What does everyone think of it?
I like the name but never met anyone with it.

OP posts:

I've never spoke to you before,littlemog.I usually just ignore you.

miffybun73 · 30/08/2013 22:26

Don't do it. Almost any other name is nicer.

How about Daniel, James, Thomas, Matthew, Joseph.

I realise that these names are popular (some might say boring), but they are popular for a reason - lovely names.

It might not help that Tyler in Eastenders was engaged to Whitney Dean who is without doubt, the most chavviest soap character to have ever existed!!!

But Tyler himself isn't chavvy - quite cute and cheeky actually Smile

Ummm I'm middle class and my son is called Tyler. Just because some bint has declared the name chavy doesn't make it so :-/

Judge away by all means!

Agree with blueshoes. I would want people's honest opinions if I posted a name on here. A polite "whatever you like Hun" is not much use really is it?

blueshoes · 30/08/2013 21:58

Isn't it pertinent to answering the OP's question that enough people view the name Tyler as common? I am not from the UK and that would be a fact I would be very interested to know if that was name I was considering.

Me too - and it comes clogs up Active...

usualsuspect · 30/08/2013 21:55

Baby names is the pits of MN.

I should hide it really.

TantrumsAndBalloons · 30/08/2013 21:53

I think you have it spot on usual

Up themselves, spiteful twats is about right.

I never ever post here simply because I know this topic is full if people like this. It's a shame really.

But, like I say, I know my son. And I know it says a lot about people if they judge him by his name.

DancesWithWoolEnPointe · 30/08/2013 21:50

Not to mention that if you judge people based on their names you will be teaching your children to do it too.

usualsuspect · 30/08/2013 21:39

It's because they are up themselves,spiteful twats.

I've already been slated on MN today,so in for a penny...

Grin usual

Chibbs · 30/08/2013 21:29

i personally hate the name. Think it sounds horrible, and as this thread has gone to show people DO judge on a name

usualsuspect · 30/08/2013 21:28

If Littlemog is a teacher then I'm the queen of fucking Sheba.

Alisvolatpropiis · 30/08/2013 21:27

I've always imagined Tyler's to be quite clean cut and "preppy" (think it was first introduced to me by American tv).

There are far worse names...Cecil anyone?

usualsuspect · 30/08/2013 21:26

I see the twats are out in force on this thread.

HamletsSister · 30/08/2013 21:11

Nor do I. 'twas tongue in cheek. If I did judge on names then my worst ever nightmare was a Matthew, closely followed by a Melissa. So M names would be out ( I am an M myself!)

HamletsSister · 30/08/2013 21:10

Naughty does not mean EVIL. It means a bit of a pain but made me smile. At least that is what it means in my staff room. Fucking nightmare....now that's a whole other thread.

And I have been on these threads for years MrsDV and knew exactly what the responses would be.

Also, if someone asks for an opinion (and we were asked) how is it rude to offer one?

DancesWithWoolEnPointe · 30/08/2013 21:08

But Hamlet is people judging on name a given? I don't. Lots of other people on this thread don't.

Tyler was my first choice for DS now 19. Pretty much as an homage to Wat Tyler, leader of the Peasants Revolt. I remember I was also very keen on Dylan, being a big fan of Bob. DP talked me out of both in favour of one of those slightly bland safe names that a member of the Royal family might use. I am still quite regretful.
