Just that really. What are people's thoughts?

Absolutely not.

Tiger is better (but he still won't thank you for it).
According to my teenager about the only thing we got right is giving him a "normal" name.
He has got to carry it, so don't make it about you.

Tiger Woods, it's not an odd name but you'd have to spell it properly.

Tyga the rapper is not his real name.

AnotherOneWithNoGoodName · 07/12/2021 13:14

I wouldn't choose it.

Could be worse I grew up with a boy call Ryno. As in rhino...

The only person who could pull off the name Tiger was Jamie Oliver's Nan RIP.

Tyga is a terrible name.

Straight on a career trajectory as a toddler MMA fighter.
If you want to properly name home after the animal then great.

Youkilledmyfatherpreparetodie · 07/12/2021 13:10

NAY

RalphLaurenG · 07/12/2021 13:10

NO.

SoftPillow · 07/12/2021 13:09

Nope.

At least spell it properly if that's the sound/pronunciation that you like

SilverOtter · 07/12/2021 13:09

Definitely nay👎

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 07/12/2021 13:08

Well its no more out there than Bear Wolf or Fox. At least spell it Tiger though.

inkworks273 · 07/12/2021 13:08

Nay

crumpet · 07/12/2021 13:07

I know a Taiga, pronounced Tiger. But think it’s connected with the Japanese side of his family. He wears it very well.

gokartdillydilly · 07/12/2021 13:05

Tigger! Now there's an underused name!

HollyandIvyandAllThingsYule · 07/12/2021 13:04

No. Absolutely not.

Tiger is, as pp has said, marginally better. But no.

Thelikelylass · 07/12/2021 13:01

Go ahead, it's Grrrrrr-eat!

Ruibies · 07/12/2021 13:01

I'd probably just go with Tiger, it looks better tbh and fewer connotations of Kylie Jenner's ex boyfriend. Or if you really must, then Tyger like Tyger Drew-Honey from Outnumbered is still better than Tyga.

Elnetthairnet · 07/12/2021 13:00

I vaguely know a Tiger. He’s a lovely kid. If you want to call him Tiger, or Bear, or Wolf or whatever, go for it. But why would you mess with the spelling?

campion · 07/12/2021 12:59

Nay - unless he's a kitten!

Iamanicepersonreally · 07/12/2021 12:57

🤣🤣🤣 It’s just about OK for a cat, but definitely not for a person

barbrahunter · 07/12/2021 12:56

absolutely not.

Councilworker · 07/12/2021 12:56

@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.

Mischance · 07/12/2021 12:55

Er ...... you need to ask??!!

mumsiedarlingrevolta · 07/12/2021 12:54

No -absolutely no chance
