My SO has suddenly realised that he doesn't like Madeleine, so we're now tossing around the idea of Tamsin.
WDYT of Tamsin? Do you prefer the spelling Tamsin or Tamzin? Middle name ideas?

We already have two kids, Elsa "Elle" Shauna Abigail and Ashton "Ash" Thomas Rhys, and are pregnant with twins who are due in August.
b/b Lewis Jonathan Henry Daniel OR Nicholas Raymond 
g/g Georgina Marie OR Tamsin Leah OR Eva Sophie

If they're b/g the boy will definately be Lewis, but we haven't decided for certain on the girl. Do you think we should give the twins a second middle name too?

I wouldn't go with 2nd middle names - don't like Tamsin- but, I like all of your other girl choices- Georgina is my favorite

I LOVE Tamsin! Don't see it enough here.

I think that Eva Sophie is your best combo. I've never seen Tamsin, and it looks made up to me. (I know, all names were "made up" at some point.)

I like Tamsin, just not sure it fits there. I would spell it that way, if you went for it. Eva and Elsa are too similar for me. As are Eve and Elle. And I'd stick with two middle names. I'd be bummed if I didn't get 2 like the others. Plus, I like 2 middle names. Are you sure about spelling it Lewis? I so much prefer Louis....

Sorry, I'm not crazy about Tamsin. I like Georgina. :)

I like Eva Sophie and Georgina, not crazy about Tamsin. I do think the twins should get double middle names too!

I don't like Tamsin and I don't think it goes along with the other names.

I love, love, love Tamsin. My favorite middle name for it is Rosemary, personally.

The second middle name seems like a nice trend to continue with, but if you can't come to an agreement on any, I don't think it would be strange for you not to. Picking four names at once will be a task enough in itself, I'm sure.

Tamsin reminds me of the Tasmanian Devil.

Love all your other names! I think they should have second middle names just so they match with your other children.

I don't think it's necessary to give them two middle names.

I like all your names. Tamsin reminds me of Tam Lin, but I kind of like it. The only thing is, people would probably call her Tammy, which I'm not really a big fan of.

If I had two children with two middle names, I would keep the tradition and give them two middle names as well.

I'm indifferent about Tamsin. I don't love it but I don't hate it. I really like Georgina Marie and Eva Sophie, but I think Eva Sophie is pretty close to Elsa Shauna. I love Lewis and Henry!

I looove Tamsin. It's such an amazing, under-used name! =D
Eva Sophie is cute too, though, but I don't like Georgina at all. I suppose it's too frilly for my taste.

I think you should only give the twins a second middle name if you want, not because you feel like you have to.

I like Tamsin, but I don't think it goes with your other names. However, Elsa/Elle and Eva are kind of matchy. I really liked Madeleine with your other names. :(

I like Henry with Lewis and your other names better Nicholas. Lewis and Nicholas end in the same sound and that bothers me some.

I like keeping with the two middles but it wouldn't be odd if you didn't since it won't be just one kid being different.

I first read it as "Tasmin" and it made me think of the Tazmanian(sp?) Devil. I'm not find of it either way, however.

I like Henry Daniel & Eva Sophie the best out of them. And while I don't think it's necessary to give them second middle names, I'm thinking that since your older children have them it would be nice for the twins to have them as well.

I really dislike Tamsin; reminds me of the Tasmanian Devil, lol. Tamsin is the better spelling.
Personally, I would probably keep with the double middle name tradition, but it's not necessary.
For me... Eva Sophie > Georgina Marie > Tamsin Leah. Eva and Elsa are matchy though, so I'm not sure I'd pick it. =/ Of the boys names, I like Henry better with Lewis, but I generally prefer the name Nicholas.

I like Tamsin, both as its own name and as a nickname for Thomasina. It's particularly nice in your case since it means "twin." If I had a girl twin, I'd use Linnea in her name somewhere (Linnea is little plant also known as a twinflower).
