Tattie

[nvettie]

Any opinions on the name Tattie? I find it really pretty for some reason.

I don't really like it unless it's a nickname for something longer, like Tatiana. Tattie sounds incomplete to me.

A Tattie to me, is a Tattoo. Just sayin... Agreed with previous poster, maybe if it was a nn for something else, but not a full name itself

I think of potatoes. In Scotland, 'tatties and neeps' = potatoes and turnips.

I like it as a nickname for Tatiana only. I don't think Tattie has enough substance to make a complete first name. It's cute as a nickname though!

I just think of the adjective (dictionary definition follows):


- Worn and shabby; in poor condition: "the room was furnished in slightly tatty upholstered furniture".
- Of poor quality: "his gap-toothed smile and tatty haircut"

It's in (very) common parlance in the UK, Australia, and NZ, I would have thought the US too? Perhaps not. But not a nice name to saddle a child with, if I'm honest.

Yeah, tatters came to my mind first. (phia, in the US I think we would use "ratty." But both are pretty close to tatty.)

How about Thandie? I've always thought that was a cute name. Some people find it a little nickname-y, but I like it.

I like Tansy, which is a sweet and simple flower name but I do think Tattie = Tatty, ragged and worn.

I'm not a fan, sorry. It reminds me of tattered and torn, and I like Lottie, Lettie, Hattie, Etta, etc. more. Tatiana nn Tattie could be cute, though.

Good luck!
