Tyga for a boy's name. Yay or nay?

[sprinklesontoast]

Just that really. What are people's thoughts?

absolutely not.

🤣🤣🤣 It’s just about OK for a cat, but definitely not for a person

Nay - unless he's a kitten!

I vaguely know a Tiger. He’s a lovely kid. If you want to call him Tiger, or Bear, or Wolf or whatever, go for it. But why would you mess with the spelling?

I'd probably just go with Tiger, it looks better tbh and fewer connotations of Kylie Jenner's ex boyfriend. Or if you really must, then Tyger like Tyger Drew-Honey from Outnumbered is still better than Tyga.

Go ahead, it's Grrrrrr-eat!

No. Absolutely not.

Tiger is, as pp has said, marginally better. But no.

Tigger! Now there's an underused name!

I know a Taiga, pronounced Tiger. But think it’s connected with the Japanese side of his family. He wears it very well.

Nay

Well its no more out there than Bear Wolf or Fox. At least spell it Tiger though.

Definitely nay👎

Nope.

At least spell it properly if that's the sound/pronunciation that you like

NO.

NAY

Straight on a career trajectory as a toddler MMA fighter.
If you want to properly name home after the animal then great.

The only person who could pull off the name Tiger was Jamie Oliver's Nan RIP.

Tyga is a terrible name.

Could be worse I grew up with a boy call Ryno. As in rhino...

I wouldn't choose it.

Tiger Woods, it's not an odd name but you'd have to spell it properly.

Tyga the rapper is not his real name.

Tiger is better (but he still won't thank you for it).
According to my teenager about the only thing we got right is giving him a "normal" name.
He has got to carry it, so don't make it about you.

Absolutely not.

Even Tiger Woods isn't actually called Tiger. His given name is Eldrick. Tiger is a nickname.

I know a little boy called Tyger/Tyga, not sure which but not Tiger. It's grown on me!

Why would you do this to a child? Horrible name that will label him forever.
