Following on from the Tam/Tammy thread - names to go with............

Tamuka (boys).

Tamuka would be the first name. Middle name needs to be (preferablly) British in origin, NOT common, and can't start with A, S or Y.

Come on help me out

Think a one syllable name would go best...something like Joel, James, Dain, Kyle, Bryce, Bryn etc

To give you an idea what we've already got DS1 is Tafara Yehudi (yes I know it's not British....) and DS2 Tongai Scott.

QoQ - they are very unusual names! Really exotic sounding. If it diesn't sound like a crass David Brent question - what's their origin?

Tafara, Tongai and Tamuka are all Shona (Zimbabwean) names.

Tamuka Joe
Tamuka Dan
Tamuka Ben
Tamuka Zak
Tamuka Louis (not British, admittedly)

I really thought I was having a boy, but I'm not, so those are all my boy names...

It is hard - reason for not having S and Y - quite obvious given my current DS's names - don't want the same initials. A would be wierd as the shortened name would be Tam, and his initials would also end up being T.A.M.

James I think.

Don't know why.

Just like the sound of it.

Iklboo · 02/10/2006 16:01

Must admit - that was the first name I thought of to go with Tamuka

HRHQueenOfQuotes · 02/10/2006 16:02

which one - James??

I do like James.....but it's been no.4 on the top 100 baby names in the UK for the last couple of years.......
