Tatiana What? ...

[mollymodge]

We've shortlisted our girls baby names but we're still a little unsure: Please let me know what you think would be a good middle name, for Tatiana.

(Possibly Guinevere,Genevieve or Beatrice) ...

(Boys name would be Edward Arthur - we think!)

Tatiana Beatrice = TB (or Tony Blair. Ugh).

Of those, I'd go for Guinevere.

:-)
thankyou!

oh - seeing it like that TB - Tuberculosis! I didn't think of the initials!

how long is your surname?

Tatiana Guinevere Fotherington-Thomas will make form-filling in later life very difficult

Tatiana Guinevere Jones sounds like you are tryin gto make up for something

I think in the interests of balance you need something shorter than any of your suggestions tbh - Tatiana is a mouthful to start with IMO and I would go for a single syllable.

My form filling was horrendous growing up! I have a double barrelled surname and I'm Anastasia Bonnie ... we already have a Tabitha Tallulah!

hmm ...

so they will be sisters called Tabitha and Tatiana?

Tabby and Tatty?

I am not on board here, sorry.

Beatrice is lovely though

I think Tatiana is lovely (though not only Tatty and Tabby sounding similar, but endless arguments over who opened the post addressed to Ms T Jones, mixups over credit files etc) but I do think a shorter second name would be nice with it.

Tatiana Mary is quite nice? Tatiana Belle? Tatiana Hope?

Oooh, we have the same tast in names!

DD's midddle name is Tatiana, and she would have been Edward if she were a boy.

I like Tabitha Genevieve best.

Be warned, though...my DSs call DD "TattyBanana"!

Tatiana Genevieve sounds lovely, as does Tatiana Guinevere!

I think I prefer those to shorter middle names.

Thankyou all for your opinions

I know we can never control NN - mine's molly from Anastasia!!!!

My daughter's NN is either Tabs or Tula ... from Tabitha. (I would try for Teddy from Edward!)

Other possiblilities were: Violet? Scarlet? Winifred? Agatha? Camilla?

No, no, stick with Taiana, it's great!

Tatiana.

tbh I think any of those would be better than Tatiana

you did ask...

I had a friend called Tatiana when I was at nursery. I couldn't pronounce it so called her Titty-anna.

how cute!!!! (I used to be anasthetic!!)

mrsbadger - Fotherington-Thomas is already trying to make up for something (Molesworth much better!).

As is Snotface-Smith and Clutterbuck-Brown.

Do you think that as the actual surnames are becoming rather less common (as in usual) then people will start ditching the little snobby add-ons?

Sorry - I digressed. not a huge fan of Tatiana but hey...its okay.

I'd go for something quite simple with a long frilly first name like Tatiana (which is lovely, btw, but deffo frilly ).

A one syllable name? Joy, Bea, Grace, Fern, Fleur, Ruth, Gwen, Hope, Faith

What about Tatiana Eve?
