Help[Opinions] Tamara
Hi !!!
WDYTO this ancient feminine name?
I love it for its sound, its Semitic origin and its meaning of 'palm tree' which tree is very important in the desert area.
Can you rate and comment it, please?
Tell me all of positive and all of negative you think of Tamara.

I think Tamara is very soft, pretty, feminine and not overly common. I like the “palm tree” meaning too. I pronounce it ta-MARE-a.

I like this - perhaps due to the one person I knew of this name - whose long black waist length hair simply shined - and beyond her external lustre, she is simply a beautiful person. Perhaps however I should not allow my personal associations from a particular person or a mere few persons to color my impressions of a name.
Although I am aware that the name Tammy is not a direct derivative of the Russian source, at least not on paper, I think it is a softer variation for a nickname--especially perhaps for a child.
Not quite related, yet still partially, I enjoy when different names that at least seem etymologically different, i.e. "on paper" assimilate with similar hypocoristic pet names - that Tamara bears similar sonorities with Tamela, which is accidentally yet frequently confused with Pamela. Pamela is a name that I've been adoring of late - due to a recent, accidental reminder of a Pamela I once knew while extremely young. I hold extensive warmth, yet empathy toward this lady, who I knew (of?) before the age of six and perhaps through extremely few occasions--ever so shortly beyond that age. I am really into the name Pamela right now - and I have difficulty discerning whether my feelings toward the name Pamela are bound to the (I think) one lady I knew that I hold emotional reverence beyond that of fully conscious recollection.

I don't like it to be honest. It sounds heavy and stern to me. I love the image of palm trees but for some reasons I don't get this at all from Tamara. When I hear Tamara I think of an overweight lady in her 50s with bad teeth who has 20 cats and smokes all day long. I rate it a 3/10, it's not horrible, you can live with it and it is international, but I find it boring and unattractive. I suggest Tamar to you. It has the same beautiful meaning but feels much lighter and younger. I like it a lot.
