Can't do better than Bear's list+

---

but here's one-
Tamar Jamila.
and Tamar Felicity
Tamar Jocasta.

I usually prefer Tamara, but Elizabeth Tamar is pretty. Can always go by the mn if you want to if that's how the combo fits best.

I like Tamar. It's much better than Tamara.

---

From your combos I like
Minerva Tamar
Tamar Lillith
Tamar Viola

---

I know what you mean about it being a hard name to get combos for. A recent one of mine that is the same is Prue. For some reason, nothing seems to fit with it.

---

Some more combos for Tamar
Tamar Juliet
Tamar Rosen
Tamar Briony
Tamar Loren
Tamar Isla

---

Like any?

Tamar is spunky without being too over the top. I remember hearing it while watching a film about Doris Day (her daughter is named Tamar) when I was about 14. I had seen the name written out prior to seeing the film, but it wasn't until I heard it spoken out loud in the film that I gave it much thought.

---

Out of your combos, I like Tamar Adina and Tamar Lilith the best. Tamar Viola sounds fine, but I prefer Adina and Lilith. I'm not a fan of the name Minerva because of the "nerv" part (it makes me think of the word "nerve"). Minerva Tamar does flow nicely though. Tamar Lenka is okay, but the combo is a bit choppy.

---

Other ideas:
Tamar Penelope
Tamar Gwendolyn / Gwendolen
Tamar Veronica / Veronika
Tamar Helena
Tamar Sybella
Tamar Evelyn
Tamar Eveline - I think this would sound especially pretty if you pronounce the ending -leen)
Tamar Evelina
Tamar Augusta
Tamar Cecily
Tamar Odessa
Tamar Cynthia

I love Tamar. It's exotic, elegant, but not fussy. Very alluring.

---

But I can't stand Tamara, though, at least the American "TAM-uh-ruh" pronunciation. So Tamar Adina discomforts me a little. True, I odn't say exactly "TAM-uh-ruh" when I say "Tamar A-," but it's inching in that direction. I think you have better combinations.

---

Tamar Lilith is lovely. The two names are both exotic. The flow is a little choppy. But as you say it's not easy to find a mn for Tamar so I'm willing to overlook that minor point.

---

Tamar Lenka is interesting. I'll bet this is one of those combos that grow on you slowly until you find yourself head over heels.

---

Tamar Viola doesn't do much for me. I prefer the British, "VIE-uh-luh" pronunciation so I don't think we're saying it the same way. If you're using the "vee-O-luh" one, then the prominent "o" sound turns me off. But it's much better than American, "vie-O-luh," I'll give you that.

---

Minerva Tamar is stunning. Love it.

---

My attempts (sorry for any repeats):

---

Tamar Inez
Tamar Isabeau
Tamar Soledad
Tamar Lourdes (2 syllables)
Tamar Montserrat
Tamar Olivia
Tamar Roxane / Roxelana
Tamar Lucine
Tamar Scheherazade

I like Tamar too, much more so than Tamara. I'll give it a shot:

---

Tamar Selene
Tamar Violette (VEE-o-let)
Tamar Lélia
Tamar Mélisande
Tamar Mirabelle
Tamar Amoret
Tamar Thalia
Tamar Doralise

---

Hmm, you're right, it is a tricky one!

I like Tamar very much but none of the combos flows very well except Tamar Viola.

---

Tamar Lilian
Tamar Julia
Tamar Niamh
Tamar Lydia

Tamar Adina (too many "A"s?) - No, but I hear Tamara Dina...
Tamar Lilith - nice
Tamar Lenka - not so good
Tamar Viola - the flow could use improvement
Minerva Tamar - I like the flow of this.

---

Some suggestions:

---

Tamar Lucille
Tamar Lovisa
Tamar Vianne
Tamar Salacia
Tamar Sofia
