Today at work I heard the name (and I'm not sure of the spelling) Tatie on a little girl (it was pronunced like Katie, but with a T)
Now, I'm not all that fond of it, but I could see it being used as a nickname for Tatiana or something, but as a name by itself? Yuck!

Hmm. I wonder if it was a nickname for Tatum?

I agree, though. Either way, it's not incredibly attractive.

I hope she finds a different nickname before she gets to middle school and the kids realize what it sounds like...

I like Tate....but Tatie? If it were a nickname for Tatiana I would think it wouldn't be pronounced like Katie.

Was it Tay-tee or Tat-ee?

I don't mind Tat-ee, but Tay-tee sounds weird.

Tay-tee

I had to listen really close to make sure I just wasn't mishearing Kay-tee, but nope, the dad said it several times, and it was definitely Tay-tee

well, pronunciation wise I can't really see getting Katie from Katherine, but eh, there nickname not mine.

And yeah, I don't mind Tate, but Tatie just sounds... silly. If it were short for Tatum, like the above poster said, I personally would prefer to go by Tate...

I have a cat named Tatie... it's not exactly a name i would pin on a person.
I named it Tatum but thats more of a people name than a cat name, even though I named him because he looked like someone i knew with the same name

Tatie is a really sweet nn for Tatiana, I like it!

Tatie is too hard to say in my opinion. I'm not a fan at all.

It might just be a childhood mispronounciation turned pet name by the parents. My SIL is named Tracy and still gets called Taytie by her relatives occasionally because that's how she said it when she was small.

I have a friend called Katie who sometimes get nicknamed Tatie, so maybe the girls real name is Katie?

To me it sounds like baby talk for Potato. "come on wickle bubsy, eat your taties!"
