Is the name Tatum feminine, masculine, or unisex?

[WontStopCantStop]

If you heard the name Tatum, would you assume the person called that was female, male, or could go either way?

The only Tatum I know in real life is a woman

male

Female. I know one in her 20s.

I'd assume, I think, female because of Tatum O'Neal but it's really not a nice name. I think of tantrum.

Female because of Tatum O'Neal

Oscar winning actress and ex-wife of John McEnroe.

Female - Tatum O’Neal.

Female.

Sounds like a brand name for powdered potato mash.

Thanks, never heard of her, I have heard of John McEnroe but only because my parents were into tennis in the 80/90's. I have no interest in tennis, dreadfully dull, he was probably the most entertaining thing about it!

I still think the look and sound of it is very masculine. I'd say it'd be like calling a girl Woody, James, Stevie. But I don't have the association of the oscar winner.

Tatum O’Neal, daughter of Ryan O’Neal. Will resonate with Love Story generation.

Female, because of Tatum O'Neal.

I only heard of it being used as a male name recently and it sounded odd to me.

I've never liked it; it reminds me of 'tantrum'. I suspect it sounds slightly better in an American accent.

Female because of the actress. Sounds a bit too much like derivatives of potato for my liking though.

Male. I was in school with a lad with that as a surname and that became his nickname.

Female, Tatum O'Neal. Never heard it used as a male first name.

Male,but awful.

To me it's a masculine sounding name, but I've heard of it being used by both males and females

unisex leaning to female. I don’t think it’s that unusual 🤷‍♀️

Male or female it reminds me too much of Taint.

"Oooh, I've got a right itchy Tatum".

The only Tatums I know are male

Do you have any interest in anything?
(I'm going by your tone - many pp have mentioned her, which suggests it's a person one should have heard of)

Female

I think of a male, it sounds masculine to me

I don’t like it, sorry.

Really? How many do you know? I only ask because I've never heard of a man called Tatum.

Does not having an interest in tennis and never having heard of an actress I assume was popular when I was very young mean I don't have an interest in anything?! Crikey 😁I have many interests! I apologise to have not heard of this one woman that about 15 people on here have heard of. Can you list every single actress from every single decade that has won an award? 😉 Do you have any interests outside of tennis and oscar winning actresses of the 80's (70's? Or was it 90's)?
