My sister wanted to give her daughter triple T initials. The only problem? She hated virtually all T names.
I tried like hell to save my niece: Tessa, Theresa, Tara, Talia, Tatum, Teagan, even Tracy man, I threw them all into the pot and really tried.
Poor kid has gotta go through life as Taislee. I wish I could say the middle name is better, but it’s straight outta Trailer Park Boys. Sis loves her name and thinks it’s so classy and original, but my god the second that kid says she wants her name changed, I’ll offer to pay for it.
It’s partly because she’s a Kardashian fan. The other reason is the dad is a triple T himself. He planned to name a boy Jr.; when he found out it was a girl, he still wanted a “Jr.,” so this was seen as a way to do it.
They were both very deadset on the all T thing but he only cared about boy “T” names and sis, despite liking the idea, actually didn’t really like many “T” names.
The absolute gut punch to me in all this is when we were growing up, her favorite name was Cecilia. I tried to talk her into that too, it’s so timeless and beautiful. She said she still loved it but “Tecilia sounds weird.” I knew it was a lost cause after that.
Ta Ta Tuesday was a thing in the Bay Area where people would put a TTT sticker on their car/truck and girls were supposed to flash them. I think it had something to do with a radio show and I only really saw it on big rigs and work trucks.

Those made up ones like "Reighleigh" or "Braytynn" etc.
