Tommie

Sweet and cuddly, but with a hint of edginess, Tommie is a unisex nickname that fits right in with the likes of Scottie, Stevie, and Frankie. Ultimately from the Aramaic Teʾoma, meaning "twin", it could be used as a pet name for Thomasin, Thomasine, Tamsin, Thomasina, and Tomine.

While Tommie for a girl might feel contemporary, it actually made the US Top 1000 every year between 1880 and 1967, peaking in 1935 when it ranked at #320. Notable bearers have included soul singer Tommie Young, influential librarian Tommie Dora Barker, make-up artist Tommie Manderson, and actress Tommie-Amber Pirie.

Currently on trend for boys (exclusively) in England and Wales, a recent year saw it given to 51 girls (and 22 boys) in the US, making it, for now, an offbeat option.

Pronounced TOM-ee.

As of October 2026, Tommie ranked #2352 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #333 in 1937.
