It was probably invented because Thomasina sounds dorky.
It's actually an awful name for a girl - like "Thomas son".
Ever notice how girls are often given boy's names, but nobody names their son "Shirley"?
Plenty of men have feminine names.
shareGive me an example. Plenty of parents give their daughter names like Michael or Johnnie. I've never known a boy who was given a traditional girl's name.
It's obviously a gender bias - male names good for all, female names unacceptable for a boy.
I once knew a guy named 'Kelly'.
"Kelly" is a perfect example of the misogynistic phenomenon. It was originally a male name meaning "warrior" in Irish. Like I said, male names always crossover and become gender neutral. Female names never do.
How many guys named Jessica or Mary do you know?
she was born in New Zealand what did you expect
shareIt's an old English female name.
I have an ancestor from the 1600's that had the name.
