- Comments and insights on the name Tatum: | Edit
I LOVE this name. It has a wonderful sound and meaning.
My daughter's name is Tatum, and she has certainly lived up to the meaning (cheerful); she never stops smiling.
Sorry to say, but it reminds me too much of a certain part of the male genitals.
This is just an odd name to me...

This old English surname made a direct leap to girl's first name thanks to the example of actress Tatum O'Neal. Its sound is quite boyish, but since it never was a boy's name the effect is more more merry than masculine.
