Are your children’s vaccines up to date?
QuestionableMouse · 16/09/2018 19:00

No.

It's a river and (ugly) port, not a name.

SoupDragon · 16/09/2018 19:02

No.

Unless she has a twin called Wear.

FlosCampi · 16/09/2018 19:03

And people might pronounce it Tiny.

Hairytangerine · 16/09/2018 19:03

As it all mine all mine?

Haberpop · 16/09/2018 19:04

Makes me think of the shipping forecast "Tyne, Dogger, Fisher..."

Well, they're right down in 19th place (of 20) in the Premier League, but it's always an interesting football team to follow.

it's better than listing the entire NUFC squad as a middle name, and although too much of a surname for me to really take to it, it's a heck of a lot better than Magpie.

Disfordarkchocolate · 16/09/2018 19:06

As in Tyne Daley? I like it.

girlandboy · 16/09/2018 19:07

Newcastle upon.......

Please don't

Sleephead1 · 16/09/2018 19:08

I live in Tyne and wear so it would be no for me sorry

HopeGarden · 16/09/2018 19:09

I think it’s one where you’d need to live well away from northeast England and the river Tyne.

IggyAce · 16/09/2018 19:13

Sorry makes me think of Tyne and Wear. If you’re well away from the north east you may get away with it.

SweatyFretty · 16/09/2018 19:15

Do you have a particular affinity for the river?

Nquartz · 16/09/2018 19:19

Ridiculous!

daisypond · 16/09/2018 19:23

Not my style, but perhaps OK. I know two people (girls) named after rivers, so I don't see why not, actually, if you want to be a bit alternative.

BikeRunSki · 16/09/2018 19:23

Worked ok for Tyne Daley, and the upper reaches of the river Tyne are beautiful.

SweatyFretty · 16/09/2018 19:25

There was that Love Island girl actually... Tyne-Lexi.

MikeUniformMike · 16/09/2018 19:32

Bailey and Shannon were popular a few years ago

Ceeeeeelia · 16/09/2018 19:33

Biscay could work? Not sure about Dogger, though!

GinIsIn · 16/09/2018 19:33

No. Just no.

SoupDragon · 16/09/2018 19:33

Worked ok for Tyne Daley

Who is thousands of miles away from The Tyne.

ifoundthebread · 16/09/2018 19:34

I live in Tyne and Wear, so it's a no from me.

ShimmeringIce · 16/09/2018 19:36

I like it, not heard it before. Do you have a connection to the region?

MikeUniformMike · 16/09/2018 19:39

Finisterre or Fitzroy for a boy?

BigRedBoat · 16/09/2018 19:41

The fog on the Tyne is all mine....

FoxesSitOnBoxes · 16/09/2018 19:41

I live in Tyne and Wear and I think it would be a lovely name for someone with connections to the area
