Kids are so mean. And you're right - if they are gonna tease any name can be altered! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/personal#post-2382523 Wed, 09 Dec 2015 07:20:14 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2382523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsLilybugg: any name can become a mean nickname. I developed early and my BFF's bros turned my last name into Tittum. My maiden name did not start with T, but the change had similar pronunciation and provided playful alliteration for my first and last name. So yeah, kids can be cruel and clever. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/personal#post-2382450 Tue, 08 Dec 2015 23:22:13 +0000 MrsLilybugg 2382450@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thank you so much everyone ! :grin: I hope I can convince him that the possible nick name scenario should not be a deal breaker. (And yes @loveisstrange: that's the nickname he is afraid of lol). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/personal#post-2382382 Tue, 08 Dec 2015 21:58:17 +0000 Mamasig 2382382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I made the connection right away when you mentioned a juvenile nickname. But I might just have a dirty mind. My BIL has the nickname Tati. No clue where it came from because his name is Cesar. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/personal#post-2382367 Tue, 08 Dec 2015 21:29:15 +0000 Corduroy 2382367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went to high school with a Tati. I don't recall anyone calling her inappropriate names. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/personal#post-2382256 Tue, 08 Dec 2015 19:25:32 +0000 loveisstrange 2382256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm assuming he means Titty? That's the only juvenile nickname I can think of for Tatiana. Lol. I would never make that connection normally.</p> <p>I've known a couple. The only nickname I've heard is Tati. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/personal#post-2382240 Tue, 08 Dec 2015 19:01:13 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2382240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like it. I know someone who goes by Tati. Never heard anyone make fun of it although I only have known her as a teen/adult. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/personal#post-2382222 Tue, 08 Dec 2015 18:47:22 +0000 sapphire 2382222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's a lovely name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/personal#post-2382210 Tue, 08 Dec 2015 18:27:47 +0000 daniellemybelle 2382210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You can think of mean nicknames for almost any name! So I wouldn't let that stop you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/personal#post-2382204 Tue, 08 Dec 2015 18:17:38 +0000 LAZB 2382204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I knew a girl in my sorority in college that was named Tatiana and also went by Tati, she was beautiful, well liked, and selfless (later donated her kidney to a family member!), so I have a great connotation with that name and nickname. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/personal#post-2382159 Tue, 08 Dec 2015 17:27:55 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2382159@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No immediate bad nicknames come to mind for me. I think it's a beautiful name! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/personal#post-2382110 Tue, 08 Dec 2015 16:47:21 +0000 hellobeeboston 2382110@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know someone with this name that goes by Tata. I don't love it.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/personal#post-2382075 Tue, 08 Dec 2015 16:25:13 +0000 Keybee 2382075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's a pretty name. My DH also strikes down names because of possible nick-names. Honestly, it doesn't matter what your name is, if kids want to tease you they will find a way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/personal#post-2382071 Tue, 08 Dec 2015 16:22:41 +0000 Ms. RV 2382071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I knew a Tatiana and she went by Tawny. She didn't get made fun of. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/personal#post-2382033 Tue, 08 Dec 2015 15:55:51 +0000 Meowkers 2382033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know many Tatianas as it is a very common Russian name. No immediate bad nicknames come to mind. The women/girls I know usually go by Tatiana or Tania for short </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/personal#post-2382032 Tue, 08 Dec 2015 15:55:45 +0000 winter_wonder 2382032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like the sound of it too :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/personal#post-2382028 Tue, 08 Dec 2015 15:54:20 +0000 Reese 2382028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Beautiful name </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/personal#post-2382023 Tue, 08 Dec 2015 15:50:36 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2382023@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I knew a gorgeous girl in junior high named Tatiana. I mean gorgeous- model beautiful that could do print work for both cosmetics and hair products. Anyway we all called her by her full name or playfully Tati. No bad nicknames. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/personal#post-2382005 Tue, 08 Dec 2015 15:28:16 +0000 MrsLilybugg 2382005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ok so it's been hard thinking of a name that fits our requirements (we want something that pays homage to both our heritages via origin / pronunciation). </p> <p>So as a KID, My DH used to tease other kids using nicknames (don't worry y'all - he is so so sorry), and now he strikes names down based on possible nick names. (I know he's not the only one that does this)</p> <p>He has struck down the name Tatiana because of a possible nickname (which I feel too juvenile to write<br /> Lol). Was anyone relentlessly teased As a kid if you have this particular name? Or do you know anyone that was ? </p>
