I really like Tamsin! I'm big in to not-frilly but still historically feminine namesw for girls, and Tamsin fits the bill.

Just some combos off the top of my head:
Tamsin Blythe
Tamsin Adele
Tamsin Fiona
Tamsin June
Tamsin Iris (I almost said Ivy, but when I said it out loud, its flow is too close to Poison Ivy for me. Unfortunate)
Tamsin Anya
Tamsin Briony

I quite like it. I don't think it's amazing or anything but it's perfectly good. One thing I don't like is that she might be called Tammy, which I really dislike!

I like it. It's a bit quirky, classy, and fun. I don't really care for the nickname Tammy, but I don't mind Tam.

I used to strongly dislike Tamsin, but I'm beginning to think it's fantastic. It really does remind me of a spirited fairytale heroine. I would only be worried about Tammy eventually cropping up as a nickname, because I can't stand Tammy.

I do like it, but I immediately think of actress Tamzin Merchant who played the role of Catherine Howard in Showtime's The Tudors.

I love it.

I like it - especially spelled Tamzin like Brit actress Tamzin Ouththwaite. The z gets rid of the "sin" element and indicates the pronunciation (I also like Kerenza instead of Kerensa, also Cornish like this name.)
Tamsin or Tamzin is a refreshing choice - not too common and not identified with a particular decade like so many mega-popular names.

I like it. I don't think it is burdened with twee images. It's sort of like Alison or Karen or Jamie - a nonstandard/foreign diminutive of a "normal" name, that comes into fashion. I can totally imagine Tamsin being fashionable. I think it has the right shape. It is uncommon, non-pretty-pretty but not spunkay-kewt-tomboi. It's non-mannish and non-surnamey, with real historical usage (and antique usage), and a classic-name derivation ... seems very cool and fashionable. And it isn't too eccentric or pretentious sounding. It might not be as comfortable as more familiar names, but it's certainly not difficult.

I like Tamsin Iris (although not great if your surname begins with T).
And Tamsin Wylda would be nice also.
