No, it's weird and it's got tit in it.

NineOfNine · 04/06/2023 19:18

How should it be pronounced?

Infusionist · 04/06/2023 19:18

How do you pronounce it? Surely not A-tit-lan?

LorraineInSpain · 04/06/2023 19:18

I wouldn’t have a name with the word “tit” in it if she’s going to be growing up in the UK.

If you’re in a country that doesn’t have the same slang, go for it.

RaininSummer · 04/06/2023 19:19

It's an odd name. What is its background?

Thesunwillcomeoutverysoon · 04/06/2023 19:19

Came on to mention the tit issue also...

Yep.
What makes it sound attractive to you, op?!

RosaSkye · 04/06/2023 19:20

As in the lake? I love an unusual name but as above I would avoid this as it’s just so obviously tit in the middle

Topseyt123 · 04/06/2023 19:21

No. If you live in the UK she'll pretty certainly be called Tit, and that will lead to bullying throughout school. Throughout her life really.

Radi0liverpool · 04/06/2023 19:21

Okay pretty clear 😂

Yes the lake. And pronounced A tit lan

I thought it was pretty!

No.

Are you living in the UK?
Tit is British slang for women's breasts or a fool so Atit will sound like "a tit" which makes me think of a boob or a foolish person.

Hamfish · 04/06/2023 19:22

Bizarre

SweetBirdsong · 04/06/2023 19:22

Pleased do not do this to your daughter @Radi0liverpool

AutumnCrow · 04/06/2023 19:22

'Lake Atitlán is a lake in the Guatemalan Highlands of the Sierra Madre mountain range.'

You'll really need the accent.

Readyplayerthr33 · 04/06/2023 19:22

It isn’t a name for a person. Ridiculous.

Floralnomad · 04/06/2023 19:23

It’s awful .

RosaSkye · 04/06/2023 19:23

Lani would be nice - you’d know it was inspired by Atitlan but it’s very wearable

MyFaceIsAnAONB · 04/06/2023 19:23

I just see Alan with ‘tit’ in the middle. Sorry to say!!

🤣

Topseyt123 · 04/06/2023 19:24

A lake won't care if it is nicknamed Tit. A human child will, and it WILL happen. She'll be nicknamed Tit and/or Tits.

Just don't.

caringcarer · 04/06/2023 19:24

Don't saddle her with this.

WetBandits · 04/06/2023 19:25

No GrinGrinGrin

Atilia maybe? Similar sound but no tits…

MoralOrLegal · 04/06/2023 19:26

Titicaca is a more famous lake... 💁
