HelpRe: Jamesina & Thomasina
in reply to a message by Vek
I found that I instinctively say JamesEYEna and ThomasEEna. Which is odd, come to think of it.
I wouldn't like them for twins; it looks too much as if you'd been desperate for boys. I was at school with sisters, Josephine and Roberta, who gave that impression: and another sibset was Stephanie, Paula, Janet-and-Jeffrey-the-twins and then another little girl with a tweaked boy name which I forget.
Thomasina could give you Tamsin, which sounds dated to me but turns comfortably into Tam. Jamesina? No; too weird. I've seen Jimsie as a nn form, which is dire. Rather go for Gemma or Jemima.
