Prepared for her to be called "Taint"

What is "taint"?

Ugh- now you move into the realm last names as first names. And it does make one think of potatoes. Is the thought that it’s pronounced ta-tee?

My middle aged brother is named Tate. Pronounced TAY-t.

Ok, cool. But we’re talking about a girl named Tatiana, right?

Try to keep up, dear.

Love Tate. Never thought of it. Going for it if my next baby is a girl.

There hasn't been a well known Russian ice skater called Tatiana in the last 20ish years except maybe the 2006 Oly pairs champion Tatiana Totmianina but she's hardly a household name. Oh wait..

Well at Natalia and Alexandra were appropriated back in the day from Greek & Latin.

OK but Natasha and Sasha definitely weren't.

We are not Russian (but she's maybe 1/4 Russian from 4 generations ago.)

Tati is an adorable NN for Tatiana, Tate- not so much.

When I was 12 this was the name I chose for my future daughter.

I like it! At first I thought of A Midsummer’s Night Dream but that is Titania.
