Tate or Tully?

Opinions? For a girl. They go very nicely with our surname which is feminine so sets off the masculinity.

Also any names similar. I also like Kate but it is too popular (and dated imo).

Sorry don't like Tully at all, Tate is better but there are much nicer names out there.

I know a Tully in the US. She's 7

I wouldn't use either on a girl, and probably not Tully at all.

(Together they do come across as an homage to actors Catherine and Michelle).

Both yuck IMO.

Tate is a boys name and Tully is the surname of the actress who played Michelle Fowler!

I actually like Tate but only if you can deal with people not liking it or considering it 'odd'
Tully I really don't like - makes me think of Tulisa ie the X factor judge who was done for drug dealing!
What about Cate as a compromise between Kate and Tate?

The Monsters Inc monster is Sully - that's why I was thinking it! Knew it hadn't popped into my head completely willy-nilly...

Ooh, neither for a girl.
I know a little boy Tate, and an adult Tate (also male), but don't think it's a very feminine name at all.
And Tully is just a bid odd and surnamey. And is making me think of that big monster in Monsters Inc for some reason.

Neither

Sorry, no to both.

Tate makes me think of Tate & Lyle sugar manufacturers and Tully sounds more like a surname....
