I know that many of you think/thought that Tatum looked masculine. Do any of you think that Taytum looks better? Just wondering, does anybody know of any Tatum's?


I just LOVE the name!


Thanks,


Lily

I like the spelling of Tatum the best. Taytum looks too weird. It's an unusual name anyway, so I think the most classic spelling should be used. JMO...

Tatum is the "known' spelling - Taytum could look a bit more feminine I guess. I personally like the Tatum spelling - there was a Taytum in my granddaughter's kdg class this year

I don't think I know any Tatums in real life--just Tatum O'Neill and Sydney's friend (girl) Tatum in the first "Scream" movie. I don't think it looks masculine--it just doesn't look cutesy. And I think that's just fine--I'm not fun of butchering spellings for the sake of femininity. (For what it's worth, it IS traditionally feminine.)

Honestly, I like it. And it would make perfect sense with a sister named Harper.

Oh! Good so you do think that it would be cute w/ sis Harper? I have seen on hospital websites the name Tatum twisted into Teightymn. That is not what I want to do at all. I just dont want a little girl with a masculine name. Personally, I love Tatum spelled Tatum but just making sure that Taytum didn't look better. Does anybody like the nn Tate or are there any other nn that can come from Tatum???


Thanks,
