Ohhh Jamesina! I forgot about her! I am crazy about Jamesina lately too and meant to ask because I have absolutely zero combos for it. Even more recent than J. is Benjamina, which is just fascinating to me.
Funny. I think one of the reasons I stick Clara with it is because I view Clara as kind of snark bundled in tutus or something, and that is kind of the effect I get with these stuffy male names + ine - like, why are you sticking this ine on me, man, this is ridiculous.
I like Marie in front of them, I emphasize the first syllable in all of them but Thomasina.
