What do you think of the name Thomasina?  Lately it's been growing on me, but I keep thinking of this really old Disney movie about a cat that literally had 9 lives and her name was Thomasina.

it reminds me of the name Thomasin from "the return of the native"- which i really hated reading in high school lol.

damn lj...

i was about to type- so i don't care for Thomasin or ThomasinA much because of that book.

I like the name Thomasina from the book Is Kissing a Girl Who Smokes Like Licking an Ashtray?

And I also love unisex names.

It's...a classic, I'll give it that. But I think it's rather ugly.

I think Jacobina and Jamesina support her point, lol.

I think maybe what they meant is that some names more than others, in the feminine version, sound like a stretch-out from the masculine original form.
At least, some sounds like that to me lol.
For example, Patrick and Patricia have the same root and different endings, but Jacobina is basically Jacob + ina, and -ina is a suffix from latin that is used to make the feminine form of various nouns (it works that way in italian, and it's -ine in french, for example)

I only know it cuz of the movie... but I still really don't like it.

I hate the name, which is why I'm glad I have my name, which is a contraction of Thomasina.

[th3-unicorn.livejournal.com]

I know it's the correct spelling and all, but for some reason it doesn't look right to me. In italian Thomas is Tommaso and the female form (very rare) is Tommasina.
A variation of Thomasina is Tamsin, which is growing on me.
How do you pronounce Thomasina? I can't decide whether the 's' sounds double or not, or where the stress goes.

[aquilinum.livejournal.com]

The S is "double" (or soft, however you want to put it). TO-ma-SEE-na, where the first O is pronounced like in the word "hot", "jog", or "not".

I've never heard it but it sounds really masculine.

One of my friends from Thomaston, Georgia wants to name his first daughter Thomasina Georgiana. He claims the connection didn't occur to him until somebody pointed it out, years after he'd set his heart on the name.

I can't hear or read either name now without thinking of this.
