I'm pronouncing both as 4 syllables: jam/jem-a-see-na and tom-a-see-na. I agree that pronouncing Jamesina as james-ee-na would be 'forced'.

James-EE-na and Thomas-EE-na. Same with all the other Scottish -ina feminisations.

Thomasina I say Tom-a-SEE-nuh
Jamesina is kinda difficult. It comes out different everytime and sounds weird no matter what. I usually say something along the lines of Jamezs-SEE-nuh

I've always heard Jamesina as James-eye-na, to rhyme with Carolina.

James-eye-na? Like rhyming with vagina?

Well, Regina rhymes with vagina in some accents.
