WDYT of Taj ?

Hey all...

Dh doesn't like this name but I do!

What are your thoughts?

Taj for a boy?

Surname is Pronounced sale

Taj Cameron Sayle ?

IMHO its asking to be teased at school. Taj Mahal and all that.

I know a few little boys with this name and they are the coolest little kids! Really 'cool' name;)

I like it :)
Will you pronounce it Taj or Tie A little boy at school spells his name Taj but with a Tie pronunciation!
I like both, they sound like surfy names :)

I loved it too :D and DH hated it :doh: Maybe its a 'girl' thing to like it lol

I know a little boy names after Taj Burrows (the surfer).

hmmm yeah even though he's gorgeous, I'm still not a fan of the name. It sounds Indian and this little boy - well isn't, so it's kinda odd.

We have two Taj's (said Taj not Tie) and they are both lovely so the name has grown on me. Neither of them has ever been teased about the Taj Mahal or any other teasing either.

Like :)

I really like it :thumbsup: It's mine and DH's second fav boys name. it's a cool name and I don't think he would get teased. (sorry to disagree with you rumpledelf) but my aunty is a teachers aid and as she says, so many kids have "different" names these days that name teasing a really a thing of the past :)

I haven't heard a kid teased about their name by other children my whole teaching career TBH.

I like it :D It's funky. Cute for a little boy and sexy for a man ;)

It's our newphew's name and it's very suiting. He has blonde hair and blue eyes and is also the son of two top kite surfers. It's a great name :)

Love it :D was on the top of my list for boys names :) such a lil surfy name

My cousins name is Taj and the only person he's pointed out the Taj mahal thing was me :redface:

I think it's a cute name!

I grew up in a school where you got savagely teased for ANYTHING and names were right up the top of the list ... I think I've been scarred for life :(

I really like it too, only just the other day I was trying to convince DH to the virtues of this name- unfortunatly to no avail, but I think it is cute. I also have to agree that now that there are so many different names out there it is not such a source for teasing. I would say in my class of about 27 only about 2/3's have your traditional names, the rest are a little bit different or from other cultures, and I dont think I have had one incidence of teasing about names.

i personally don't like it! but hope you can convince hubby to like it too!

I like Taj!
i think of pro surfer Taj Burrows i bet no one is teasing him with all the earnings he's made!!

I like it :) it's got loads of attitude!!

... i don't mind it (could suit either boy or girl i think) ... but if your DH doesn't like it clearly it's a no go !!

Taj........I have heard it somewhere before but can't put my finger on it....was there a character on Neighbours with that name?

I kinda like it / kinda don't......for me it was one of those wait till you see bubs before sticking to it.

Names are bl**** hard hey?

We once spent an ENTIRE day trying to name our puppy 5 yrs ago. lol I have turned myself inside and out naming our baby girl and trying to get Dh to agree! I reakon though if we were naming a car.........

xxxx

... HC i don't know why put i felt i had to tell you i came across this name last night watching tv although i forget where it was i saw it ... anyway it's a short name like Taj the name i came aross is Dre'

... i know a bit different but thought i'd throw it your way ;)

I like it :)
DD's name is Tarja though so i could be a bit biased. She has never been teased a few people didnt like the name but since changed there minds

I really like it, but if hubby doesnt how about Tai (pronounced Tay) thats nice too. I wanted that name if we were having a boy :)

It is far more common than you think and certainly not going to be a victim of teasing. At the school I work at there are 6 boys called Taj. One of them is the son of a friend of mine and she hates that there are so many. It is a very popular name in the coastal regions, perhaps Taj Burrows has had some influence. I think if you love it, do it.
