I really like Ty as a nickname! It feels like a very classic nickname, short, to the point, and full of personality. I hadn’t considered it as full standalone name, but hey if Kai or Io can be full given names, why can’t Ty? It might be safer to use it for a middle name and then give a longer name for a first, but also hey if it works it works! I think it’s a great name :D.

I have a good friend that goes by this. It's his full name and he doesn't mind. For nicknames me and my friends call him T Y. It was kind of good that this was his full name since his best friend was named Tyler. Personally, I would just have it as nickname and only a nickname.

Ty, in my opinion is the best name. I personally have known a couple Ty's in my days- they're such a delight. They're the kind of people who will give you a quarter for lunch or at least back in my day. One time Ty the guy even gave me a hug when my dog left me for Susan. But personally, you can't blame the dog. Susan had bacon nips. Basically Ty is the man for the job. It is not too short not too long.

This name is okay I guess. There was this one kid in my class named Ty but his last name started with a Y so his initials would by TY. When the teacher told us to do our initials on something, he would write Ty, and people would be like, "Write your initials! Not your name!" And he would be like "I am!" so this name is a little short and weird to me.

It's nice if it's used as a nickname for Tyler or Tyrell, but it's far too short and minimalist to be used as a full name,

I like the sound of Ty but in my opinion it's better to be used as a short form of names beginning with Ty (Tyler, Tyson, Taichi...). Ty is a cool name, though! :)

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 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 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.
