Tiano. What do you think?
Kind of hard to say. I’m not sold on it without context. Is it for a boy or a girl? Is it the name of a relative or close friend, or is it a name you’ve created? Are you looking to contrast a different ethnic-sounding first name to your last name?
Drat at not being able to edit - also, what’s the potential for the child getting grief for having a name that looks like piano?
Are you sure you want to give them a name they’ll spend the rest of their life explaining how to pronounce/spell? :dubious:
I think this is probably one of the worst places to ask an opinion on this.
Honestly, it sounds like a new mid-size sedan from Nissan.
As noctilucent asked, is there any special context that it would fit into?
Is it said Tee-anno, rhyming with piano, or Tee-ahhno, rhyming with, er, the way pretentious people might say piano 
Maybe you should just go with Keanu. Or Tino. Isn’t Tino an Italian name?
tino tino bambino bambino banana fanna fo feeno…
Just go with Chuck, it’s easier.
It’s not bad, as unusual names go. I’ve only seen “Tiano” as a last name, though. Does it have any special meaning for you, or do you just like the way it sounds?
It’s awful, don’t do it. There are plenty of perfectly nice real names to choose from, don’t just make up something because you like how it sounds.
Looks like a piano?!
I took the last part of the name Christiano- like Christiano Ronaldo. The name does not rhyme with piano.
Where is a good place?
I spelt Cristiano Ronaldo’s name incorrectly.His name is actually Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro.
You say “next baby.” What are the names of the other children? Names of siblings ought not sound strange together. Apple and Moses don’t go very well together except thematically. Ditto on Hazel, Phineas, and Henry as sibling names.
What does it rhyme with?
And the other kids’ names? You don’t want a bunch of kids with 3-syllable names.
I disagree on the Hazel, Phinneaus and Henry. All individual and old time-y.
Apple and Moses …yeeech. On both.
Boy–Othar or Beef
A Girl–Photosynthesis or Morticia
His name is Darcy.
There was a thread about me naming him Darcy
All old-fashioned, true, but vastly different degrees of oldness. Phinneaus is an Old Testament name, Hazel is derived from Old English, and Henry didn’t appear in English until the Norman conquest.
Nimrod and Edmund are both old-fashioned too, but they don’t go together either.
Who knows, but most people here believe that non-traditional or oddly spelled names will set a kid up for a lifetime of heartache and frustration.
