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.
