What do you think of the name Ty or Tychus?

[Jemini_Crocket]

I would love to name my baby boy in the future Ty or ideally Tychus so that Ty would be a cute nickname for him (of course if I get lucky, find the perfect husband material that will produce me a strong healthy baby boy hehe).

I do come from a country where we are still strongly used to our specific kinds of names, but I don't care what others here around me think. I like this name.

What do you think of it? :)

Good name - go for it

Interesting name

Strange name

No way!

Tychus?

No, no good is going to come from that because it's a letter away from Typhus, the potentially lethal class of diseases.
Google "Typhoid Mary".


======
https://www.cdc.gov/typhus/index.html
Typhus fevers are a group of diseases caused by bacteria that are spread to humans by fleas, lice, and chiggers. Typhus fevers include scrub typhus, murine typhus, and epidemic typhus. Chiggers spread scrub typhus, fleas spread murine typhus, and body lice spread epidemic typhus. The most common symptoms are fever, headaches, and sometimes rash.

Now, you could go with Tyrus which was the real first name of Ty Cobb, the famous baseball player among the first class of the Hall of Fame. However, Ty Cobb was a bit of an asshole as a player, so you might want to think twice about that.

HOWEVER, if you can go with "Ti" as a nickname instead of "Ty", consider naming your kid "Tiberius". Tiberius was a Roman emperor AND it's the middle name of Captain Kirk.

You can't go wrong with Captain Kirk...

What does it mean?

every name is a prophecy and a blessing/curse. Naming one’s child should be of immense importance and significance.

if you’re naming your child, based on the sound of the word, you might as well name him, blip or woosh.

[Andres77]

The initials should not spell something embarrassing. It should not be something that is hard to spell (by most of the population).

There's a Starcraft character named Tychus. That's the only place I've heard that name from. It's a good name in any case..

[wolfcat87]

Tychus make me think of the disease typhus that causes typhoid fever. Ty is cute though

[purplepoppy]

Unfortunately, Ty means house here and Ty bach means toilet (little house) so I'd be reluctant to name my kid it.

[strateguy632]

ty sounds nice, but tychus seems too ancient and kids will say "tychus typhus" kids mock use rhymes, bart fart etc.

[DryGermanGuy]

Typhus is a disease and tuchus means butt. So, no.

[loveslongnails]

If I were named Tychus, I'd be counting the days till I was legally able to change, while I was in therapy for hating my parent (s) who named me.

[Dnice1]

Love the name Ty, it reminds me of someone who I'll never forget

[BoobMan]

What's the origin of Tychus? When I looked it up the first link is that it's a genus of beetles.

[Staximus]

Tychus is a genus or type of beetle. So go ahead if you want to make your kid after an insect. There is a biblical name Eutychus, a young man that supposedly fell out of a window and died after falling asleep during St. Paul's long speeches. He was supposedly brought back to life by St. Paul. The name is said to mean "fortunate".

[Jemini_Crocket]

There's literraly a vulgar name (Dick) and people got no problem with that?

[Staximus]

Dick is not a name, it's a nickname

[Jemini_Crocket]

It apparently is. www.discoverwalks.com/.../

[Staximus]

Every guy with the first name Dick is named Richard. Everybody knows dick is a nickname for Richard.

[serenalovesramen]

I heard of Ty but not Tychus, it could be a unique name lol

[Aiko_E_Lara]

Ty, Tee, Tea, T, or maybe Tie. They all sound similar which makes it strange

[Astarlessnightsky]

Tychus sounds like a desease.

[aceleon]

ty good tychus not, go with only ty or tyler.

[OlderAndWiser]

Tychus is too close to Typhus.

[NathanDavis]

"thank you"

[gorydetails]

Ty is good, but Tychus is horrible.

[TallAnon]

Honestly reminds me of typhus

[Anonymous]

Sounds like a robot.

[Wood3nWhal3]

It's a tie for me

[KrakenAttackin]

Ghetto.

[eagle1951]
