My cousin actually has a friend named Tatum and I love it! I would probably do something a little more traditional like PPs said. Elizabeth or Rose both sound good! It also depends on your last name :-) Maybe even Tatum Michelle?
I actually really like the name. Think about a middle name with one syllable, that will flow well.

I do, also want tater tots now (and I have no idea what Tatum has to do with it, just sounds delicious)
But you def need a feminine middle name with that name. I haven't checked to see but you could post this over on the baby name board. They are very helpful with suggestions.

I agree with all of this. That said, I think Tatum Rose would be a fine choice.
I'm not really up on pop culture or psuedo celebrities, so I've never hear of Tatum. Not even sure how to pronounce it. Taytoom? I think of totem poles.
This name is not my style at all and I personally would not want to be named this at any age. If you truly love the name, I'd recommend a very clearly feminine middle.
One piece of naming advice I have is this - if you're going to use a unique or different name, introduce yourself with that name to strangers (like the baristas at Starbucks) and see if it makes you feel uncomfortable or if you get strange looks or comments. Remember this child will have to deal with having this name for the next 80ish years of their life.
I like it! I'm tired of Kaitlyns and Ashleys and Haleys, etc. I agree with pp about choosing a more traditional middle name, though. I liked Elizabeth and Rose (my middle name).
2 things: 1, I thought of Tatum Rose because Rose McGowan played Tatum in Scream 2. My college roommate had a Maine coon cat named Tatum and we called her taters. The cat was named after the Scream character, BTW.

FWIW, my name is Tatum & I've never been uncomfortable introducing myself OR received strange looks or comments. In fact, I'm almost always complimented. If you love it, go for it!
