Tig?

[LingDiLong]

Where does this girl's name come from? Is it short for something? My daughter loves Woolly and Tig on Cbeebies and it makes me wonder every time I watch it. The family in it are Scottish...is it a gaelic/scottish name?

Have known a Tiggy who was tabitha...

I know a little girl called Tiger. Kid you not.

My parents and other family members call me tiggy as I was a big baby. Came from tiggy lumps.
I'm now 40 and don't mind being called tiggy, althoough sometimes have to explain why.

Tig in the program's real name is Betsy but I thought maybe they took Taggart (her real father who is also plays her dad on the show is Taggart) and as a 'show biz' joke changed it to Tig for her. FYI her real aunt plays her mom and her big sister is her 'narrator'

Tig is a varient of Tyr. As in the Norse God.

The Tigs I know are nn for Tegan

This thread answered alot of long standing Woolly and Tig debates between OH and I! X

ItStarted DP and I have had MANY arguments over the name Tig and also about Topsy

I know a Tigerlilly called Tiga or Tiger for short.
Tegan could become Tig

Tegan becomes Tiggy, too.

The Tiggy I knew as a child was nicknamed that as she used to growl like a tiger in her playpen. Not sure if she paced as well.

ooh i love the name Antigone - imagine if your surname was Tigglesworth though?
just one thing, wasn't Antigone the mother of Oedipus?
