vwebb's list "My weird Favorites" of 3 great name ideas: Tavish - Egypt!

My weird Favorites

These  are some of my favorite names no matter how weird!

This Scottish form of Thomas has a lot of charm, evoking images of men in plaid kilts playing the bagpipes. As for the 'ish' ending, it could either be seen as cozy and hamish, or a little wishy-washyish.

<br/><br/>Bottom line: If you're looking for a similar name with more worldly appeal than Travis or an offbeat namesake for an ancestral Thomas, you could do well to consider Tavish.

Place names like Memphis, Harlem, Cairo, Vienna, Milan, and Astoria are right on trend at the moment, and Egypt could fit in, thanks to its similarity in sound to the likes of Edith and Eden. Alicia Keys used the name for her son back in 2010, but before that, it was used as a stage name for three famous belly dancers.

 The name itself derives from Greek, via ancient Egyptian, and means "the house of the soul of Ptah", Ptah being the Egyptian God of creation and creativity. It entered the US Top 1000 in 2017 where it remained until 2022. It was given to around 230 girls in a recent year, while 60 boys also received the name.
