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'.

I like it, but dont like the idea of tank for short... Id shorten it to Ki or Kian :)

We pronounce it (and hope we are right!) as Tank-ee-an

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 was going to say the same, tarquin?

We googled for the pronounciation:

Tonk-e-yon

So uh no.. not a fan... lol

I suggested we take the kian bit and put with the other cool singer - reznor - and have rezkian... LOL

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

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

Either way its pronounced, I still dont like it.( I do however like your other kids names :) )
And shortening it to Tank is not a good association to me.
I think you`ll both come up with a better name than this.

I don't think it was seriously on the cards as being used.

Plus - we both think this one is a girl ;)

Sorry hun, I don't like it. Girls names ooohh so much more fun! We still haven't decided lol.

Rezkian - what about Rez-E-kian. With same emphasis like Ezekiel. Hmmm. Bit of both. For a girl Rezekiah?
On the radio they say Tank-i-an. No Tonk. At all. I feel duped.

Snuggly - yeah we've heard it pronounced the same way on JJJ. And he's never corrected them in interviews?

and pmsl at your other suggestions... hehe...

Not so keen on that one Arimeh, although I must say that I am fond of your other kids names - especially Mehkelti.

I would be trying to modify it somehow to get the word 'tank' out of there coz it just stands out too much to me - maybe something like Tashian...? Coz your other kids names don't have any literal words in there - iykwim?

Just a thought!

What about Taidge? or Taidgh? That's nice for a boy and different..... is that unusual enough for ya? hehe

That would go nicely with the other names your kids have.

hmm not sure about that one.

when i read it, the first thing i thought of was the name Tarkyn.. i know a tarkyn, and i quite like it. he gets Tarks for short.

we used to have a friend nicknamed Tank.. so to me that just sounds like a regular name!

Limeslice ... LOL Tarquin is my Mum's beloved dogs name (though i have to admit i actually like it) ;) ... she always wanted a son so she has named all her past & present pets her fav boy's names, eg she has had Micheal & Tristan ... OMG, i better get off this track ... :rolleyes: ... um, Mel ... i really like Rezkian :dance:

... I got the feeling you & DH are after a name associated with a musician/lyrics or something along those lines ?? (maybe i'm wrong) ... When i named my DD's middle name Ariane i must admit it did have a hint of the thought of Aria as in the music awards !!
