Just that really. What are people's thoughts?

@Cotswoldmama

Just name him Tiger without the 'unique' spelling.
You mean yooneek spelling surely?
SiobhanSharpe · 07/12/2021 12:52

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

Hoppinggreen · 07/12/2021 12:52

No
Tiger s bad enough but that’s not even a word

Waspie · 07/12/2021 12:52

Fuck no.

@sprinklesontoast

Yeah, pronounced same as the animal.
Please don't do that to a child, use it for a cat or cuddy toy then it would be funny.
WonderHen · 07/12/2021 12:51

No.

@StrychnineInTheSandwiches

This will be the only time I say it but, Tiger is a better name.
Yes, exactly! Much better. #

OP, consider that this child may well move around geographically in his/her life, beyond regions where 'Tiger' and 'Tyga' are homonyms, like where I live, for instance.

Just name him Tiger without the 'unique' spelling.

SylvanianFrenemies · 07/12/2021 12:48

Nay

squee123 · 07/12/2021 12:47

Very youneek. And ridiculous.

WhatsMyNameGonnaBeNow · 07/12/2021 12:46

Awful, don’t do it.

TuesdayRuby · 07/12/2021 12:46

Nay! It reminds me of that awful rapper that Kylie Jenner went out with.

I know of a little boy called Tiga (tee-ga). That’s quite cute. I think his mum is Italian and his dad is German.

EurghCobwebs · 07/12/2021 12:46

As in the rapper? I think that says it all really

amsadandconfused · 07/12/2021 12:46

No

givemepiece · 07/12/2021 12:46

Omg please no

You're aware of the crap American rapper who makes a fortune on only fans that goes by that name?

But even so, even without him, it's a NO

Nay

Lockdownbear · 07/12/2021 12:44

Nay looks like a spelling mistake, ti-ga, is that how it's meant to be pronounced tiger?

TokyoSushi · 07/12/2021 12:43

No x a million!

EverNapping · 07/12/2021 12:43

No

Palavah · 07/12/2021 12:42
