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

Oh my god you cannot name your daughter Tarragon.

Watapalava · 18/02/2022 22:08

Tegan is nice - much nicer than Tara for me if I’m honest

Dislike Trinity with a passion - sounds like a hookers name

I’d go for

Tilly
Tess

Tbh there aren’t many nice T names so I’d avoid picking something average for sake of a T. These I’ve mentioned are merely ‘best of a bad bunch’

Really like Tegan think slightly prefer teagan spelling
not keen on Trinity, Tia /Truly also ok not great just a bit bland..

UserBotLurking9to5 · 18/02/2022 22:21

I know my suggestions dont start with t!
But they go better with Tara
They're nicer names
I asked op if it had to be T

I like Tegan a lot, Tiggy for short.
For me it goes fine with Tara.

Trudy is short for Gertrude.

Isn't Tarragon a green herb?

Trinity, Tess, Talia, Tilly/Tilda -- all fine, too.

Tea/Thea/Tia all don't work for me. Aunt in Spanish or a cuppa.

Trinny almost = Tranny rhymes with Fanny...

My friend has a Tasmin. She's called Taz for short and it really suits her! That's my favourite T name for girls. It goes lovely with Tara and is a bit different.

Scarby9 · 18/02/2022 22:32

I like all your T names.
Other suggestions:Tess
Tessa
Tamra
Tilly
Tilda
Toni
Tempe

AnnieSnap · 18/02/2022 22:38

I really don’t like Tegan. At the risk of being flamed, I think it sounds chavy! Tara is good\1

PraiseBee · 18/02/2022 22:39

Tallulah
Tatiana (Tanya)
Tulia

Blueexpress · 18/02/2022 22:40

How about Keegan instead of Tegan? Tara and Keegan. Not a T but I like it

I love Tegan, it's a favourite of mine.
Loads of other great T names too.
I like
Trinity, Tamsin, Talia and Tabitha,

I once fell off a horse called Trudy four times in the same lesson, then she bit me... so that name gets a "no" from me Grin

NashvilleQueen · 18/02/2022 22:49

Keegan is worse I'm afraid.

Also Tegan reminds me of a whole internet meme thing that goes something like 'Tegan delete this FFS'. No idea of the origins but it's the first thing I think of.

NashvilleQueen · 18/02/2022 22:50

Please don't go with Keegan

Tegan
LizzieBet14 · 18/02/2022 22:51

Talia or Tess are the nicest for me - but I've known siblings with the same initial to get mistaken for who is who..... ie 'Are you Tara or Tess?' - much to their annoyance.

ThreeLocusts · 18/02/2022 23:00

Recently met someone called Talita, quite like that one.

MadeForThis · 18/02/2022 23:16

Tierna
Tessie
Tessa
Tanya
Toni

Lovemydoggie · 18/02/2022 23:23

Trudy or Tara…Tegan meh I am afraid.

AnnieSnap · 19/02/2022 00:02

I quite like Tulip

CharlieBoo · 19/02/2022 00:19

My dd (12) Has a friend called Teagan.: they call her Teags.. to me it’s just such a waste when they could’ve called her a beautiful girls name.. it’s just so American and cheap sounding.. sorry 😫

FurryGrowler · 19/02/2022 07:34

None of them. Sorry op

FurryGrowler · 19/02/2022 07:36

How about Tracy 😆

Flatandhappy · 19/02/2022 07:41

I like Tegan and know a couple. The "not posh" made me howl but I am not in the UK. I do find it funny how British people are so obsessed with the class thing. I liked Tia for DD but once a Spanish waiter pointed out in meant aunt in Spanish I couldn't do it.

Andithoughtiwasspecial · 19/02/2022 07:46

Tansy?
