Just that really. What are people's thoughts?

OP posts:
Are your children’s vaccines up to date?
Set a reminder

OP are you genuinely considering naming a child this? Or just having a chat to kill some time?

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

@mrstea301

After the DJ?

If your heart is set on it, there's a lovely Irish boys name that's pronounced Tige, it's spelt Tadhg.

Presuming she's not Irish, why would this be better?
Shehasadiamondinthesky · 08/12/2021 00:28

It will be spelt wrong his entire life.

@Staryflight445

You names your child Mary Jane whilst knowing it’s a reference to whacky backy? Interesting…
Mary Jane is a reference to wacky backy???

It's an awful name. Are you young?

@SiobhanSharpe

There's a young actor called Tiger or Tyger. Believe his parents were in the business too (sort of...) Perhaps nay in the circs?
Yeah the porn business

It's not April fool's day.

You are joking I am sure.

Like tiger?? Wtf, no..... 🙈

user1493494961 · 07/12/2021 19:22

Awful.

Here is the definition for "taiga":

www.dictionary.com/browse/taiga

The Oxford English dictionary has a similar definition. It is pronounced tie-ga.

I think it is a quite nice possible name. It is the name for a brand of outerwear or was. In Canada.

no

Bet this is a windup, anyone who has ever read Baby Names on Mumsnet would know what reaction they'd get GrinGrinGrin

santasmuma · 07/12/2021 17:19

Tyga = tie gah / Tiger = tie grr

Not the same sound but equally shit as names.

Hell no.

A very irresponsible and unfair thing to do to a child....

@StrychnineInTheSandwiches

This will be the only time I say it but, Tiger is a better name.
^^ Agree with this
Cas112 · 07/12/2021 16:51

A lot of people will assume he's named after the hip hop artist

Tee20x · 07/12/2021 16:50

Never never never x100000

santabetterwashhishands · 07/12/2021 16:49

I'm all for uniqueness but definitely nay

I actually quite like it!

I know a boy called Tyla, which could be an alternative.

MinnieJackson · 07/12/2021 16:21

I can't read it without saying it in a New York accent, like judge judy.

TheFreaksShallInheritTheEarth · 07/12/2021 16:19

Nay, nay and thrice nay.
