do you think that others will mis-hear the name and assume that you said Tai?

Isn't it used as a racist term for a Catholic in Scotland though?

Dh knows a tadhg in Dublin, known as Tatty. I know a Tadhg in Cork who isn't known as Tatty, so I assume it isn't always shortened (or lengthened!)

lol maggie, that's how i have to describe my surname (not tiger but another _er word that drops the er to be my surname)

Tell them it's like Tiger without the er!

yes i agree i do love the name and i think it's worth using it even if i have to correct people that was the only thing holding me back.

I like it. But I'm Irish... could be a bit too 'excuse me could you repeat that?" to the average person in UK???????

i love it but then i live in Ireland where it's a known name and would be pronounced properly.

i can't see how people would hear 'Tai' when you say 'Tie-g' as the g is pronounced strongly enough.... there are always idiots who mishear but i even get that with the two bog standard names i chose, almost as much as the more unusual one!
