Can’t get this make out of my head despite originally settling on something else!

Screams "I wanted a boy called Thomas".
Hugasauras · 14/05/2022 22:22
Yes, I'd assume a boy called Thomas had been expected/wanted. It feels a little like a joke name in this day and age tbh.
yikesanotherbooboo · 14/05/2022 22:22
I like it.
DisplayPurposesOnly · 14/05/2022 22:22
I really like it.
17caterpillars1mouse · 14/05/2022 22:24
I love it and disagree with the previous poster, i don't think it screams 'I wanted a boy' at all.
I see it as quite a sophisticated name with nice shortenings, it's well known but unusual and different in a good way.

I prefer Thomasin
Notgotanyidea · 14/05/2022 22:24
I like it and loves the film I think it’s called 3 Lives of Thomasina.
LubaLuca · 14/05/2022 22:29
I think it's a clumsy sounding name, like the other male names with a feminine bit tacked on.
Organictangerine · 14/05/2022 22:30
Sounds like a fairy cobbler under a toadstool
SallyWD · 14/05/2022 22:31
I don't like it at all (although I love Thomas for a boy).
StrictlyAFemaleFemale · 14/05/2022 22:32
Isnt that the name of the brilliantly clever girl in Tom Stoppards Arcadia?
User3568975431146 · 14/05/2022 22:32
I've known several Thomasinas all in nursing homes and all the daughters of men called Thomas.
Gunpowder · 14/05/2022 22:32
Have loved this name since seeing Arcadia at the theatre years ago! Go for it!
Pemba · 14/05/2022 22:33
Tamsin is quite nice. Thomasina is a bit too obviously 'female form of Thomas' as pps have said. Bit like Wilhelmina, Roberta or Henrietta.
Strangely I don't feel that way about Georgina or Stephanie, maybe because they're more well known.
SausageMonkey2 · 14/05/2022 22:33
My MiL is called Ina. Her mother was Thomasina. Both aren’t / weren’t fond!

This ^ I just don't like the sound it it because its a mouthful and sounds masculine to me. A 4 syllable 1st name is rather long and would often be shortened, but what would would be a nn for this? Tom, Tommy, Toma, Sina?
Sorry, but all are awful, but maybe I'm missing a lovely nn for Thomasina I'm just not aware of?
Pollywoddles · 14/05/2022 22:38
It’s the kind of name I’d associate with the girl having been named after someone male like Roberta, Josepha or Nigella. A tribute name if you like.
BrownStripePJ · 14/05/2022 22:42
I don't like it
Chickydoo · 14/05/2022 22:47
Love it! Beautiful name
Love Tomasin too!
MotherOfCrocodiles · 14/05/2022 22:50
Tangent, but Nigella is not just a form of Nigel , it's a lovely flower also known as - "love in a mist"
Kanaloa · 14/05/2022 22:50
It sounds a bit clunky to me. Where I grew up there were names like Jamesina, Donaldina, which I also disliked.
Diverseopinions · 14/05/2022 23:20
I like it. There is a Thomas Hardy character called Thomasin. I really like Tamsin, too.
Aria999 · 14/05/2022 23:21
Thomasina tittlemouse
LostInTheColonies · 14/05/2022 23:35
Very cool name. I know one of 16!
Came across elderly ladies in the Highlands called Hughina and Angusina some years ago. Not cool names 🤣🤣
