Tate/Tayte

[chipsandmushypeas]

Thoughts?

Mercedes is a proper name!

How about James Louis, James Noah, James Arthur?

I know a 4 year old Tate. We are in the USA but I think Daddy is English. I think its nice - makes me think of the gallery.

I think James Tate is lovely !
I'm also a little shocked that Mercedes gets a thumbs up on here, I only read that thread because I thought there would be some flaming going on !!

It's very American. I won spell it Tate. Fwiw, I know a lovely (American) Tate!

won would

Mercedes is fucking awful.

I wouldn't. If you put them in all new clothes, would they be "Tate Modern"?

Tates are potatoes.

So are Edwards.

When you say "after James" OP do you mean as a middle name or that your DS1 is James?

I quite like Tate, would definitely spell it without the Y. It'd be a good unusual middle name.

If it's for a first name have you considered Nathaniel nn Nate?

bird in our family the men use the middle name and the first name is James so he would go by his middle name. Nate is nice too

Oh I see. I think James Tate known as Tate is pretty cool.

I like it.

So it seems to be quite a marmite name! It's grown on me and DP quite a bit especially as it goes well with his name and with James.
