Which do you like best?

I quite like names beginning with Tom and so was wondering what peeps here prefer from the following...

[Poll #1446838]

I'm not sure if I made Tomina up myself or if it's a name that already exists. Anybody know?

Please, no.

I quite like Tomiah - where's it from?

My favourite derived-from-Thomas name is Tamzin and I have a weak pot for Timandra, which is unrelated but has a similar first syllable.

Thomasina is the only one I like. I think the rest are bad and too made-up. Tamsin is alright too, but I prefer it uncontracted.

Tomina exists. It's a relatively rare variant of Thomasina, I believe.

Not really my style, but Thomasina is pretty much my top-choice like most people of those...

Tomiko is a guilty pleasure name of mine, but because I'm not japanese, i'd feel a little akward using it for a child, probably would end up being a pet's name.

To be honest, I'm not a fan of any of them. Sorry! :/

I couldn't have said it better myself.

I don't like any of them, sorry.
I know it doesn't start with Tom-, but the only Tom-related name that I like is Tamsin.

Tomasina was my cat's name when I was growing up.. named after a children's movie about an orange cat with that name. Don't like it for a human for that reason.

I'm sorry, I don't like any of these. "Tom" to me is very masculine, and these names are... just no.

I actually like Tomiah, the way it sounds - not the way it looks.

Are you definitely having a girl? Can you just use Thomas?

I agree about Tomiah.

Tomasina is just awful. It's like one of those names where they try to give the girl the fathers name and just feminize it, which is usually awful...like Roberta. X(

i hate all of these names.

I really don't like any of these, sorry. If I had to go with one...I guess I'd go with Tomia... =/

Thomasina/Tomasina is horrible. Is that a legit name? It sounds SO made-up to me. X(

I seem to be in the minority that actually likes Thomasina. :-/ I wouldn't really use it, but I've always thought it sounded pretty.

I knew a girl names Tomina in college but I don't remember how it was spelled.

I prefer Tomine, but I'd never use it.

I don't like any of em :(
