User Comments about the name Tamara
Comment left Sep 26, 2008: "hey, my names Tamara (ta-ma-ra)it is just prononced the way it is spelt pretty much.I'm 11 and i'm from NSW in Australia. I get called Tim-tam alot at school but it is my favourite nickname. I know a couple of people named Tamara but not very many. When I was about 6 I wanted to change my name to something of a movie but now I love it and it's uniqueness and would never change it for the world. I really don't care what people call me. My teacher always calls me Tamorro and stuff like that. My mum and dad call me Tam-ba-lam and changed the lyrics from "whoah, black betty bam-ba-lam to "whoah, black betty Tam-ba-lam". That doesn't really annoy me either. Sometimes my friends spell my name wrong.They spell it like "Tammara" and put two m's in sometimes. What I really hate is when my friend writes my name without a capital letter when I tell her time after time that it's spelt with a capital. She spells everyones name with a capital but mine. As i'm still young I don't know that much about myself as I will in about 20 years. Apparently my name means lots of different things like "date palm", "palm tree", "spice" and "lotus flower"."

Comment left Aug 21, 2008: "Tamara is my daughter's name. She's 24, living in New York. I chose her name after I looked it up and found it meant "tree of life" in Hebrew. I love trees and I named my son Sylvan who's serving in Iraq. My favorite poem as a kid was Joyce Kilmer's (1886ý1918)
Trees
I THINK that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the sweet earth's flowing breast;
A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
A tree that may in summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;
Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree." (Report as inappropriate)

Comment left Aug 11, 2008: "My name is Tamara also, and I am 30. It took me until I was 20 to really grow into the name, it is a big name for a little girl to carry. I was always Tammy when I was younger, but I hate it - I always used to get the "Tammy's In Love" song by Debra Reynolds (Tammy and the Batchelor) sung at me. At school I was nicknamed Tim Tam after the biscuits, or Tam Bam after the TV show "The Henderson Kids". Now I am Tam to my friends, Tamara in general, and if I hear Tammy called out across the room, I know it must be someone I knew from LONG ago!!" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Jul 31, 2008: "My name is Tamara, i'm 35 from Canada. The pronunciation of mine however is (timoorah) with a rolled R, the welsh version of it. The shorthand nickname for me is timmy, i've been called everything from camera to tomorrow since i was little. My best friend's name is also Tamara, hers is the tam-air-ah pronunciation, and we get a kick out of both answering to people at the same time when someone just calls our name lol" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Jul 31, 2008: "I also have the name Tamara however its pronouned (ta-moor-ah) with a rolled r since its the welsh pronunciation, and i can't pronounce my own name correctly since i can't roll my r's" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Jul 25, 2008: "My nam is Tamara...I say Tamra. Its cool,but people always say it wrong. T-AM-RA...I have been called Tamera alot..But i love my name too" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Jul 15, 2008: "my name is Tamara, pronounced like 'camera'. To be honest I don't really like my name. I don't know I just don't really think it suits me. Im 15, and I go by Tami. . I'm used to it and its definately better than jessica or samantha.
as for mispronunciations..honestly people pronounce it right only 1/5 of the time. Its especially annoying on the first day of school when my name draws more attention to me than I want it to.
I don't regret having the name Tamara. I just don't think it suits me." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Jul 09, 2008: "Am from Jamaica, and i can tell you the name is very popular and also the alias thatcomes with it such as T, Tammy, Tamo, Tam tam and the list goes on. I remember being in a class with two other Tamara's the teacher had so much difficulty she starts calling us by our Surname. I think its the best name ever and the meaning is Palm tree."

Comment left Jul 07, 2008: "My name is tamara also, but I'm almost 40. I also heard all the jokes about camara's and the mispronounciations.I was called Tammy when I was young but I was named after the Tammy movies so I didn't mind. I think the name is unique and I Love it!!!" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Jul 04, 2008: "My name is Tamara (we pronounce Tam-uh-ra). I looove my name. I hated it when I was younger because it seems so difficult a concept for some people to grasp. However, as I've gotten older I've really come to appreciate not being a "Jessica" or "Ashley" or one of those other popular names. I've only met one other person with my name and same pronunciation and she delivered my daughter. I love my name and wouldn't chance it's uniqueness for anything. It also turns out really interesting nicknames, my favorites of which are Tee-Tee amd Tam-Tam." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Jul 03, 2008: "My name is Tamara and I also pronounce it like camera with a T. (I have never been called Tammy, wouldn't like it.) I didn't like it when I was younger because I had a foreign-sounding last name and the combination was a bit too much for people. But I have grown accustomed to my name and am proud to have a name that is different. My name came from a Russian dancer who was killed in a plane crash during WWII (she was a USO dancer). My mother heard the name and liked it and when I came along that's the name they chose for me." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Jul 02, 2008: "A new woman friend here in Galveston TX is Tamara. I didn't have any problem pronouncing it, from the get-go! When I mentioned her to another womanfriend in L.A. on the phone, that intelligent woman said, did you know that means Palm Tree? I was so glad for verification on this website. One in a million would get it. And, Galveston Island Off the coast of Texas, near Houston)is full of palm trees, very tropical here. This Tamara is gorgeous inside and out. Thank you for this website, I read all the entries, laughed and cried. All you Tamaras out there, you are great Palm Trees! gotta luv it. scott" (Report as inappropriate)
