===Given names===
Tameï given names are of four main origins: native Tameï ones, French names, Islamic names, and Communist names. Especially the latter category has been expanding massively throughout the 20th century and, despite the end of the communist regime in the Tameï Islands, Communist names are still popular for newborns. The syncretism of sources has led Tameïs to have names which may sound weird in other parts of the world, such as ''Abdullenin'' or children having ''Iosif Stalin'' as middle names.<br/>
Tameïs usually have from one to four names; ''Grâce'' (written as in French but pronounced [guˈɹas]) is particularly common both for boys and girls, and it is estimated that about half of all Tameïs have it as a second name.
Common names include:
* Boys' names: ''Abdulkommunizumu'', ''Abdullenin'', ''Abdulmarx'', ''Abdulstalin'', ''Bīnʌ'' (< Bénoit), ''Chlʌǥī′ey'', ''Furâsʌ'' (< François), ''Grâce'', ''Heykä'', ''Ītīn'' (< Étienne) ''Komsomoletsu'', ''Lelyä'' (< Lilian), ''Līley'', ''Lui'' (< Louis) ''P′alkey'', ''Soviet'', ''(Iosif) Stalin'', ''Tsetun'', ''ᕕ′īkaney''
* Girls' names: ''Akīnä'', ''Amatulkommunizumu'', ''Amatullenin'', ''Amatulmarx'', ''Amatulstalin'', ''Chlūī'' (< Chloë), ''Furâsʌz(ī)'' (< Françoise), ''Grâce'', ''Lelyan(ī)'' (< Liliane), ''Mowten(ī)'' (< Martine)
