What are thoughts on [name]Tatum[/name] on a boy?

I like [name]Tatum[/name], although I will be honest and say I’ve only ever met a girl with this name. I like it fine on both genders. [name]Tate[/name] is a really fun nickname too.

I like it. Though I’d first assume [name]Tatum[/name] was a girl.

I like it for both. Definitely still works on a boy

If I didn’t automatically think of [name]Tatum[/name] O’[name]Neal[/name], I would picture it more of a boys’ name.

I really like it on a boy!

I’ve always thought [name]Tatum[/name] worked better for a boy than a girl! Especially with the nn [name]Tate[/name].

I think it is a girls name.

Much, much better for a boy. There is nothing feminine or soft about this name so I’ve never understood it being used for girls.

I think the thing about [name]Tatum[/name] is that it is like [name]Dakota[/name], it has a strong iconic female actress to associate to the name, but actually both names do work well for a boy and [name]Tatum[/name] is on my list for boys. There used to be a mom here too who named her son [name]Tatum[/name].
