When I first heard of the Tate gallery, I thought the name actually sounded nice and could be a real name for a person. It turns out it is a real name, and I think it sounds great on both boys and girls. I also like this name because of the singer Tate McRae.

You know what's weird? This is probably a stretch, but as soon as I heard the name years ago, I thought it was a short form of Tatum. I was surprised to see it as a first name.
Even if it didn't come from Tatum, it could still be a proper diminutive.

I’m a girl born in the 90s with the name Taite. (Pronounced same as Tate) I’ve always loved my name and the meaning behind it. I think it makes me unique and the meaning fits my personality. Also my friends grew up calling me Taiters which I always found kinda sweet. Nowadays, people always call me just Taite. I’ve done very well and will be attending grad school this fall. I don’t feel that having a unique name has inhibited me in any form. My parents did give me a common 90s female middle name in the event I didn’t like my first name and always told me I could change it. :)

I have a friend whose son is named Tate... My two year old can't say that, she calls him something that sounds like TAINT. She has ruined the name for me. All I can imagine is a group of mean kids calling him that.

I personally really like this name in all of its simplicity. It sounds strong, but also wholesome, and while some view it as a childish name, I on the contrary think it would age well. It's not an extremely popular name, but it sounds like it could be.

My sister's name has the same pronunciation but it is spelt Tayte. So my opinion is that Tate (Or Tayte) could be used as a girls or a boys name.

Using Tate is like you've given up or something. "Tate?" I ask. "That's all they could come up with?"
It sounds dull, stupid, rather too much like taint and like there was absolutely no effort put into the naming process.

Despite sounding like Kate and Tatum, this name sounds quite masculine to me. I think this name is better as a surname, quite frankly. It's quite plain and minimalist, and it makes me think of little boys and tomboyish girls for some reason, not adults.

Such a great name. Boys names sound so great when expressed in one syllable. Tate is strong, unmistakable and can be envisioned as the artist of a finger painting or the name on an M. D.'s diploma. Just perfect. When we decided to have children, this was hands down going to be our son's name. Three daughters later there is still no Tate.
People say that it reminds them of "tater-tots". So, ask any seven year old "What's a tater-tot?", if they know, chances are they won't be deciding your young Tate's future while reviewing his application to Harvard.

As I understand it from my reference books (A Dictionary of English Surnames by Reaney & Wilson, for instance) technically it is the surname Tait that goes back to the Old Norse word for "cheerful", while Tate goes back to an Old English name, Tata, the original meaning of which is unknown. Since Tait and Tate are pronounced identically, I'm sure over the centuries there has been some confusion in spelling and some "Tate" families may originally have had medieval ancestors with the Old Norse name. But the origin does seem to be a bit more complicated that just "Old Norse" for "cheerful". [noted -ed]

I love this name. It's simple but not too common. I want to name my 2nd son this. My first is named Marlow which also comes from a surname and I think they sound good together. Both strong English names. I just hope he doesn't get called po-Tate-o!
