Oh dear. Just no.
(it would be rather like calling a boy Cockatiel or similar, in that it too is not a name and the word includes a slang expression for genitals.)

How rude, my son Cockatiel loves his name

Definitely not!

MedievalMadness · 04/06/2023 19:37

You simply can't. Well you can, but please don't.

Beeswood · 04/06/2023 19:36

No!

cocksstrideintheevening · 04/06/2023 19:35

God no.

Okay pretty clear 😂

Yes the lake. And pronounced A tit lan

I thought it was pretty!

Check Forvo for pronunciation - it’s more like A - ti - chlan.

weegiemum · 04/06/2023 19:32

Don't. (And I've been to Lake Atitlan, it's amazing!!).

We have "tit" in our surname and the kids - while ok with it now, and in fact quite proud of it - they, and dh, did get a lot of comments growing up.

Possibly some Huns though

Show quote history

That’s Attila 😂

Atilia is a Roman name, but I’ve just Googled the meaning and it means “woman who has difficulty walking” 🥴

Back to the drawing board perhaps…

Eudaimonia5 · 04/06/2023 19:18

No, it's weird and it's got tit in it.

🤣 brilliant first response

RosaSkye · 04/06/2023 19:28

Beatrix means traveller

LorraineInSpain · 04/06/2023 19:28

WetBandits · 04/06/2023 19:25

No GrinGrinGrin

Atilia maybe? Similar sound but no tits…

Titicaca is a more famous lake...

Yes been there too. Even more unsuitable! I wanted something inspired by our travels but I see this one is not suitable!

Don't saddle her with this.

Topseyt123 · 04/06/2023 19:24

A lake won't care if it is nicknamed Tit. A human child will, and it WILL happen. She'll be nicknamed Tit and/or Tits.

Just don't.

Lani would be nice - you’d know it was inspired by Atitlan but it’s very wearable

Floralnomad · 04/06/2023 19:23

It’s awful .

Readyplayerthr33 · 04/06/2023 19:22

It isn’t a name for a person. Ridiculous.

'Lake Atitlán is a lake in the Guatemalan Highlands of the Sierra Madre mountain range.'

You'll really need the accent.
