Hi,
I was thinking Tybalt as the name for the baby boy I’m expecting. I think it’s a lovely name but I’m slightly worried about the Romeo/Juliet implications as well.
For the middle name we were considering Ripley, so the name would be Tybalt Ripley, as again think the name is lovely.
Could we possibly get away with naming our son this without people thinking he’s the Romeo + Juliet character!!!

But "Ty" as a nickname for "Tybalt" doesn't work - not the same sound?
If you want "Ty" as a name just call him Ty?

This was my earlier point with the Tibbult pronunciation. It doesn’t make sense.

I love it. But I do have a bit of a Shakespearean theme running through my life.

Ignore the naysayers.

I mean no one will use the middle name so whatevs. Do you like “Ty” cos that is what it will be shortened to for all eternity.

No, it’s pronounced Tibbolt, so it will be shortened to Tib. Which is ok for a kitten and crap for a young man.
