hello there! i found someone in mylot who has the same nickname with me, it was a unique nickname that's why it was interesting that we both had it. we talked about it and asked each other about where our nicknames came from. the nickname we both had was "tatz" or "tats" my father named me TAtiana because he couldn't find a girl's name version of christian. of course he didn't name me christiana! I think my dad thought christine is very common already. So he took the "tian" from christian and looked for a girl's name with "tian" in it. HE FOUND TA"TIAN"A, yes! it's a russian name! people i meet sometimes think i'm half russian half chinese because of my whole name. but I'm chinese and filipino. here is a trivia. I always say that my dad named me after the daughter of the last emperor or scire of russia. the romanovs. princess tatiana is the sister of princess anastacia which inspired the cartoon anastacia :) how about you? tell me! i think this is very interesting! ask you parents!

My mother always said she named me after a friend of hers, but I never did hear her talk about that friend or had never met her or seen a photo of her, always made me wonder....

hi Tatiana, It is a very interesting discussion you've started. My name is Srikanth, it is one of the many names of Hindu God Lord Vishnu. My elder brother was named Srivatsava, so parents wanted a similar name for me. Also, when i was a born, there used to be dynamic cricketer named Kris Srikanth.
