I have a Tara and want to stick with a T name. Leaning towards Tegan but also like Trinity and Trudy

I prefer Trinity out of the names you have given.

labyrinthlaziness · 18/02/2022 18:46

Trinity is the best, Trudy is OK, except I just mistyped it as turdy and presumably that will happen a lot, not keen on Tegan.

Comedycook · 18/02/2022 18:48

Trudy is quite sweet. Not keen on the others...

How about Tia?

ChimChimeny · 18/02/2022 18:50

I know a Trudy, she's about 50 so seems strange to me for a baby, but then older names are back aren't they 🤷🏻‍♀️

There's an annoying American family oh YouTube with a girl called Trinity, I've never heard it here so definitely not over used

ChimChimeny · 18/02/2022 18:50

I love tia, I grew up watching tia & Tamara 😃

Heartofglass12345 · 18/02/2022 18:51

I like Tegan Smile

Fabuleuse · 18/02/2022 18:52

I'm not keen on Tegan sorry. Of the four you wrote I like Trinity the best. How about

Talia
Tamsin
Thea

Comedycook · 18/02/2022 18:52

Oh Tamara is nice too but perhaps a bit similar to Tara?

UserBotLurking9to5 · 18/02/2022 18:52

I love Tara ❤ great name.
I dont think those other names are in the same league. Can you do another letter?

isthismylifenow · 18/02/2022 18:56

I know two, both with different spellings. Teagan and Teighan.

Justkeeppedaling · 18/02/2022 18:57

Tegan is awful! Sorry.

I would say not Trinity unless you're religious.

Trudy and Trina are both nicknames really but if that doesn't bother you, I quite liked Trudy.

What about Tessa or Tabitha?

UserBotLurking9to5 · 18/02/2022 18:57

Zoe
Anya
Emma
Gemma
Ellen
Niamh
Eve
Beth
Ruth
Jane
Bella

@Justkeeppedaling

Lol, that’s ok. Can I ask why you don’t like it? 🙂

None of these begin with the letter T Grin

I prefer Trinity out of the 3, not keen on Tegan at all

Kendodd · 18/02/2022 19:05

I don't like any of your names, sorry.

Also, I would steer clear of using the same initials. It can make things like receiving mail and being on databases difficult when they are older.

changenametimeagain · 18/02/2022 19:05

I LOVE the name Tegan but a good friend called her baby something very similar just months before my DD was born. Tegan is my cousin's name too. Love love love.

dindot · 18/02/2022 19:05

I really like Tegan. I remember listening to Tegan and Sara's music and thinking the name was pretty.

narcdad · 18/02/2022 19:06

Tamzin
Tabitha
Tamara
Therese
Tia
Toni
Tilly

Rainbowqueeen · 18/02/2022 19:07

I like Tegan. Are you ok with Teegs as a NN?

Luredbyapomegranate · 18/02/2022 19:10

Tegan or Trudy

Trinity sounds like what teachers would call a naughty girl name, Trina sounds like someone from the 70s who got pregnant in school and had a Hard Life.

sadpapercourtesan · 18/02/2022 19:12

I don't like any of them, sorry. They all seem quite faddy and American to me.

I love Tara though. I'd consider Tessa, Trista, Thea, Tamsin (nn Tammy)

Hermymee · 18/02/2022 19:13

None of those names come close to Tara.

Why another T? Pick a name you like, who cares what it begins with?

SpikeySmooth · 18/02/2022 19:14

Tegan is a bit passé now. I think a lot of Tegans were born in the 90s. It sounds quite a harsh name too.

Truly is also quite out of fashion.

I like Trinity.

Also Terri, or Theresa?
