This name is actually really nice.But, must I say a warning. My old history teacher's name was Tatiana, and kids tortured her with the “bust down thotiana” meme things. So uh, just be aware of that.
My mom wanted to name me this name and I'm kinda glad she didn't.

Whenever I think of the name Tatiana, I think of snow falling on the ground in winter, or a sunny meadow of flowers. I think this is a very beautiful and underrated name. Also, it's just an adorable name for a little girl to have.
SO beautiful! Sounds like a princess with black hair and fair skin from some exotic place. I LOVE this name! This name originates not from Russia as most assume but from a Roman emperor Tatius. It is historically linked and beautiful.
This is a pretty name, I also love the French version which is Tatienne. Some nicknames would be Tat, Tiana, Tati, Ana, but it's so refreshing and easy to pronounce so I would probably just use Tatiana.

Very pretty. The meme didn’t ruin this name for me.
I like my name, it fits my personality. I love all of the amazing nicknames my friends give me like Tati Tanya Tanki but the only nickname I don't like it Thotiana that is so overrated and dumb but anyway I'm very happy that my mom gave me this name.
As someone with this name, people rarely reference "bust down Thotiana". If anything, I'm the one to make fun of my own name the most often. It doesn't fit the English world though. The way a name is pronounced can change its "feel" immensely, and anglophones do not make Tatiana sound like a pleasing name, both to me and the people who think it fits a "bratty/spoiled girl".
Tatiana, while very popular in Russia, is practically unheard of in the UK, which is a shame, since Tatiana is a delicate, balletic name that carries a touch of the exotic. It sounds much nicer than other Russian names such as Natasha or Sasha, which are more common.

SUPER pretty, lovely, unique, and just plain WONDERFUL!
Tatiana is such a stunning name as a whole, but I know people will shorten it down to Taty or Tat and in England (London) that is slang for worn, shabby, old & dirty :/ and where I live, Tiana and Tia are very over used. It is still a beautiful name.
I haven't met a Tatiana, but Tiara, Tiana, Talia, similar sounding names. Very beautiful Russian name. I love all Russian names usually. It is strong yet pretty. Any bearer is lucky to have this beautiful name. A nickname is Tia, Tatia, Tiana, Ana. This is perfect for any girl or woman.
I've always loved this name, but I dislike this Anglicized spelling. I assumed the name was pronounced Ta-ti-ANN-a when I first encountered it, not Taht-YAHN-ah, because of the improperly transliterated spelling.
Looks like I'm the minority, but I dislike this name. It'd be fine in Russia, but in English, it often gets pronounced "tah-tee-AH-nah", which sounds horribly tacky and low-class. And am I the only one here who sees a few dirty nicknames at the girl's expense?
I thoroughly dislike this name. It sounds annoying, and it sounds like the name of an obnoxious idiot. It's not pretty at all, the Tat- beginning make it worse. Tiana would be better.
I remember watching a movie and I had the subtitles on. I loved the name of a character which was Tatiana but they pronounced it Tuh-Tah-Nee-Ah (the "uh" in "tuh" is short and "Nee-Ah" are connected and smooth). I was very confused but I liked the way they pronounced it but preferred the original spelling. I know the two can't work together.
I love this name! It is beautiful, feminine, and slightly exotic. It is a classic and traditional Slavic name-- though its use has spread to many other languages and cultures, as well. Personally, I prefer the English "tah-tee-ah-nah" pronunciation to the Slavic "tah-t'yah-nah" pronunciation because it sounds softer. The name has many literary connections-- for example, one of the main characters in Pushkin's Eugene Onegin is named Tatiana. A possible nickname is "Tanya."

This name is ugly. I don't like how you keep saying Ta. It's annoying.
My name is Tatiana, and I like it. I've always pronounced it ta-ti-AHN-uh, but I personally prefer the eastern European pronunciation. I always get tons of compliments on it being such a pretty name, and although people mispronounced it pretty frequently when I was young, that's pretty much stopped now. So there's no need to be worried about having a child who can't say their name correctly or who will get teased.

I've lost my love for this name, don't know why. I don't like for English-speakers to use this name; it's foreign and exotic on Russians/Romanians/Italians/etc., but just doesn't have that same effect on Americans.

I like this name so much because of how enjoyable it is to say.
This is my joint favourite girl's name and one of the four names I have picked out for any future children I might have. It's SO beautiful, I adore this name.
I can definitely see why people around the world would name their daughters this name, it's really pretty. However, with a Canadian accent (specifically Ontario) it doesn't really roll off the tongue right, I'm sure there are Canadians named Tatiana, but, it just doesn't sound natural. Does that make sense? Haha. No offense intended of course.
This is my best friend's name. She spells it Tathiana which to me looks way better. She also goes by Taty. Of course the name sounds more beautiful in Spanish.

I really like this name because it sounds like titanium (kind of) which has a connection to me, and it's really pretty. For a Confirmation name, I would like either this or Rose.
I love the name Tatiana! I used it for my confirmation name, for the saint Tatiana. She was born on the same day as me! I am hoping that when I have a child of my own my husband will love the name as much as me! And if not oh well! Ha ha, I'll name her that anyways! =]
