Tatum

How do we feel about this name ladies? Brutal honesty. Sibset with Arden?

Re: Tatum

  • Love the name and think it will make a darling sibset. Similar ending sound but I like it.

  • I have a cousin named Tatum, and I think the name is really nice. Unusual, but not over the top. I also think it sounds great with Arden.

  • sounds Southern to me...kinda country. Not a problem, just my connotation.
  • Not really a fan.

  • NMS but not awful.
  • If you are having a girl:

     

    My OB's daughter is named Tatum and she was telling me she wished she hadnt picked it. Said when people see or hear the name they always think shes a boy. Just something to think about

    It's nms but I do think it goes well with Arden. (Which I LOVE)

    I agree.

    Potato.

  • I have no idea why but it just reminds me of the word "taint" which is a slang word for the perenium.

    So basically the name makes me cringe!

    This. It is just plain ridiculous. I would assume you are channings biggest fan or you just made it up...or you love last names.
    It reminds me of "taint"

    EDIT: Just wanted to add the I wrote this post before reading pps. Now that I have read them I see i'm not the only one who thinks of "taint"
  • Love it!

    And "taint" or Channing did not come to mind when I read it, at all.

    I actually think of the blonde actress who played "Tatum" in Scream. But I dont relate it to horror movies either, just think of the actress. And then of course the actress Tatum O'Neal.

  • It reminds me of Art Tatum, the jazz pianist, and Drederick Tatum, the Mike Tyson character on The Simpsons.  I totally do not get how this is a girl name.  I love Arden though.

    I could understand if the poster was asking opinions on the name "Hashtag" or "Tru love" those may be "ridiculous" but Tatum is a legit name.

  • I don't like it. Sounds very harsh and masculine and just doesn't measure up to Arden (which I love).

    Ok, I'm so thankful I'm not alone.  I'm not sure if it makes me think of taint, but there is something about Tatum that sounds dirty to me.  Always has.  And I swear, I am not the kind of person who is always coming up with slang sex connections or has my mind in the gutter.  But this name is just a name that makes me cringe.

    I am 100% with you on this! It has always sounded dirty to me and just recently it made me think of taint so i figured that is what it has always reminded me of but I couldn't ever figure it out. I'm not a dirty minded person either! haha

    Oh, I see! So it is a "legit girl name" and because of this my statement is wrong?! My mistake!! NOT. I think YOU are ridiculous for trying to correct my OPINION.
