Comments for the name Ty

I like the name Ty. I have a cousin by the name of Tyrus, and still to this day I don't know the exact meaning of his name. But it is truly a good name for a little boy.

If you ask me, it looked like a variant of "Cyrus". :)

A good first name for a kid whose last name is just ridiculously long, like my friend who has this name. Also the company that makes Beanie Babies. (Ty, Inc.)

Ty Pennington, the "team leader" on the show Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, is a famous bearer of this name. ;)

My friend Ty is short for Tyson and it suits him so well. Only his mom calls him Tyson and no one else. I really like the name!

I named my son Ty. I've always said that he will be the first one in kindergarten to spell his name.

I think this is a great name.

I love this name! It's short and to the point! My best friend's name is Ty and I think it suits him very well!

Ty means "you" in Czech and Slovak.

I don't like it as a full first name, or even as a middle name. Actually, I don't like it per se. You should name your son Tyler and call him Ty if you feel like it. Too minimalist, too youthful, and quite lower middle class in sound and look.

I like it best as a nickname for Tycho.

I like the way it looks. It also reminds me of Tyson chicken.

The main character is named Ty in the video game "Ty the Tasmanian Tiger".

This is also a diminutive girl's name, short for girl's names like Tyra. I actually do prefer it as a girl's name, but I don't like Tyra as a name.

Sounds far too minimalist and trashy.

To me Ty seems like a weird spelling. So I much prefer Tai as a short form of Taison. In my opinion, that spelling kind of takes away the trashy feeling that Ty or Tyson has.

I'll admit to thinking it's a cute nickname, though I can't stand it as a first name.

A famous bearer was baseball player Ty Cobb (1886-1961), who I can't believe hasn't been mentioned here. His real first name was Tyrus, however.
