Tyree

[LawJed]

Thoughts?

Awful. Is it for a boy or girl?

I just see tree, sorry

A boy

I really dislike it.

Hmm, if you want to name your baby after a Hebridean island, try Lewis, Harris or, at a pinch, Coll.

I don't dislike it. It is a place name, but it is unusual (probably better for a girl)

Made up spelling? A lifetime of corrections and explanations and some people will judge that name as being indicative of being "chav"

Is it pronounced Tie - ree or Tee - ree (I quite like the second.
I think a lot depends on your cultural background tbh, but if you like it - use it and no civilised person will criticise it to you.

It sounds made up
I don't like it

I only know girl's that have that name.

It looks made up, even if it isn't.

Awful.

Not great tbh.

it's an island

• but they spell their name Tiree.

No, it's not made up?

I read "Tyre" first. Certainly wouldn't be a name I would use

I can tell you like it would be a very unpopular choice on Mumsnet. If you really really like it then probably best not to ask here what other people think of it. You'll only hear negatives. Just stick with your own opinion.

If you want a name that people on MN like then go traditional, avoid names that start with Ty or sound invented.

"No, it's not made up? hmm"

Isn't it?

Where does it come from?

Apparently it's a Scottish island? Even so, it's not a person name.

Haff I'm not a fan of traditional names but I still think Tyree is a terrible name. Yes, if the OP loves it she should go for it but she did ask for opinions.

Any Scottish posters heard of Tyree as a name?

I misread it as Terry, initially Would that do?

To be fair it has a modest usage as a name, OP. Maximum of 13 in a given year, but still... That surprises me. What do you know about it?

The island is Tiree. I don't know any Scottish people with that name.

It's not a Scottish island.
