tamsin is lovely. Not sure about the others tbh.

Tomasin is not nice! I know someone called it and no one ever understands what she's saying. Tamsin is lovely!

I really like it. It’s pretty to look at.
Is it pronounced ‘Thomas-in’ to an English speaker? I have seen ‘Thomasine’ before in UK which is more -eeen sounding at the end.

I don't mind Tomasin (neither love, nor hate), although like pp I've only seen it spelt Thomasine before.

Not keen on Tamasin - I think it will get confused with/look like a misspelled Tamsin (which I do like, although I understand you don't).

No keen on either. I know a Tomasin, she hates it and changed it to Tamsin.

I think it’s neither one thing nor the other - falls between Tamsin and Thomasina

It’s not especially nice, a bit awkward to say and people will mishear and mispronounce it constantly. Thomasina is pretty though.

Thomasina is nice, Tamsin is nice
I don’t like Tomasin or Tamasin at all personally

I would have assumed Tomasin was a boy's name. Tamsin is nicer IMO.

I love Tomasin so much. There is something so unique but normal about it. I think I first heard it in the movie The Witch and there is also a young Kiwi actress called Thomasin McKenzie. I didn't realise there was any other feminine version of Thomas other than Thomasina which I don't like at all. Tomasin or Thomasin is definitely fresh without being made up

I'm a Tamzin. Usually threads on here are full of dislike for Tamsin/Tamzin so that's nice change.

Yes sorry I think I probably would spell it Thomasin on reflection.

I know it from Hardy's Return of the Native and then saw the actress when googling too!

I quite like Tamasin as a variation. Daniel Day Lewis' sister is the only one I could find!

DP will reject it I'm sure as he won't anything he hasn't heard used (but likewise won't consider any name if he knows someone personally called that name) 🙄🙄

Thomasina sadly makes me think of that old film about the cat and I can't help but sing the song everytime I hear it 🤣😫

I don't like it - it feels to me like you were hoping for 'Thomas' and decided to stick with the name anyway.

I suspect any girl called Thomasin would spend their life having to give their name as
"Thomasin. Yes, the name Thomas with the word in on the end. No I don't know 'where it comes from'." Every. Single. Time. they give their name anywhere.

I saw on a thread the other day, the suggestion of introducing yourself to people as if that were your name for a month or so, and gauging the reaction. Not as many opportunities during the pandemic, but a great idea when people are asking about unusual names.

Thomasin is lovely! I like Thomasine and Thomasina a lot too.

I quite like it - spelled with the H though. The only young Thomasin or Thomasine I know of is the actress Thomasin McKenzie.

Tamsin is the traditional nickname for Thomasin or Thomasina though so if you don't like it you might have to think about what nicknames you do like.

I like Tomasin and Tamsin. Wanted to call one of my dds Tamsin but it was vetoed sadly.

Also like Tana and Tanzie .

I like Thomasine.

Tomasin?! No! Tamasin, still no. Of all the nice names in the world. Is Tamasin even a name? Both names sound like a product to clear up something unpleasant. "Have you got an Tomasin I can use? I've got a really bad spot" or, "Can I have a Tamasin? I've got really bad heartburn"

The last syllable of Thomasin will get lost in busy classroom or playground or on a poor phone line and just sound like Thomas, which is still very popular. Thomasina has a clearer distinction.

I love Thomasin/Thomasine

I know a Thomasin (also named for RotN and lucky not to be Bathsheba). She went by Tom briefly in her teens, but has settled into her full name again now as an adult.
I like it.

Not keen. As a PP said Tomasin sounds like a boy's name and Tamasin sounds like something for thrush.

There's a Tamasin in the Shardlake novels by CJ Sansom. I assume it's a very old name because the books are set in the Tudor period and are meticulously researched.

I quite like it.

I wouldn't immediately know if Tomasin was a boy or a girl...

Tamsin is pretty as is.
