Opinions on Tatum?

coliebride · December 2010

for a girl?

strangebird · December 2010

Hate it. I go from Tatum to Tater to Potato in a matter of seconds. Yuck.

cjilla · December 2010

I know a really cute little girl with this name, so I have a favorable view.

BellaKelsey · December 2010

I love it.

Teffie · December 2010

I know how you are supposed to pronounce it, but whenever I see that name I say Tat-Um. Not a fan.

I have a second cousin named Tatum. I don't think she will ever grow out of Tater Tot.

LMS05 · December 2010

Strongly dislike it. My cousin is named Tate and people in our family still call him Tater tot. He's in his 30s! I imagine this would happen with Tatum. Also, it doesn't sound pretty.

I don't like it, to me it sounds masculine.

GingerNess · December 2010

I'm sorry, I must be gross...first thing thats comes to mind is taint.

MamaCat21 · December 2010

It makes me think of potatoes and totem poles.

kbratton2king · December 2010

I like it and at least she won't be one of 10 Charlotte's, Audrey's, Grace's, (and the normal most liked names on this board) in her class.

TripMomma · December 2010

I wouldn't use it but I do like it. I know two Tatum's, both are girls one is 5 the other is 2.

See...this is one of those names that I do really like and think would be adorable.

But just don't have the guts to use. Ugh. I get the strong sense that it's just a little too 'different' to escape lots of weird looks in our circle of family/friends...

HarperM · December 2010

I actually really like it! It's different, but not totally out there.

Me too. Though the name is NMS, the only person who I know with this name is an adorable blond-haired, blue eyed little girl.

mc15 · December 2010

Not a huge fan of the way it sounds, but I looked up the meaning-"cheerful bringer of joy", and knowing that makes it a nice choice imo

narabug · December 2010

I really don't like it. The sound is ugly.

onislandtime · December 2010

Tatum O'neal - and she is a train wreck.

scoutkate · December 2010

I like it. I know several Tatums of all different ages. It's cute and it grows well. It's NMS personally, but I much prefer it to other masculine sounding female names like Addison and Emerson.
