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?

Unisex

As I said, I was going by your tone.

Tatum O’Neil

Have you never heard her name? I wouldn't recognise her but I'd know the name.

I've not heard, or not remembered, hearing the name either. I'd think it was more male, but would see it as a surname in the first instance.

Also reminds me of potatoes for some reason.

I'd assume female because of Tatum O'Neal. I've never met a Tatum, so the actress is my only reference point.

Male because of Khloè Kardashian. It also reminds me of a totem poll. Or taint....

Unisex but it's pretty.

Female because of Tatum O''Neil but quite unusual. As regards Khloe Kardashian, that family has form for messing about with names and putting their own twist on things.

Re Channing Tatum - isn't that the weirdest male first name you ever did hear? Channing screams female to me

Only know one person, Tatum O'Neal. Female.

I'd assume they were an iconic American jazz pianist.

Female because the only person I have heard of with that name, Tatum O Neil, is female

Feminine

Neutral.

With potato connotations.

Female, as pp, Tatum O'Neil

Now that I am thinking on it, it is quite pretty.

But still quite potatoey ...

It's because of the "tate" bit.

It’s a harsh sounding name.

I think it could be either. Never heard of it as a first name before. It's a bit weird

Like most pp, female because of Tatum O'Neal (she was amazing in Paper Moon when she was only 8).

I've never met anyone called Tatum in real life and haven't come across any other famous ones. It's always sounded a bit daft to me - not a real name and not something I'd inflict on a baby.

Nope. Never ever heard of her, hasn't even started ringing bells once people started saying it. The only 'Tatum' I have ever heard is the surname of Channing. Sorry!

Another one who hasn't heard of the actress! I feel like it would be a wee boy if I saw the name on my register in school, but then I also think it would be a great name for a tortoise shell female cat. So I guess I'm voting unisex. (Mind you, I also know a female cat called Mr Darcy)

I think it's pretty.

I also like Tace and Tacita.

"The girls' name Tace (pronounced TAYS) comes from the Latin word tacere, which means "to be silent" or "to be quiet". It literally translates to "silence" or "the quiet one," and was historically used as a virtue name emphasizing discretion and calm."

I think it was popular with Quakers. Nowadays not so PC!

"Tacita is a rare girl’s name of Latin origin meaning "silent" or "quiet". It is the feminine form of the ancient Roman name Tacitus. In Roman mythology, Dea Tacita was the silent goddess of the dead and the underworld."

Again not sure how it fits with modern world!
