What do you think of the name Thomasin or Tamsin?

My best childhood friend was named Tamsen. People always loved her name. The name is so uncommon, the fact that they spelled it differently was never an issue. And actually, beyond just being more used to it, I prefer the soften 'en' ending as well as avoiding the word 'sin' that kind of jumps out of the more common spelling.

But yes, I like the name a lot, and am honestly surprised that Tamsin hasn't caught on more. It has a nice sound. It isn't too complicated or fussy/frilly. It's a good solid name that a kid won't share with a zillion other girls.

I don't care for Thomasin. It's too male sounding -- like "we really wanted a boy but this girl was born instead... I guess we better name her somehing other than Thomas..." Obvious feminine versions of male names have a tendency to bug me that way.
