BOY BOY BOY! Tatum will never be a girls name. Some boy names can sound good on a girl, but Tatum is not one of them! I really dislike this name, but prefer it on a boy over a girl.

Khailor is a bit strange, but to be honest, I dislike Tatum so much that I’d vote for Khailor.

I know 2 girls named Tatum but
Khailor Tatum sounds great for a boy!

Kaylor sounds like a girl name and worse it sounds like Killer. Tatum is all boy.

It may depend on where you’re from. I’m Australian, and here I’ve only heard of girls with this name. I’ve come across a couple of boys named Tate though.
Sorry, not a fan of Khailor.

When I said that I was thinking of the name Khailor- really that’s what my husband is thinking of, and won’t give up. I really like the names Tatum Manning and Tataum Marshall!

best of luck to you !

I think I’m going to switch it to Marshall Tatum- I have never met a Marshall and I think it’s very handsom

My son’s name is Tatum Cole. Tatum is not a girls name!!

I really think Tatum is not a great choice for a boy. I always liked the name Christopher for a boy name! My sisters name is Tatum, and she is very offended by the comments that said it is a "all boy" name.

Tatum is a excellent choice for a girl. It is a all girl name! I have never met a boy named Tatum. My sister hasn’t either.

I named my son Tatum James because it is actually derived from the name Tate which is a BOY name. The only reason it became a popular girls name is because someone named a female actor a boy name.

My sons name is Taitum James. I love Taitum as a boys name!

My name is tatum and i’m a girl.I like my name for what it is,and it’s not fair that you people are declaring it ONLY a dude’s name.Although I’ve been offended I know that these are only your opinions.I think tatum is a beutiful,feminine name!!:)

my name is tatum and i find it offensive that people think it doesn’t sound feminine enough to be a girls name. i am a girl aha. it’s a unisex name and if you prefer it as a boys name, thats your opinion. but i wouldn’t say its a bad name for a girl. and the good thing about being named tatum is that it isn’t common. it’s more common as a girls name than it is a boys name and since people are saying "tatum will never be a girls name." i find it funny since a lot of people commenting are girls who have the name tatum. :) also, i have never met a boy named tatum. everytime i hear of someone named tatum, they turn out to be a girl.

I named my son Tatum Dior and I absolutely love the name although I thought I was a boy name so far all I heard was females with the name either way I love that name.

My son is Tatum Quinn. It never really crossed my mind as a girls name because everyone calls him "baby tate" and tate is definitely not a girl’s name. I also never thought Quinn could be a girls name Bc I only ever knew boys that were names Quinn but apparently it is a unisex name as well. I think Tatum is masculin.

The fact that there ARE boys and girls named Tatum makes it a unisex name. I am a girl called Tatum Scarlett Velvet (all from films) and I DO NOT have a boys name rather a name that can be used by both genders.

My son’s name is Tatum and he is named after his great grandfather. I think it was originally a boy’s name.

My name is tatum so I prefer it as a girl name
posted by Tatum :: 10 years ago | report
Taitum is my sons name. I think it can suit either sex :)

I’m currently pregnant, expecting in Septmeber 2015.
If I’m having a BOY im most definitely naming him Tate.
I most likely will drop the "um" just because it sounds a bit tacky to me.. But I LOVE Tate for a boy :) <3

I named my daughter Tatum. I’ve never heard Tatum for a boy, unless it was their last name. I always think of the actress Tatum O’Neal and I fell in love with the name when I was watching a movie and a female character’s name was Tatum. I feel that Tatum sounds too soft for a boy.

My name is Tatum and my sister’s friend is named Tatum (she is a girl) So I prefer it as a girl’s name but I guess it would work as a boys name too. Please stop saying it’s a bad name for a girl because it kinda hurts my feelings

Tatum is proper for either gender, but I prefer it for a boy. In my opinion, when written it looks masculine. Tate’s a strong masculine nickname. Everyone’s entitled to their opinion.

Tatum makes a cute name for both, I love the name khailor I like the different spelling
posted by love that different name :: 9 years ago | report
The meaning of Tatum is Joyful, Full of Spirit, Cheerful. There is no distinct sex listed so it’s gender neutral. That being said, I don’t find it masculine at all and prefer it as feminine, although I may be bias sense that is what I named my daughter 16 years ago. :)

My name is Tatum Dawn and I love my name so much. I am a 17 y/o girl and I get many many compliments of it here in TX since it’s on the country side of names

My grandson was born 2 weeks ago and his name is Tatum Ezekiel...I think it is becoming more popular as a boys name than 20 years ago. I love it for girl or boy. Perhaps Channing Tatum has made the name more popular haha

My name's tatum, I'm a girl tbh yea, it's a unisex name but if my name wasn't tatum I'd think of it more of a girl name!
posted by Tatum :: 8 years ago | report
I'm a boy, and my name is Tatum, but I'm often called Tate. Either way, I think Tatum can suit either gender, but it's most common with girls.

Tatum is a beautiful name. I have met two people with the name of Tatum and they were both girls.I think that overall Tatum sound feminine, but it could still be a boys name.
