Thoughts?

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

It isn't an island. Tiree is an island.......

OMGyoumustbekidding · 23/02/2017 15:19

It is an island but still not sure about it. There are loads of kids round here named after scottish islands, but if you ever move from scotland it will be a pretty odd name.

KoalaDownUnder · 23/02/2017 14:29

No. Very bad.

dahlinggggs · 23/02/2017 14:22

One of the worst I've heard on MN.

Bobowhite · 23/02/2017 14:14

Pretty awful name IMHO.

BertrandRussell · 23/02/2017 14:12

It's not a Scottish island.

CycleOnTheLEFT · 23/02/2017 14:09

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

reuset · 23/02/2017 14:05

To be fair it has a modest usage as a name, OP. Maximum of 13 in a given year, but still... That surprises me. What do you know about it?

reuset · 23/02/2017 14:02

Any Scottish posters heard of Tyree as a name?

I misread it as Terry, initially Would that do?

EggsEleven · 23/02/2017 13:58

Haff I'm not a fan of traditional names but I still think Tyree is a terrible name. Yes, if the OP loves it she should go for it but she did ask for opinions.

Gallavich · 23/02/2017 13:57

Apparently it's a Scottish island? Even so, it's not a person name.

BertrandRussell · 23/02/2017 13:36

"No, it's not made up? hmm"

Isn't it?

Where does it come from?

Haffdonga · 23/02/2017 13:33

I can tell you like it would be a very unpopular choice on Mumsnet. If you really really like it then probably best not to ask here what other people think of it. You'll only hear negatives. Just stick with your own opinion.

If you want a name that people on MN like then go traditional, avoid names that start with Ty or sound invented.

Sirzy · 23/02/2017 13:28

I read "Tyre" first. Certainly wouldn't be a name I would use

No, it's not made up?

OP posts:

FreshStart2017 · 23/02/2017 13:25

but they spell their name Tiree.

Shallishanti · 23/02/2017 13:25

it's an island

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 23/02/2017 13:24

Not great tbh.

BertrandRussell · 23/02/2017 13:24

Awful.

Gallavich · 23/02/2017 13:24

It looks made up, even if it isn't.

FreshStart2017 · 23/02/2017 13:24

I only know girl's that have that name.

Vanillamanilla1 · 23/02/2017 13:24

It sounds made up
I don't like it

ZogsAnon · 23/02/2017 13:22

Is it pronounced Tie - ree or Tee - ree (I quite like the second.
I think a lot depends on your cultural background tbh, but if you like it - use it and no civilised person will criticise it to you.

PovertyJetset · 23/02/2017 13:20

Made up spelling? A lifetime of corrections and explanations and some people will judge that name as being indicative of being "chav"

OMGyoumustbekidding · 23/02/2017 13:19

I don't dislike it. It is a place name, but it is unusual (probably better for a girl)
