I love Tatum but only pronounced like Tay-tum not TA-tum as BTN suggests - I've never heard it the way its listed here and it seems so manly & awkward.

I think of Tater Tots. Or Tatum O'Neal-used to love her as a kid, now she's very weird!

It is totally not like my usual style, but this is one of those cases... I like Tatum for a girl, although I do find it tomboyish, and not namey... and I just love Tate for a boy.

It's boyish and ugly to me, sorry.

I always want to say TAY-tum. TA-tum just sounds wrong to me, for some reason :-/

It's OK, but I prefer just Tate.

As far as I know it is pronounced Tay-tum. Thats how Tatum O'Neil says it. I like it.

In that case, the pron. on BtN is probably just a mistake/typo :-) I do like Tatum pr'd TAY-tum - it's got a cool ring to it.

I don't know if BtN is wrong or not, I'm only going by Tatum O'Neil who is to say her way is the right way? Although I hope it is since I like the Tay-tum pronounciation a lot better.

I don't like. I have never liked it. It doesn't sound like a name to me somehow...

It's not my style. It isn't feminine.

I've always loved it.

It's okay, not really my style, but it doesn't look too ridiculous or anything. Tate could be a NN.
