Help[Opinions] Re: Tamar
in reply to a message by Elinor
I know a Tamar & she pronounces it TAY-mar. I like Tamar Catrina the best out of your combos. I personally don't like the name Tamar, due to the Bible stories about 2 different Tamars involved in incest (One Tamar posed as a prostitute, seduced her father-in-law & bore him twin boys. Another Tamar, daughter of King David, was raped by her half-brother Amnon.), but I guarantee you that most people wouldn't associate the name with those Bible stories, as they are somewhat obscure. Besides, it really has a nice meaning and a lovely sound to it. :o) Sound-wise, I do prefer it to Tamara.

*Shudder* I'm afraid I only know the most mainstream Bible stories, and hadn't heard either of those. The half-brother rape one is particularly unpleasant ... Hmmm ... Might make me reconsider lol. Thanks for the info!
