Tyler Morgan..?

[DairyNips]

Ok, so we really thought we were set on Oscar Morgan but are starting to waver a bit as a few too many people har said its a dog or cats name and one person just thought it was 'strange'..

We have a Dylan and a Miles..

Ds3 due any day..

Opinions on Tyler Morgan please

don't really give a stuff tbh

Okay, on your way then.

on my way where lol??? have you been at the sherry

No, but I suspect you may have.

Seriously, just trying to understand what you mean and your POV, but you "don't give a stuff" so never mind.

I guess I do think of them as quite American.

I am not really offended by the 'chav' comments as I don't feel I fit that criteria but I do think it's a bit of a snobby thing to say!

I judge people for who they are and how they act, not on their names or where they live. I, in fact live in an ex council house on a council estate. I am not 'white trash' or 'rough' however, neither are a lot of my neighbours.

It's so hard to get an impression of people over the internet. As I said earlier, it depends who you know with a certain name as to what opinion you form of it.

I do see from the general consensus that Tyler is hated by many

I think out of all the names we've considered Oscar is the one I feel most comfortable with... Will have to see what our non chavvy, non white trash ds looks like when he arrives

i dont think it's a hated name just misunderstood like many common or popular names that are around at the moment.

As for me mentioning the american part I was just thinking where the name might have originated from.

not sure why tidy has her knickers up her bum about my comments, unless her child is called james

Both names definitely surged in popularity in America before becoming trendy here, so in that sense I would say they were 'american' names.

Nope, just trying to ascertain why you were saying those names were American, when they aren't.

And then you seemed to get all stroppy, which was silly.

I thought Morgan was a Welsh name??

I think it might actually be Irish, misslinnet, not certain.

Tyler is a bad boy name.

For anyone who missed it I have now ruled Tyler out.. As you were

I like Tyler. I know a pre teen called Tyler who is lovely and very far from rough council estate that many seem to tarnish it with.

And i think of Tyler from fight club. And I do like brad pitt :-)

The chavvy, council estate comments are a bit much. Why not just say common or something without having to be derogatory to so many?

Why not just say you don't like it?

Actually I think "common" is just about the snottiest putdown possible...

Nah it's got nothing on white trash

I didn't mean common as in class, I meant common as in you hear it often. My name was common in the 80s, there were three of us in a class of eighteen, but its not a "lower class" name as some would say . I meant the proper term for common, not the slang.

Just to put the cat amongst the "chavy" pigeons (I also HATE that word - usualsuspects):

I live in a flat I rent from the council, on a council estate, and I have a son called OSCAR.

Using the term "council estate" to denegrate a name choice is REALLY insulting and ignorant.

p.s don't worry everybody I've not downgraded the name Oscar by using it, despite the fact I live in a council house. I have a Masters degree and was privately educated. Oh and I once bought something from mini Boden.

Badger well said!

"I have a Masters degree and was privately educated. Oh and I once bought something from mini Boden"

Hence, why you dont have a son called TYLER ;)

I went to school in the US about 20 years ago and knew several Tylers, when I moved over to the UK I ddn't hear it until the last decade or so, so I Also think of it as an American name.
