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
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"
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 don't like it on its own or with Arden. Sorry. (I do like Arden, though!)

This kid may not have a lot of bowel, but he has plenty of guts! DS born at 34 weeks with (surprise!) gastroschisis turned short bowel syndrome. 131 days in the NICU, 7 trips to the OR, G-button, daily TPN....
We are impatiently awaiting the day we can say goodbye to his girlfriend Ivy for good.
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!
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

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.
