For a girl. What do you think? I reckon it's very pretty but DH isn't too keen

So tar-rat? So much better. Hmm

squoosh · 24/10/2014 14:09

Like Little Dorrit?

Germgirl · 24/10/2014 14:10

No not rhyming with carrot,that would be daft

Nicename · 24/10/2014 14:12

Tadah would be much better. Pronounce Ta-dah!

ebolahat · 24/10/2014 14:12

Oh dear, no not tar rat! Kind of rhyming with Scarlet. Tarot.

But that's Scar-let nor Scarlat, or Scarlot. Ta-rot?

Too confusing either way!

pieceofpurplesky · 24/10/2014 14:16

No. Imagine how confusing it would be as everyone would call her tarot ( tarrow) and she would have to explain as many times as you have.
Besides all that not a good name at all. Everyone would link with tarot cards.

MerryMarigold · 24/10/2014 14:16

No-one will ever, ever, ever say it right.

And if they can pronounce it, they will spell it Tahrotte.

ah, know there's an idea!

WowserBooooooooooooser · 24/10/2014 14:17

I think you are joshing with us op.

I can't even pronounce it but that's probably because you've spelt it 'Tarot'

YonicScrewdriver · 24/10/2014 14:18

Tara is nice. Go with that!

AnnieLobeseder · 24/10/2014 14:18

So, assuming this isn't a wind up....

Um, "tarrow" cards are spelled "tarot". So that's what everyone will think and how they will pronounce it.

Stropzilla · 24/10/2014 14:20

So Tarret? I'm sorry, that's going to be pronounced like Tarot cards all her life. I love unusual names, honestly, but no.

SantasLittleMonkeyButler · 24/10/2014 14:26

Half term already? Hmm

FunkyBoldRibena · 24/10/2014 14:29

Tadah would be much better. Pronounce Ta-dah!

Snork.

NewEraNewMindset · 24/10/2014 14:31

Omg I've just laughed so hard I've disturbed the cat Grin

So you want to name your pfb Tarot but pronounced Tara and not confusing that with Tarrow cards that are of course spelt Tarot. I can only hope the kid inherits your OHs common sense.

ebolahat · 24/10/2014 14:32

What a shame, it's such a pretty looking word written down but obviously I wouldn't want to cause a lifetime of confusion. Back to the drawing bored I guess

Drawing bored? Oh come on, you are teasing us now Smile

moxon · 24/10/2014 14:47

Oh oh oh my ribs are hurting...

SaskiaRembrandtWasFramed · 24/10/2014 15:47

How about Clare and Voyent for a middle name? That would be lovely :)

SouthernComforts · 24/10/2014 15:52

Joker.

I'm serious, what about joker?

Nicename · 24/10/2014 15:58

Batman

SaskiaRembrandtWasFramed · 24/10/2014 17:10

Actually, forget my idea - definitely go for Batman!

iklboo · 24/10/2014 18:52

I was only saying to our Roulette (pronounced roo-lay).....

IsabellaofFrance · 24/10/2014 19:04

How about jumping on the gangnam style bandwagon and go with Psy Kick
