What does everyone think of the name Tate !

[Tia2005]

I keep going on and of the name its for a boy .

I would think the parents watched too much TV. It sounds like a character name, not a rl name.

Emma Bunton has a son called Tate. Makes me think of Tate Donovan.

I don't see why the American Horror Story association should be a bad thing. Tate is a great character. I love the name.

One of the brightest boys I know is called Tate - he's perhaps 11, so well before any AHS associations!

I love it despite the American Horror Story connection. He's a character in a TV show not real.

But an adorable rapist, school-shooting ghost.

I think it's very American - isn't Aidens baby that he's carrying in a sling when he bumps into Carrie on the street called Tate? Also makes me think of potato, as they are often called "taters" where I come from.

So it would be a no from me..

Don't like it... Sorry.. One of those American sounding surname names like Heath and Harrison. Sounds like something inspired by TV

Don't like it at all, sorry.

I like it, know of a little boy called Tate. it's unusual but not unheard of.

I know a baby boy called Tate and I always think of the art gallery. I'm not mad about it but it's not the worst I've heard

Tate will date

I've always really liked the name. My sister's best-friend-from-childhood has an older brother named Tate. I'm in the US, if that makes a difference to you.

Don't like it.
Sounds a lot like "tat".
And it's a surname.

I thought "girl" when I read it - mainly because Americans often use surnames as girls name. I think it's like Brodie or Kenzie etc.

Awful. Sorry

Horrid sorry

Had to post as my 7 month old son is called Tate. Stating the obvious I love the name and can't imagine him being called anything else. It will suit him no matter what his age and will never be overly popular. Of course there is the Tate and Lyle association but I think that's great (Sir Henry Tate was the owner of the sugar company and later a philanthropist who became the namesake of the Tate Britain).

He sounds like a great namesake backtowork!

I quite like it!

It's not really my cup of tea (like many surnames as first names) but it's not awful. It fits in well with those sort of short, dynamic names like Kyle, Finn, Jake etc. I used to have an online friend in America whose son's full name was Taylor and they called him Tate.

Personally not keen and it could sound awful in local accent depending on where you live
I agree with whoever said it sounds a bit try-hard, which as we all know is the ultimate mumsnet sin

I have a Tate so obviously I love it!
