Tasmin

[Giraffehaver]

DH has just suggested this name. We were joking about having a whirling dervish child with the nn Taz and he said Tasmin.
I checked it was a real name and we both really like it.
Tamsin doesnt have the same appeal as we both know Tammys who are quite wet...sorry if you are or have got a Tammy!
What do you think?

@Tryingatleastwhixh Disney film is there a Yasmin in?

my friends have a Tasmin - it’s nice - she’d be in her 20’s now

I meant Jasmine but my phone changed it!!! 😅

My only concern would be you and your child may face a lifetime of providing the correct spelling as the majority of people will want to spell it Tamsin and if that’s ok then go for it. Your DC your choice.

I think it’s a lovely name.

Funnily enough I’ve met a couple of Tasmin’s but never a Tamsin so hadn’t heard of the latter being a name until this thread!

I love Tamsin but I don't think I really like Tasmin. I've only ever heard of one person called that and I think of it as a modern invention, plus it would probably always be mistaken for Tamsin. I think you could get away with using Taz as a pet name for Tansy or possibly even Tabitha.

Isn't Yasmin a contraceptive pill?

I’m related to a Tasmin and it’s a beautiful name. I don’t think it’s any more likely to be misheard than any other similar names Anna/Hannah, or Louise/Louisa/Eloise.
If you like it; then use it; and congratulations on your wee one!

I am Tamsin and have spent my whole life having people misspell or say it as Tasmin so very shocked by this thread.

Of course Tasmin is a name. Maybe ask the violinist Tasmin Little, who’s been called that for her entire life…..

TBH all the variations remind me a bit of Tamarin

I know a Tasmin. Nice name though it took a little while to get used to.

Anastasia? That would work for nickname Tas.

Thank you for all the comments. Tasmina is lovely but we prefer it without the a. Those of you mentioning Tazmanian devils...that's the point!

I have an unusual name, similar to a common name and spend my whole life just accepting being called the wrong name. I cba to even correct it most of the time.

so if you are already getting annoyed by people not liking it/suggesting Tamsin instead then maybe think again.

It’s pretty and it makes me think of the violinist Tasmin Little, which is a nice association.

I like it. And Taz and Tazzy are cute nicknames.

I taught a Tasmin - she was intelligent, smiley, and could draw you in. It never occurred to me that her name was anything else other than Tasmin

I read it as Tamsin which I like.

Tasmin I’d presume was a typo, as evidenced by this thread!

What about Thomasina?

Tasmin is a lovely name. I know a beautiful girl with this name. Ignore some of the comments here. Her name is never mixed up with any other name as people can read!

My friends daughter Tasmin nickname Tas I love it definitely go with it if you love it she has never have a problem with it 🙂

Tasmin will always be confused with Tamsin.

Also, Tasmin reads like misspelt Jasmin.

How do you know? I doubt that my mother would tell her friends that my name gets mispronounced or misspelt.
I don't tell my mother that it does.

I haven’t heard of Tasmin. Only Tamsin or Tasnim the Arabic name

I know two. One is a very good friend. I don't know how this name has passed you by.
