It's French for little Thomas. The dad's name is Thomas. I like it but the dad thinks it's too feminine.

I agree with dad, it's a nice name, but it does sound feminine.

Maslin is cute but it sounds a little bit girlie. I think it is a wonderful idea tho if the dads name is Thomas. I very close friend of mine had a name running through the family that was Thomas but they did this.. Thomas Max then called him max. you could try that with a name you love. or even better Maslin Thomas.. hehe that's cute :)
Hope i helped =)

Honestly? My first thought was of kleenex. I pictured an ugly kid with a runny nose.
I'm sorry, but that was what I first pictured. Some names give us a strong image in our minds. When I think "Bertha" I think of a big fat girl. When I think Horace, I think of a boy with very large glasses backed in a corner as other boys steal his lunch money. When I thought of Maslin, I thought of a skinny boy with serious hygiene issues who gets picked on a lot....
If you want to name your boy after his dad, why not just call him Thomas? Or give him his father's middle name?

If I saw the name Maslin written on a piece of paper, i would automatically think it was a girl. I would imagine a lot of teasing coming to a boy with this name, unless, of course, you move to France or French-Canada.

It is too feminine. What's with all these boys' names ending in Lin these days? It sounds like a girl's name (like Madeline, almost) and if you want to name him Thomas, just name him Thomas. Or T.J. for Thomas Junior.

The only time I've ever heard the name Maslin was a last name...

I have never heard of Maslin, but Thomas i have heard of. My middle name is Thomas. I wouldn`t name him that. Listen to your husband.

If You Like The Idea Of Naming Him After The Dad Then Try Maddox, It Means "Son Of Mad Dog"

Sorry but don't like it at all.
Why not just use the name Thomas. If you don't want it as a first name then maybe a a middle name.

Hey. If it's pronounced Mason then it's okay but I still would like Thomas or Mason better. I say, don't take what you read here to heart.. if you love a name you should be able to go for it and don't worry about what the yahoo answerers think.
