    Cool What do you think of this name..

    Hehehehee

    DH and I are always tossing out names cos we know the pressure is on for a wicked name for #3.

    All my other names I had previously thought of don't go with the other kids names - they don't flow together, so I can't use them.

    We were listening to Serj's album today and I shot out (just as a joke) - "hey, how about Tankian for a boys name"

    DH LIKES IT.

    Um.. help? LOL.... I don't mind it either, but totally think that if the kid turns out like me and is FAT - the "Tank" part of his name is going to be quite cruel.. lol

    Hun, if kids can't poke fun at your name they just find something else to poke fun at. I'm not sure how you pronounce it? Is it Tank-e-an or Tan-ki-an....

    I like it! It's a very strong name (no pun intended) which will carry on well into 'manhood'.

    Not sure. I fell in love with A & M's names the second I saw them.
    This one...I don't hate it, but its not my fave either iykwim.
    I do think Tank would be cool for a nick name though! (Can't be worse than a mate of mine, Gut)

    I don't really love it. I think it is the 'tank' part I don't like as it doesn't seem to fit having a second syllable. Also the 'ian' part sounds like it is a race (eg. the tank people). What about something like Tarkine?

    I love it!!!! If DH approves we might use it for our next

    I'd still call him Tank-Ian. Hey what about Tank as first name??
