Tourmaline

Twilight

A rare virtue-style name, associated with determination and dedication to a particular cause or goal, with having a strong grip, and with an enduring existence. This could be spun positively and associated with hard work and focus, but there may also be an undertone of negativity to the word name, a degree of being too dedicated to one goal or of something, such as a myth, enduring for just too long. 
 
Similar in sound to Felicity and in meaning to Constance, it could make for an interesting middle name.

Tenacity

Triolet

An object thought to have magic powers and to bring good luck.

Talisman

Trill

A tuya is a type of distinctive, flat-topped, steep-sided volcano formed when lava erupts through a thick glacier or ice sheet. The generic name comes from Tuya Butte in British Columbia, Canada, possibly derived from an indigenous Tahltan word.

Tuya would fit in perfectly with the likes of Maya, Kaya and Tula.

The name of the capital city of Kansas and the county seat of Shawnee County, which is thought to come from a Kansa word meaning "good place to grow potatoes".

Talwyn is a contemporary Cornish word name that can be pronounced with the emphasis on either syllable. With its fashionable -wyn ending, Talwyn could easily be used on an American-born baby.

Talwyn

Borne by the esteemed Japanese architect Tadao Ando.

Tadao

A sleek yet friendly name of Finnish and Estonian origin, Talvi is familiar in Finland, Estonia, and Sweden, but rare in English speaking countries. It comes from the Finnish talvi or Estonian talv, meaning "winter", making this an unexpected name to celebrate the colder seasons, to honor someone born in the winter months, or to give to a Christmas baby.
 
Also appearing as Talvikki in Finland, Talvi made its first entrance to the US stats in 2024 when it was given to six girls.

Talvi

An ancient Germanic name belonging to an 8th century duke of Bavaria, as well as to a modern-day prince of Bulgaria. It is a diminutive form from Tasso, which probably derives from the Germanic name Taginbert, a cognate of Dagobert.

Tiabeanie Mariabeanie de la Rochambeau Grunkwitz is better known as Princess Bean on the Netflix animated series Disenchantment. Six sets of parents were inspired to use her name for their daughter in 2022, when Tiabeanie debuted on the American charts.
 
Nickname possibility Beanie calls to mind actress Beanie Feldstein.

Tiabeanie

A French-ified smoosh of Vietnamese Thuy and Lan, borne by French model Thylane Blondeau.

Thylane

Currently in the Norwegian Top 100, Tomine is a feminine form of the classic Tomas. Gentle yet tough, it was first used in Norway in the 18th-century. 
 
Sharing the Aramaic meaning of the Biblical name, "twin", Tomine saw a spike of popularity in the 1880s, remained familiar until the 1940s, then fell out of favor until the 90s. It has been in and out of the Norwegian Top 100 since 2010, with actress and singers Tomine Harket and Tomine Mikkeline and footballers Tomine Svendheim and Tomine Enger perhaps keeping it in the public eye.
 
Pronounced as to-MEE-neh, Thomasine and Tomina are rarer variations.

Tomine

Tornado is a tempestuous weather name for parents who like to live dangerously. The best-known Tornado is a female tennis player whose sister is named Hurricane, but this wild name is decidedly gender-neutral. 

Tornado

We count Techno among the <a href="https://nameberry.com/list/363/crazy-celebrity-baby-names">weird celebrity baby names</a>, and yet we have to admit that it's the perfect choice for a child of Grimes and Elon Musk.
 
In musical terms, techno is a style of electronic dance music that emerged in the 1980s. While Grimes' music isn't specifically techno, her sound is influenced by the style. Of course, techno is also the root of the word technology, in which Musk is an industry leader. 
 
Techno won't grace many birth certificates beyond that of Baby Musk — his nickname, Tau, is more approachable.

Techno
