Tynan?

[Dorcha]

It’s my old Irish meaning ‘dark’. Both DH and I had Irish grandparents.

Worried it may sound a bit made up though....

For a girl? Boy?

How is it pronounced?

I have never heard of it. “Tie nan” ?

You’d get Ty as a nn, like with Tyrone.

It's a wee village near where I grew up. Not a name.

I think it does sound a bit made up, similar to Tyler or Kaylen. But I do like that it has meaning!

I read that and immediately Thought 'Wear' as in Tyne and Wear.

I don’t think it is an actual Irish name?

It makes me think of Kenneth Tynan first, and then I thought it sounded like an obscure Lannister cousin. Not necessarily a bad thing.

*An obscure Lannister cousin

I thought it looked made up sorry OP.

Kenneth. Surname as a first name. Ok as a mn but not as 1st name.

Not really

I’d want to say wear after it too.

no, it just sounds like Kenneth.

Tyrone or Tyson are both fine names..:)

I just here Tyne 'n, as in 'Tyne and Wear'

*hear

Is it actually an Irish name or just an Irish word? So a bit like just calling a child 'dark'?

I don't think it's terrible, but I've only ever heard it as a surname, not a first name (I'm Irish).

What about Tiernan (TEER-nun)?

I know a few with it as a surname. Not keen as a forename.

I like it! but I did wonder if you got it form game of thrones! Lol

Kenneth. And also Tylenol.

I know one. He’s ridiculously posh. In fact, I think he might be a Lord or similar.

It dies look a bit made up like Jaydox or tacson etc ...

Yeah I know, it is very 'Lannister'... Also looks a bit made up, along the lines of 'Kyron' or 'Zayden'.

What do you all think of Torin?

Ooh I like Torin. Much nicer than Tynan.

Plus Tor is a much nicer sounding NN than Ty I think.
