yes, i think the bullying would be a bit much.

I love it. The first three letters don't bother me at all, since they're not pronounced at all like the word.

I like it.

It takes imagination to get the first three letters out of the name, especially because they're not pronounced that way. I'd never use it, but I wouldn't mind seeing it on a little girl. If that's all your worried about, then don't. If it was pronounced ti-TAN-ya, it might be a situation to consider, but it's not.

I didn't think of the tit thing, but I find the name over-the-top and too lofty for modern use. It reminds me more of Titanium.

It would be a huge cross to bear.

It's a GP of mine (along with Oberon). I'd love to see it on someone else's kid, but I'd have to wonder about Titanic jokes somewhere in the kid's future. Ignoring that, I think it's really pretty, even though it does remind me of a ship. =)

I love Shakesperean names, but, while Titania does have its charm, I don't think it's useable. It reminds me of "titanium".

For me, it's not the "tit" part but the Titanic association that makes it problematic... as well as the fact that it's just a bit too over-the-top for my personal tastes (although lovely and distinguished in theory!)

A beast of a name and I mean that in the best of ways. The Tit- doesn't bother me but it is reminiscent of titanium and titanic and all around makes me think of a warship or a cannon or something to that effect. Not ugly by any means but if I had to choose artilery versus baby I probably wouldn't assign it to a baby, know what I mean?

For the sake of name appreciation without the potential of practical usage I'd be all for it. I'm sure you could make some great combos with it. :-)

I wou;d never use it but would consider using Tatiana.
I knew a Tita at college.

I love Titania. It's such an elegant, majestic, amazingly beautiful name. The "Tit" part doesn't bother me at all.

I like it but, yeah, the "tit" bugs me.

When I first saw this name, I pronounced it like the 'i' in "tit" and the "-tania" like the name Tonya -- in other words, I pronounced it "tit-tonya". Though I would never use it, I like this pronunciation as well at "tye-tane-ee-ah".

I'm like you, I love the name but would never use it because of the `tit` sound in it, and I could just imagine schoolboys having a great tease with a child Titania

I prefer Tatjana

It's okay but I can't picture it on an actual person. What about Tatiana?

You said exactly what I would have said! I do love Tatiana.
