Husband loves the name Ty (Tye) for a boy.

[GiveMeVegemite]

I'm really trying to love it too as I pretty much forced my favourite name on him for our first son.

Reason I am a bit unsure is I think it sounds a bit nicknamey?

Can I have your thoughts please?

also the boys at school will have fun with it... Ty(dy) up! What's the Ty(me)? tyre, Type, Ty(ger) ... actually its a syllable rather than a name. Sorry.

It is a western name in the US. There's a pro bull riding event called the Ty Murray Invitational. He was a very successful bull rider.

And married to Jewel.

I'd assume it was short for something.

Ah, definitely not the same one then wizardofos. The dad of the one I know is also a martial arts instructor funnily enough. He's a tai chi champion.

Hahaha thanks for all your comments. I guess it's always going to be a name that a lot of people don't like. We are not chavvy, but not pretentious enough to completely rule it out either!

My middle name is Ty...just Ty. I have received many compliments upon my name and it is unique, however, people sometimes ask if it is short for...other full names and ask spellings, lol. I am the only one at my age, among two others whom have this name. Glad i am not a other bland name.

I think, for a boy, it is a pretty name and leaves a little intrigue. I dont like it for a girl...it gets confusing, namely Tyra....as in Banks, who set that whole thing off.

I came to suggest Tadgh. Its common enough now that i think most people would know, or at least get it after being told once - despite the spelling it's quite an easy name to say. I do know a Tadgh that spells it Tighe, if that would work any better pronunciation wise?

I think Tye is better than Ty. Tye is a surname so could possibly be used as a first name. Ty just looks very nicknamey to me.
Guy?
