It's a fantastic name: it even passes the Pope test (as there are several early saints)

4 syllables is a bit long for day to day, and you probably need to be confident to carry off "Tatty" as a nn.

I like it!

phonix · 24/02/2011 22:49

why do people always apologise or say 'you did ask' when saying they dnt like a name! It really bugs me, not liking a name does not personally offend me!

Not unless you're Russian.

OliveMalay · 24/02/2011 08:56

I like it.

ZZZenAgain · 23/02/2011 18:51

nay, really don't like the name , sorry but you did ask.

washngo · 23/02/2011 18:49

My cousin is Swiss german and called anneliese. So I always see that as the 'correct' spelling iyswim.

growing3rdbump · 23/02/2011 18:43

Or Titania...

Sorry I spelt Sascha wrong also.

I like Tatiana, but I think everyone would wonder if the child had russian connections.

I like Anna, really nice name, timeless. DS would have been Anna but for the willy!

oxocube · 23/02/2011 18:08

Anneliese is lovely - Dutch and German names Smile. I also know a Tatiana and she is German

clarkland · 23/02/2011 18:06

Koo Starks daughter is called Tatiana! I think it's a nice name.

SilkStalkings · 23/02/2011 17:24

Don't like because everyone would call her Tatty.

lilly13 · 23/02/2011 17:22

Tatiana is a classical Russian name. Sorry to the 1st poster -- not a hooker, but a name that a lot of upper class / nobility had in the old days. Tastes differ. Personally, not my favorite, but is a nice name...

How about Alicia?

mathanxiety · 23/02/2011 17:07

I like Tatiana and know two, one Russian and middle aged who is Tania for short, and one not Russian, who is known as 'Tate', aged 10.

I would never think prostitute or porn star.

Anneliese has many spellings, and all are acceptable afaik but avoid Annalies because it looks like 'Anna lies'. I like Annaliese.

Would you consider Anastasia? Pretty name, easy to shorten..

yeah Im not so sure what the 'correct' spelling is of Anneliese/Annaliese/Annalise/Annelise is!

YAY!!!!!

It's DD's 3rd name, purely because I didn't have the guts to use it as her first name, but DH and I both love it.

DS2 can only say tatty-banana, though, Hmm

I also liked Tallulah, Saskia, Annelise, and Anastsia (every time I mentioned it DH sang "I'm all out of love" in a stupid way), Electra(DH said porn star). In the end I went for Amelia, and regret it because it's so popular.

How about Annalise, and you can shorten it to Anna? I wish I had gone for Anna.

How about Florence or Alice? I love them too, but for different reasons had to rule them out.
