I prefer Thomasin. Which is a little weird, because Thomasina sounds more feminine than Thomasin and I usually prefer more feminine sounding names, and Thomasina is longer than Thomasin and I generally like long names for girls. I'm trying to think why I prefer Thomasin, and what I'm coming up with is that it's closer to Tamsin than Thomasina is and I have a fondness for Tamsin. Also, I think that Thomasina is just a tad too precious for my taste.

Thomasin. Adding the "a" at the end just sounds like you're trying to hard to make it feminine.

I prefer Thomasina because, aside from it being a personal fave, it just looks more complete to me than Thomasin does.

Maybe also because I have a weakness for girls names ending with the letter 'a'. Could be a reason too. :)

I love Thomasin! It's hardly ever used and I think it's adorable. I first discovered it in a book about Tudor women, spelled Thomeson.

Thomasina is fine and all, but Thomasin is spunky.

Because Thomasin looks more masculine and also looks like Thomas's sin.

Thomasina. Unless the question is Tamsin vs Thomasina, then they are equal.

I like Thomasin. Thomasina always reminds me of the cat and sounds old fashioned. I like Thomasin though. = )

Thomasin; I find Thomasina a bit too frilly and try-hard. Thomasin is lovely.

Thomasina.

Thomasin sounds incomplete and a bit like a sentence fragment.

I like both, but I think that Thomasina looks a little more complete and I like the sound of it a litter more. I also like Thomasine.
