  1. My name is Tamara, pronounced as “tomorrow” with a short “a” sound at the end. I was born in the mid-50s and named after a famous Russian ballerina who my parents saw perform on television. I’ve always enjoyed my name even though there are three ways to pronounce it; my way, ‘ta-ma-rah and ta-‘mare-ah. To top it off, my father worked for the federal government and we moved around a lot during the 60s so I was constantly correcting the pronunciation of my name.

  2. We chose Tamara as a derivative of Tamar from the Bible, as she is the beginning of the bloodline from Judah to the Messiah.

  4. My husband is British and I am Russian, so we wanted to choose a name that sounds good in both languages. After quite a few days considering all the different options this is the one that we both liked and was easy to say in both languages!
    It’s also a name that is quite old and traditional, but at the same time not too common, which is what we wanted.
