my nephew
My brother's third son was born last night. I had posted a week or so ago asking for guesses to go with his son's Jaden Timothy & Bryce Lewis.They named him Tait Charles. What do you think of Tait Charles and what do you think of Jaden, Bryce & Tait as brothers?Personally, I'm thrilled about the name Tait, as I actually like it! I have no appreciation for the other two boys' names, so I was pleasantly surprised!Three boys nappin', one mama namenerdin'

Congrats on the new nephew! I'd like Tate Charles much, much better, that's for sure. Tait reminds me of bait or taint.Funny, I prefer all of the mns to the fns. Timothy, Lewis and Charles would have made a nice sibset. :-)

Ya'll have so many boys in your family, don't you? That must be such fun.I like Timothy and Bryce, and I like Tait Charles, though I would rather see Tate. Tait makes me think of "taint."

I don't particularly like Tait as a name. Tate would have been nicer, but Tait Charles is a good combo. Tate Charles would have been lovely.Jaden, Bryce and Tait make a nice sibset. Also like how they've been given them more traditional middle names.

I at first misread "Tait" as "taint" and that is definitely not a good association.

I dislike all of the names, except Timothy.

Yeah, most of them are not my cup of tea either. But Timothy, Lewis and Charles are honouring. So that helps - for me at least.

I like Tate, but Tait looks too much like taint. Which is a very unfortunate...um...bodily area slang word to be called. Not that the real definition of taint would be a positive association by any means.

I'm guessing they chose that spelling because my brother has always been a fan of the music artist Michael Tait. Not sure though.

The spelling of Tait is completely throwing me off. Had it been spelled Tate, I think it would've fit in well with Jaden and Bryce. Tait looks like an attempt to be unique, which doesn't match Jaden and Bryce. It looks unattractive spelled that way - it actually doesn't even look like a name to me, if I'm being completely honest. I also think Tate/Tait sounds quite feminine, but that's just me.

I'm guessing they chose the spelling Tait because my brother has always been a fan of the music artist Michael Tait. Nor sure though.I caught myself wondering today if Tate could be used on a girl... I do like it on a boy though.

I like it! I prefer Tate, but Tait Charles is a good name. I think they go well together as brothers.

I agree that the brothers seem to go very well together.

I prefer Tate to Tait, as the latter reminds me of fishing bait a little too much. Still, that's not a big deal (I love fishing, after all!). Tait Charles is rather handsome, a nice choice, though a part of me does wonder how well Tait will age (which is why I'd be a little hesitant to use Tate myself). Overall, though, I think it's far from a bad name. I also think T.C. would make a cute nn. Congrats on the third nephew!

I imagine it will age about as well as Jaden. :) Oh well. T.C. is cute.

Haha, it'll age better than Jaden, if you ask me. I don't know, maybe that's just me; I think I'm just overly worried about the aging thing, but I know that it works very well for others, and I imagine it'll work just fine for your little nephew. :)

I hate Jaden with the white hot intensity of a thousand suns. I also dislike Timothy.Bryce is okay. I don't like Lewis, but it's a middle name, so no big deal.I really dislike Tait. That's just not an attractive sound at all for a first name. I always associate Charles with Manson, so it's creepy to me, but I know that's an uncommon reaction, and myriad men other than Manson have borne the name and it's a classic. So it's not like I'm going to say, "OMG how could you use Charles?"I guess the names go together okay, but I'm not a fan of the sibset overall.

A millions suns worth of hate over here. I hear ya.Timothy, Lewis, and Charles are all honouring, does that help with the dislikes?
vote up1
Yes, it does.

Is Tait just a different spelling of Tate? I think Jaden, Bryce and Tait sounds good, but the only two names I like are Jaden and Lewis. I think Tait/Tate could grow on me though, but I must say I'm not a fan of the Tait spelling..Congratulations to the whole family though :)

Yes, to the spelling question. I'm guessing they chose that spelling because my brother has always been a fan of Michael Tait. Thanks.
