Teacher's torment

My first response to reading the thread title was that it was a typo and you meant Tyrese. I like Tyrese much more than Tyree. It's too close to 'tree' for my liking.

HoratioNightboy · 24/02/2017 00:07

Any Scottish posters heard of Tyree as a name?

Yes, it has been used. 64 times since 1971 to be precise, either as a forename or middle name, mostly for girls.

I'd always assumed it was a "unique" spelling if Tiree of which there are slightly more, having been used 105 times in total from 1958. Again more popular for girls. With boys it is sometimes used along with another island name, e.g. Arran or Coll.

Sorry to sound like a nerd, but hopefully that answers your question!

"I think it's supposed to be pronounced TY-ree, rather than tih-REE."
Why?

I think it's supposed to be pronounced TY-ree, rather than tih-REE.

Dreadful

EverythingEverywhere1234 · 23/02/2017 20:04

It's horrid, sorry. Looks like tyre spelt wrong and I'm not sure I'd want to call my child tyre Hmm

RortyCrankle · 23/02/2017 20:03

Not try hard - more desperate to be different.

1stDinkyDecker · 23/02/2017 19:39

It's my collegues surname

Paninotogo · 23/02/2017 19:37

What are the origins of the name OP? I have heard it as a last name and there is an island Tiree, but am interested to know where Tyree is from.

Xmasbaby11 · 23/02/2017 19:32

It doesn't sound like a name. Not keen I'm afraid even if it is a name somewhere.

MrsBungle · 23/02/2017 19:30

The island is Tiree. I don't know any Scottish people with that name.

I do. I'm Scottish and know a man in his 30's named Tiree. He's the only one I know though. I'm not a massive fan of the name tbh.

needapaddle · 23/02/2017 19:24

Awful, I read 'Tyre' not 'Tree' but still agree with everyone above!

WhiskyIrnBru · 23/02/2017 19:21

Sounds like a name that you'd see on Riki Lake back in the 90s.

Dolwar · 23/02/2017 18:14

It's awful.

WaitrosePigeon · 23/02/2017 18:13

2/10

MrsMeeseeks · 23/02/2017 17:50

I like it, but Tyrese is better, IMO.

RusholmeRuffian · 23/02/2017 17:33

Absolutely dreadful!

100 = the best name for a child in an English speaking country

0 = the worst

Tyree = around the 5 mark for me

Sorry, OP Sad

Lemondrop09 · 23/02/2017 16:30

It sounds like Tyrese gone wrong. Sorry

ArriettyClock1 · 23/02/2017 16:29

Faintly hilarious.

MrsPringles · 23/02/2017 16:28

It's not great, sorry op Blush

OMGyoumustbekidding · 23/02/2017 15:25

Yes just went back to original poster and can see the spelling is wrong.

If they changed it to Tiree (the island just south of Coll) then that would not be the worst name I have ever heard, but not the nicest either. If they spell it with a Y that would be extremely strange.
