Tamsin is my favorite, but I do not really like it much with the Y instead of the I ending. So I voted for Keeley, which I also love: it is sweet and girly but strong at the same time. I can see a little girl named Keeley or a grown businesswoman. Great name!

Nyree is pretty but maybe a bit too unusual. Maybe Nyla?

The others were just a bit bland or boring for me. But I like Keeley very much.

Love Tamsin and like Devanie... but not quite sure why you are spelling them so strangely. I would stick with proper spellings.

Tamsin is gorgeous.

I would only go with the Maori name if you are, in fact, of Maori heritage. My vote went to Tessa (love it!) for three reasons:

1) I don't know if you're Maori. If you are, I would definitely consider the ethnic name.
2) Tamsyn and Devany look like they're marching in the Random 'Y' Parade. I would stick with the proper Tamsin and Devanie spellings. Spelled correctly, they're beautiful names, but the Y's make them look too trendy and misspelled.
3) Keeley is cute, but too nicknamey, and it just kind of blobs together for me with all the other K names out there. Kylie, Kaylee, Kyreigh, Keira, etc.

Are you from New Zealand or do you have Maori ties? If so, I say Nyree hands down. I love names that reflect heritage, and I think Nyree is pretty and unique.
