I like Tamsin, and slightly prefer this spelling. But I GREATLY dislike the nn Tammy. :b

I prefer Tamsin.

Tamsyn just looks more trendy and less feminine. The nn Tammy is ok. Though it's childlike sounding. Tam (without the kiddy 'y') sounds more mature. Can use both!

My 40 PPs - names in profile.

I love Tamsin. Either spelling is nice and I also like the nickname Tammy. I had a few friends named Tammy growing up and I always liked it. Some were just Tammy and one was short for Tamara. Tamsin has a pretty sound to me.

Tamsyn looks trendy and kre8iv to me, for the reasons Siri said. Also, Tamsin is a contraction of Thomasina, which doesn't have a Y in it anyway.

---

But I like Tamsin, it's unusual without being outrageous. It's also similar to the ever-popular -son names for girls, but doesn't have the etymological unsuitability of the "son of X" meaning. The only drawback I can think of is that the ending is "sin", and the name kind of looks like "Tam's sin".

Tammy's a good nn, though it's rather bland and dated to the '50s-'80s.

Both are trashy and trendy to me, and not even pretty. Tammy is terribly trashy to me, and babyish. Sorry. Thomasina is nms but would be much better, and I like the French Thomasine (toh-mah-seen) too.

My / are Aglaia and July

I don't care for the name, and both spellings look odd to me. If I had to choose one, it'd be Tamsin. But, it's not at all feminine, I think.

Edit 1: Spelling.
Edit 2: Spelling, again.

Tamsin, only

A name spelt with a y (with very few exceptions), always looks trendy and slightly trashy to me.

---

I do like Tamsin, though I prefer Thomasina with the nn Tamsin. I hate the nn Tammy, and I think it ruins the charm of Tamsin. Tam is much cuter imho.

I like Tamsin

It is unusual and pretty. I really like Tamsin. I'm not fond of nn, and Tamsin is short enough not to need any shortening to Tam. But Tammy is ok. Though if I had a Tamsin, I would just call her Tamsin.

I used to really love Tamsin (not Tamsyn, though), but I've gone off it. I'm more fond of Thomasina with the nickname Tam.

---

Tamsin is fine, if very, very British, and while Tammy doesn't do much for me, it's certainly not as bad as some would have you believe. I really like the nickname Tam best.
