Baby Names

can't decide

If we have a boy we are debating between three names,
Taitum Blake
Mason Blake
Gavin Blake
I really like all three, but can't pick which one is the best!
Our girls name is set, Adalyn Brooke

Re: can't decide

  • Gavin for sure!! Leaps and bounds better than the other two!
  • My vote also goes to Gavin.  Taitum is really NMS (and the spelling seems odd to me; I'm sure I've only seen it spelled Tatum) and Mason is a bit too trendy for my taste.  Really like Gavin, though!

  • Mason. Or Gavin. Just not Taitum.

  • Gavin Blake
  • Gavin, hands down.
  • Would you consider Blake as the first name? Love Blake Gavin. Or vice versa if you wanna keep Blake in the middle name spot.

  • Tatum is how it's spelled
  • Definitely Gavin.

  • Gavin. Mason is overdone and Tatum is nms
  • My niece is an Adalynn. She's seven now, and she's been Addy since day one. Super common, but it suits her in all her sweetness. :)

    For boys, Gavin is my pick of the three. Tatum is just ok, not great, but only if you lose the "i." Take it from someone who's had to correct the spelling of her name for my entire 30 years, I feel like that one little "i" being "cute" on a baby is going to be super annoying for him as he gets older. Mason is super trendy, and he'll likely spend his whole school life being one of two or three Masons in his class at school.

    Ramblings aside, Gavin Blake has a good flow.

    My Chart
  • Gotta lose that I in Tatum or he's going to be taintum forever... and it looks ridiculous. Also, I'd pick Gavin.
  • Gavin or Mason

  • Gavin. I don't see the appeal of Mason and I have only seen Tatum (spelled this way) for a girl.

  • I really like Gavin. Mason is okay and Taitum is a hot mess.
  • I like Gavin the best
  • Gavin or Mason. Both are a little trendy to me.
  • Gavin for sure. Mason is cute but way too trendy. Not really sure what Taitum is...like Channing Tatum? Or Tatum O'Neal? Either way, it is not good.

    This. That is the first thing I thought of....."Oh poor Taintum..........."

    I would pick Gavin. The only Tatum's I know, are girls. And I like Mason, but it is really popular. I like Tate for a boy.....but not Tatum

  • I like Gavin. I used to like Mason but I'm kind of bored of it. Don't like Taitum/Tatum at all.

    Tatum. I think Mason is too trendy and Gavin is too popular.
  • Thank you to everyone who left opinions! I'm leaning more towards Gavin than either of the others, although DH likes Tatum. I've always spelled Tatum without the "I" since i liked the name, and then my husband through it in as a different spelling. Whoops. Haha.

    Isn't Tatum a girl's name? And look, don't let that stop you. But i personally dislike it for any gender or species. 

    Look, go with Gavin. Mason is also not offensive. 

    That is all. That is all i have to say.
