Hi, guys. As a cheap jerk with a free account, I can't make a poll, but! I was wondering, which of the following eight names do you like most or dislike least? I'm not looking for other T-name recommendations, just curious about these. Thanks in advance.

Sidenote: All on females, in case there was any question.

Talia
Tallis
Tamsin
Teagan
Tierney
Trilby
Tuesday
Tully

Talia is the only one I like.

[identity profile] th3-unicorn.livejournal.com 2008-01-15 10:18 pm (UTC)(link)
me too! I like it quite a lot.

[identity profile] farawaysong.livejournal.com 2008-01-15 09:59 pm (UTC)(link)
I love Tallis, Talia, and Tamsin (in that order).

Not a big fan of Tierney or Trilby.

I vote for Talia

I like Tamsin, it's my cousin's middle name.

I like Tamsin, Teagan and Tierney. Teagan was on our list for DD #2 but we nixed it because most people pronounced it "TEE-gehn" instead of "TAY-gehn" which is the sound I prefer.

Talia - love it
Tallis - it could be okay, but I'd never use it. It reminds me of 'talisman'
Tamsin - Makes me think of the Tasmanian Devil from Looney Tunes
Teagan - I prefer Tegan, but I don't really like either spelling. It's not horrible, though.
Tierney - It's a last name, totally, not any question about it.
Trilby - again, last name. It sounds awful as a first name.
Tuesday - days of the week are not names.
Tully - last name, but definitely better than Tierney or Trilby.

The only one I like is Talia. Tallis and Tegan/Teagan aren't HORRIBLE, but both look made-up and neither seems like it would work well on an adult.

I like Tamsin and would use it.
I like Talia and might use it.
I like Teagan and Tuesday but wouldn't use them.
Tallis and Tully are ok.
I don't like Tierney and Trilby (it is a hat IMO)

[identity profile] pollysweet.livejournal.com 2008-01-15 10:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Ooh, Tuesday! That is very interesting! The others I don't care for. I would like Tuesday better if there were a good nickname for it though.
Good luck!

I agree with everything, and must add:

Jasper Fforde ftw!

[identity profile] after-the-ashes.livejournal.com 2008-01-15 10:42 pm (UTC)(link)
I've always like Talia. I think the only other one that I like is Tuesday, although I'd never use it.

[identity profile] kimber-leigh.livejournal.com 2008-01-15 10:46 pm (UTC)(link)

Tamsin
Tierney
Tuesday

Talia, Tallis and Teagan are my favorites. I just recently saw Atonement and heard the last name Tallis and was also wondering what people would think of it as a first name on a girl. I actually really love it :) Teagan has always beena favorite of mine though and Talia is just so pretty!

[identity profile] alexandria-skye.livejournal.com 2008-01-16 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
at one point in the book, briony is called tallis by someone who thinks it's her first name :)

[identity profile] mykissmightkill.livejournal.com 2008-01-16 01:40 am (UTC)(link)
Well i am reading it now that ive seen the movie :) so ill be looking for it! hehe

[identity profile] alexandria-skye.livejournal.com 2008-01-16 01:43 am (UTC)(link)

[identity profile] mykissmightkill.livejournal.com 2008-01-16 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
thanks!!

[identity profile] fruhlings.livejournal.com 2008-01-16 05:06 am (UTC)(link)
the french soldier? I've only seen the movie, but I'm assuming that's what you're talking about. "Briony. Je m'appelle Briony." <3

[identity profile] alexandria-skye.livejournal.com 2008-01-16 05:49 am (UTC)(link)
i haven't seen the movie, but in the book it's a french soldier. that part was really sad... :/

[identity profile] heure-actuelle.livejournal.com 2008-01-15 11:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Talia is in my top favorite names.

i'm not crazy about the others, but Teagan is alright.

[identity profile] depeche810.livejournal.com 2008-01-15 11:16 pm (UTC)(link)
I think Talia is pretty.

I also like Tamsin but I can only picture it on a character in a story or video game.

[identity profile] freezemyazaleas.livejournal.com 2008-01-15 11:34 pm (UTC)(link)
I love Teagan (prefer it spelled Tegan but the other way is good too) and I like Tierney.

[identity profile] happysaid.livejournal.com 2008-01-15 11:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Talia.

[identity profile] daydream11.livejournal.com 2008-01-16 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
Tuesday is the only one I truly like, though Talia (prn. TAH-leah) and Teagan are okay.

[identity profile] fruhlings.livejournal.com 2008-01-16 03:24 am (UTC)(link)
tallis reminds me of Atonement. :D
I like Teagan.
I had a great-uncle named Tierney.

[identity profile] omgzits--tam.livejournal.com 2008-01-16 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
I think Tamsin is the best name there.
Talia's pretty nice too.

[identity profile] lookingatastar.livejournal.com 2008-01-16 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
I love love Teagan.

[identity profile] satunian.livejournal.com 2008-01-16 05:24 am (UTC)(link)
There's also Tiana, Trista, Tatiana/Tania... I like those.

I also love Talia, and Tierney is alright too

[identity profile] shortbutfast.livejournal.com 2008-01-16 06:05 am (UTC)(link)
Talia.. its ok
Tallis.. dont like
Tamsin.. makes me think of jasmine and tasmanian devils
Teagan.. like reagan? no way
Tierney.. odd but nice
Trilby.. dont like
Tuesday.. very cute
Tully.. no

[identity profile] monalyssasmile.livejournal.com 2008-01-16 06:19 am (UTC)(link)
I like Tuesday and Tierney

[identity profile] chucklincanuck.livejournal.com 2008-01-16 11:54 am (UTC)(link)
Talia and Teagan are nice. Never heard of Tamsin before, but it doesn't sound like a first name!

[identity profile] 0o-faerie.livejournal.com 2008-01-16 07:16 pm (UTC)(link)
I like Tamsin a lot, and Talia is alright. Teagan is growing on me. Tuesday sounds nice...but I wouldn't use it myself. I see it more as a guilty pleasure kind of name.
I hate Trilby, a lot. Mainly because I'm Dutch, and the Dutch word for 'to shake/shiver' is 'trillen'. Pffsht,

[identity profile] memorymaze.livejournal.com 2008-01-16 08:28 pm (UTC)(link)
I like Talia and Tegan, but without the first a.

All the others are no where near my taste, but the only ones I think are horrible are the last three.

[identity profile] dustkitty.livejournal.com 2008-01-16 11:34 pm (UTC)(link)
I really like Talia, Tamsin, and Teagan. I think Tamsin is the most feminine (to me), closely followed by Talia. Teagan is more masculine (especially since it's an either-or), but I like it best.

Tallis, Tierney, and Tuesday are acceptable to me, though I wouldn't want to use them myself; Tallis is sort of interesting/unusual to me.

I really don't care for Trilby or Tully. They just sound blah to me.

I like Teagan but I LOVE Tuesday!
