[Opinions] Tomila
I'm really digging this old Slavic name at the moment. It derives from the word for "torture," which is......badass. Plus, the NN Tommie is adorable. What do you think?Some combos:Tomila At(h)anasia
Tomila Constantina
Tomila Frederica
Tomila Genevieve
Tomila Hestia
Tomila Ingrid
Tomila Iris
Tomila Isidora
Tomila Kat(h)arina
Tomila Mariana
Tomila Raffaella
Tomila Tatiana
Tomila Verity
Tomila Viveca
Tomila Winifred

Wow, I love that. Tommie Torture, yes, very into this. Is it "toh-MEE-la"? I'm tempted to turn it into something almost Pamela-like. TOM-uh-luh.

Goodness, sorry, but I think the meaning is awful, I would hate to have a name with that meaning.Tomila sounds like a brand name.Tommy is one of my least favorites of all times, I find it ridiculous.Sorry :( But I like some of your middle names. Genevieve is cute and so is Katharina.

Yeah, the meaning is intense. This is a BtN commenter's interpretation (though I'm not sure what informed it): "My suggestion is that this name meaning is more likely to be understood as 'to tease' rather than 'to torment', since it appears to be used in a context of a relationships between two or more people, although not necessarily.
In a russian speaking group of people it would be a rare name, but it wouldn't have to struggle to fit (but I believe it's not this way just for us), it also has a romantic meaning.
I love it! I never stop."
