It would fit in well with your other girls names actually. Maybe he might change his mind once she’s actually here?! ;)

I like both Tamar (ta-MAR, hate the TAY-mar pronunciation) & Thomasina.

TamsinTamsin - Favorite
Tamar - 2nd favorite
Tamara - 3rd place - I like the tə-MAHR-ə pronounciation better than TAM-ə-rə.

TamsinFrom my understanding it's a bit dated in the U.K., but in the U.S. this would be a completely fresh choice.Thomasin is a GP of mine, but I have a feeling most non-namenerds would look at it as "Thomas with -in attached."Thomasina is quite long and OTT.Tamara / Tammy is quite dated (in the U.S.).And while Tamar is cool (I like it better than Tamara), the Biblical association... isn't the best.

TamarTamara isn’t bad but Tamar is more mature and unpretending. Thomasina and Thomasin(e) feel forced. Tamsin is juvenile and I only like Tammy as a nickname.

Tamsin - I like it, although I prefer Tamsyn.
Thomasin / Thomasine / Thomasina - sorry, but I find them archaic (although I like them as a middle name)
Tamar - I thought this name was a masculine form of Tamara, but it sounds good on a girl. I only like the pronunciation ta-MAR.
Tammy - nice nickname for these names.
Tamara - my favourite. I only like the pronunciation ta-MAH-ra.

TamarI don't like the sound of "tam." I only like Tamar and Tamara when they are pronounced with an emphasis on the second syllable (ta-MAR and ta-MAR-a). Tamsin and Tammy I don't like at all because the "tam" is so prominent.I think Tamar is lovely. Tamara has a little less gravitas. Both remind me of tamarind trees.Thomasin, Thomasine, and Thomasina are very wholesome. My favorite is Thomasin.
