Recently I've come across the girls' name Tomima. It sparked my interest so I couldn't resist looking it up. Well, at least I tried. Turns out there is not much info to be found on this name, neither in my name books nor on the internet. So I'd surmise it's rather rare? Is it?
What I did find out, though, is that Tomima seems to have originated in the Orkney Islands. Now, seeing as the Orkneys have quite a bit of Scandinavian history and Scandinavian connections, I'd tend to think that Tomima might be the Orcadian form of Norwegian Tomine. (Maybe this thread should go on the name facts board as well...)

So anyway, what do you think of Tomima?
Do you think it's "usable"? How rare is it really, I mean, have you ever come across this name before?
Oh, and how would you pronounce Tomima?

Thanks in advance!
