Don't know if this counts but I'm going to shoehorn it in anyway.
Is it a sign of ignorance of the consequences to name one's daughter "Thomasina Edith", as a friend of mine has just done?

that poor child

That is a fucking shit name.

Yes
Yes it is.

Fucking hell.
What's the surname? Cunt?
( Wet-chinned bag shanker Cannot parse Wogan, Thu 30 Aug 2012, 15:33, closed)

Haha
The surname is depressingly ordinary. I'm not going to 'out' him here in case he's reading this, but he gave his first child a perfectly reasonable (albeit slightly hippy) name so he is capable of rational thought.

Thomasina...
Is the surname Darling, and do they live in a lighthouse?

(and/or are they fans of Jez Lowe & the Bad Pennies by any chance?)

No idea; could be.
He just never struck me as the type when I knew him. Maybe he married a posh indie bint or summat.

To be honest, I'm hardly one to talk.
I named my son after a fictional PI.

Pi isn't fictional
Just irrational.

You called your kid 'Remington Steele'?

Or perhaps
"Inch High"

This thread is currently the 8th result for "Thomasina Edith" on google.
So they'll probably find it sooner or later.
( Zuowan, Sat 1 Sep 2012, 9:23, closed)

Search results differ depending on the sites you visit (directly from Google or using Chrome/Google Toolbar).

This is only on the first few pages if Google knows you use b3ta.

On my computer (or by now), it's the fourth.
Speaks volumes about the number of people out there with that name.

Ye gods.
All children should remain nameless until they are old enough to pick out a cool one for themselves.

A friend of mine named his first born..

A friend lives in Glastonbury, his wife is a primary school teacher.
She's used to the usual crop of kids called Sky and Ocean etc but last year she got a real doozy. The kid was called - and I kid you not - Le-a. After wondering how the fuck you pronounce this (Leeah? Lee?) the mother was summoned.
Apparently she thought it was cool to call a kid 'Ledasha' and spell it Le-a.

Awful
But it could be worse. I went to school with a kid named Badger Morning (lastname). His parents were hippies, which I'm sure will come as a surprise.

The reason being that there had been a World Cup qualifying match the day he was born.

Apparently Thomasina is the long form of Tammi or Tamsin / Tamzin.
So she'll probably be one of those IRL.
( Zuowan, Sat 1 Sep 2012, 9:26, closed)

Yeah
Ironically, I think Tamsin is quite a cute name. It's still posh, but it's cute posh. By the look of things, 99% of girls named Thomasina end up calling themselves Tamsin anyway.

I have to say
If we'd had a boy his middle name was going to be "Trouble". The divorce would've been worth it.
