If i saw it I would not pronounce it taz-ee i'd pronounce it like maisy with a t. And I'd assume it was made up. but you love it and that's what matters.

BlindysWife · January 2014

I don't love it. It feels juvenile/cutesy to me. Was it your grandma's given name, or a nickname?

laceyraye8 · January 2014

Complete first, given name for my Great Great Grandmaw. We actually found a Tax form that she signed to make sure we had the spelling correctly.

laceyraye8 · January 2014

Well considering Raye is spelled that way from my MawMaw and me, I'm keeping it that way, and Tazie was on the tax form that was a legal document, and we know it was her first name, not a nickname.

I'm sorry but I don't like it at all. And I wouldn't have pronounced it correctly.

laceyraye8 · January 2014

Wow, some people. There are names on these tickers that no way in a million years would I consider naming my kid that, but I am mature enough to know that people have their own opinions and in no way am I going to agree with everyone.

Wait? Are you naming her after a taser or a ray gun?

I share this sentiment.

laceyraye8 · January 2014

The fact that you can't even follow simple instructions _Taz as in Tazmanian Devil, not Taser. Shows that your opinion clearly isn't one I was even worrying myself over. So your taser/ray gun comment was plain ignorant. Not worried about you one bit.

So are you going to put "Tazie (TAZ-ee)" on her BC and all of her paperwork for pronunciation help?

My name is Kristin, and it still manages to get butchered. You can't expect that everyone you run into is going to be able to read her name the way you want it to. There's no frame of reference... nobody's met your great-great-mawmaw.

It feels like it should be the heroine of some ghastly Nickelodeon show.

This exactly. Really bad name, sorry.

We are already dead set on Tazie Raye, it's a family name, but I want other peoples opinions. It's pronounced Taz like Tazmanian Devil and E, Taz E. Tazie was my Great Great Grandmaw's name and Raye is my MawMaw's and my middle name. I think it sounds short, sassy and bold, but still being different without going too far out there and creating a name like some people I know have done recently.
I understand they are family names, but, really, that first name is horrible. First off bc no one will ever pronounce it right. Definitely thought it was Tay-zee. And second off bc it is just not feminine or appealing. Sorry. Qfp

FTW.

I don't understand why people who are "dead set" on a name come here to ask for comments and then freak out and DD when they get exactly what they asked for. If you're set on a name, then why do you care what strangers think?

And PS, this was a dirty delete fail cause we can still see the name in your ticker.

Okay, I came in here after the DD, but you do realize that according to the usual pronunciation rules of English, Tazie would be pronounced with a long A, right? That's not a matter of opinion, that's how the language works. Now if you pronounce the name differently, that's your choice (and a family tradition, which I won't quibble with here), but you can't always instruct people how to pronounce your child's name. It's simply impractical. As someone whose daughter has an unusual name that is not always easy for people to spell or pronounce, I will tell you, you can't teach you child to carry an unusual name with confidence if you are so sensitive about it yourself.

Gigi8212 · January 2014

I never understand when posters ask for opinions and then freak out and dd when they don't get the responses they wanted. Why post at all?

Also, FTR I would have assumed it was pronounced Tay-zee. So as much as you love the name, consider the fact that it will likely be butchered all. the. time.

Meery82 · January 2014

OP sounds like a real peach. What was the name she posted? It was DD'd.

ETA: nevermind, I see it in her ticker. Yikes. @-)

Classic.

LOL! I find it very humorous that she is going to talk shit about other posters' name choices when she posts a doozy like this.

I actually would have guessed the pronunciation correctly, but don't see this aging well. I work in a very conservative profession (accounting firm), and people are extremely formal: for example, today I talked to a Debra, a John, a Michael, a Michelle, a Mark, a Jennifer (she goes by Jenni outside of work but uses the professional version at work), etc.... Tazie wouldn't go. Like, likely wouldn't get an interview bad. I know it has sentiment, but would you potentially want to limit future options because people will judge?

NerdyLucy · January 2014

Maybe as a middle name?
