Never in a million years.

Yep, Mary Jane is a worldwide known word for cannabis, for decades.

NowEvenBetter · 08/12/2021 19:50

smellynellie or whatever the name is has to be taking the piss. Hun. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Flutterflybutterby · 08/12/2021 12:59

Nay

Kanfuzed123 · 08/12/2021 09:00

Like the rapper? A world of no…. Not even for a dog… might be ok for a cat

Skysblue · 08/12/2021 08:48

No.

Fine as a nickname for a grown up who’s gone into music industry it somenother celebrity thing.

Not a good look on a young child. Everyone who meets him will think you’re weird, is that what you want?

ElectraBlue · 08/12/2021 08:28

Seriously? no...

[quote Councilworker]@SiobhanSharpe that would be the son of "Ben Dover" and Linzi Drew, adult film stars. He is Lindzi James Tyger Drew-Honey on his birth cert. Presumably following the mumsnet rule to give him one name he can use if he becomes a judge.[/quote]
Isn't he the oldest boy in outnumbered?

I might start a thread about the name Shyte and see what people think...

It certainly beats Tyga hands down, but I prefer the traditional German spelling of Sheit; Shyte looks too much like it's trying to be 'yooneek'.

Ceramide · 08/12/2021 07:39

Tiger or Tyger are fine. Not keen on the Tyga spelling.

DPotter · 08/12/2021 02:36

Nay nay and thrice nay

gaslady14 · 08/12/2021 02:28

No

BabaYaga21 · 08/12/2021 02:24

Please no.

smoko · 08/12/2021 02:19

That's a terrible name. It's the stage name of someone who dated a Kardashian.

It'd be labelling your child & yourself as basic bogans.

MrsEricBana · 08/12/2021 02:05

Nay way.

(Ryno?????)

KosherDill · 08/12/2021 01:57

Naaaaaaay!

silentpool · 08/12/2021 01:53

Proper first name, fun middle name. That way the poor child will be taken seriously in life. If he does take up wrestling, back to the middle name.

Meezer2 · 08/12/2021 01:51

Nooooooooooooo!

SantasGoodLittleGirl · 08/12/2021 01:46

Tighe?
Tyeoga?
Those are both real names.

Snugglybuggly · 08/12/2021 01:31

Noooooo

Wavypurple · 08/12/2021 01:30

Please god no

thatstheloveiwantiwantlove · 08/12/2021 01:20

No. I would totally judge someone as a mother and a person who called their child Tyga. I'd think they were chavvy and illiterate

Anaximedes · 08/12/2021 01:19

Not really, no.

mathanxiety · 08/12/2021 01:16

The animal is pronounced ty-gur in many parts of the English speaking world.

The non rhotic R isn't universal.

If your inspiration is the animal, call him Tiger, and let people pronounce it tyga or tygur according to their own accent. Your child may not spend his entire life in a non rhotic area.

First thought when I read your thread title? Deluded snob Amanda in Motherland, and her pretentious shop HyggeTygge.

I mightn't be the only one, so no...
