A boy, probably a little younger than 10, came into my work over the weekend, and his name is Crewe. WDYT?

Also, WDYT of Tamsin/Tamzin (g)? I used to hate it, but after hearing it repeatedly on Tamsin Egerton and Tamzin Merchant, I think I'm falling for it. It's a diminutive form of Thomasina, if anybody was wondering.

I don't like Crewe, but I love Tamsin, I think it's cute but spunky.

I don't like Crewe, but I quite like Tamsin. It's on my list! However, I don't like the Tamzin spelling.

I'm not a big fan of Crewe OR Cruz. Tamsin, on the other hand, is one of my favorite names.

Crewe just makes me think of crew cuts.
But I've always sort of liked Tamsin, there was a Tamsin a few years ahead of me in school.

I like Tamsin a lot but my husband hates it. He doesn't think it sounds like a name. Not a fan of the spelling with a Z.

Crewe is just weird.

I've met a little boy named Crew before. I'm not a big fan, and I'm an even lesser fan of the extra 'E' on the end.

Tamsin is sort of cute. I've seen it used as a regular name, but I'd most likely use Thomasina (which I do like) and then Tamsin for the nickname.

Don't like either of them TBH.

Crewe isn't a name, in my mind. And Tamsin seems like a spice, not a name. Not a fan.

If Crewe is a surname from their family, I'm fine with it...if not....

Crewe is horrible.

I like Tamsin, but not Tamzin. The first place I saw this name was in a fantasy series I read where people were named after 'saints'. Tamsin (as well as Tamsa, Tama, and Tamasin) are variations on Tamas, in the book. Out of all of those I like Tamsa the best.

I very strongly dislike Tamzin.

Tamsin is much nicer looking.

Crewe...meh. In a world of youneek names, it's not the worst, but I'd never use it.

Yeah, pretty much this.
