Where does this girl's name come from? Is it short for something? My daughter loves Woolly and Tig on Cbeebies and it makes me wonder every time I watch it. The family in it are Scottish...is it a gaelic/scottish name?

I know a girl called Tiggie. As far as I know, it is her name, not short for anything.

My parents and other family members call me tiggy as I was a big baby. Came from tiggy lumps.
I'm now 40 and don't mind being called tiggy, althoough sometimes have to explain why.

Tig in the program's real name is Betsy but I thought maybe they took Taggart (her real father who is also plays her dad on the show is Taggart) and as a 'show biz' joke changed it to Tig for her. FYI her real aunt plays her mom and her big sister is her 'narrator'
