It’s very likely going to remain as a GP/MN, but I adore the name [name_f]Tulsa[/name_f] after watching GI [name_m]Blues[/name_m], and I’ve been toying with combos for it lately.
[name_f]Tulsa[/name_f] [name_u]John[/name_u] seems to be the best fitting for me so far, but I’d love to know other people’s thoughts on it, because if the general consensus is good, I may try and see if S/O will agree to it up front
What are your thoughts on [name_f]Tulsa[/name_f] [name_u]John[/name_u]?
Wow, like it! Never heard of [name_f]Tulsa[/name_f] before, but it sounds quite down-to-earth. Of course I adore [name_u]John[/name_u] as middle name. It also lets the possibility of TJ as a nickname, which I’ve always like.
I adore [name_f]Tulsa[/name_f] [name_u]John[/name_u]! The balance between the quirky, outdoorsy first and the solid, classic middle is fantastic. I will, of course, advocate for an [name_m]Elvis[/name_m] related name, but I think the connection is fantastic for you! Here’s hoping S/O can be persuaded.
I feel pretty neutral on [name_f]Tulsa[/name_f], but I do like it for you!! I’ve always loved [name_u]John[/name_u] and I think it sounds great with [name_f]Tulsa[/name_f]
[name_f]Tulsa[/name_f] brings to mind the [name_f]Tulsa[/name_f] race massacre in the US where a white mob destroyed a thriving [name_m]Black[/name_m] neighborhood and murdered several people. The sound is nice but it is not a name I would recommend using as it is something that people have been attempting to bring light to and is is becoming more well known as horrible national event with time, rather than less. I’ve mentioned this with [name_m]Rosewood[/name_m] as well and while I think [name_m]Rosewood[/name_m] is only known locally in [name_f]Florida[/name_f] and theoretically still useable, [name_f]Tulsa[/name_f] has been on the national news and is in- or will be in- our American history books so is a larger scale event.
@teajay - I don’t live in the US so I’m not overly familiar with the [name_f]Tulsa[/name_f] riots. I’ve never heard any reference to them in [name_f]Canada[/name_f] so I’m not sure the connection is the same, but I’ll keep this in mind. Thank you.
