Help[Opinions] Re: Thomasin
in reply to a message by Perrine
Hi Perrine !!!
Thomasin is too close to Thomas to ne judged feminine imo.
Here in Italy there are many surnames that end in -in and they are often based of masculine names. Tommasin (after Tommaso or the 'extinct' Tommasino) is not out of place among surnames so Thomasin seem also a LN in my mind.
In my opinion there is no sense to use Christian or Julian for Girls when we have Christina, Christine, Christiane, Juliana, Julienne or other forms.
Obviously everyone can do what he/she wants and It is common in some countries nowadays to change the name gender. But I strongly dislike this trend.
There are many way to use New names imo:
1 using dated/rare names
2 using word-names makes them Given names (i.e. Story, Paris, Blue, Nightingale, Juniper..) I user only few names Just to show you what I mean.
3 using nicknames as given names
4 using surnames as given names
5 using foreign form of names
6 using a different spelling of a name
7 change gender of an established name
8 create madeup names
Personally I like to see the option 1 and 2.
These ways help to save names that are desappearing but also with the 2 you can be creative with something that has its own history ad you are named after an animal, flower, adjective or town that in every case could have a positive value.
WDYTO these options?
