Boy's Name: Tate

[StMichael]

What's your reaction to the boy's name, "Tate"?

I have a Tate so obviously I love it, it really suits him.

Great name

American?
Art fan? (Gallery)
Potato?

Seems a bit 'lightweight' to me, but it would be a boring world if we were all the same!

It means potato.

I really like Tate, a friend just had a little boy and named him the same, she got the name from American horror story season 1

I think its awful sounds like half a bag of sugar

No offence meant.

Imaging how it would sound when others are shouting him. I crossed Hunter off my list because I knew people would pronounce it "Hun'er" I hate when people don't pronounce the T's properly like when people say ta'oo instead of tattoo.

That could just be because of where I'm from and the accent we have though.

I do like the name, but the T thing would put me off.

Makes me think of teat

Modern?

Don't like it.... it's like Brittany for a girl.
Sorry

MagicDucky that is the reason I ruled it out for DS2 so quickly.

I love the name, but where I'm from no one pronounces T's properly so I got scared to use it.

It is a lovely name though op so if you think it'll sound right in your accent then go for it.

Love

Love it.

Not a fan, sorry.

My immediate reaction is, why not.

Made me think of potatoes sorry!

I think of the sugar brand and the gallery.

Nate I love though. Probably a nickname for Nathan though which isn't as nice.

Makes me think of Emma Bunton but she's not the worst celeb to associate a name with. I don't mind the name.

I really like it but as a non-posh southerner the second T wouldn't be pronounced by my family properly so I'll never use it

It makes me think of the film 'Little Man Tate', which is silly because the boy's first name was Fred. If I knew a boy called Tate I would be tempted to call him a nn of Little Man or Fred. That film is already over 20 years old though so wouldn't be a problem with his peer group.

Really like it. (I also think of that film!)

I love it.

Not a fan.

I prefer Nate

Not a good reaction from me...

Misguided art fans or potato lovers.
I suspect it of being in process of becoming cool and trendy, given the level of appreciation.
