There is another literary Tybalt that significantly predates Shakespeare's Tybalt, namely: king Tybalt from the medieval German epic poem "Willehalm" (13th century) written by the German poet Wolfram von Eschenbach (died around 1220).The English Wikipedia spells the king's name as Tibalt, but the German Wikipedia and transcriptions of the poem use Tybalt:• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willehalm (in English) • https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willehalm (in German) • https://www.fh-augsburg.de/~harsch/germanica/Chronologie/13Jh/Wolfram/wol_wi00.html (in German; king Tybalt first appears in Buch I, after which he is mentioned in all of the subsequent Bücher)
I don't really like this name. There's always the Romeo and Juliet factor, plus it just doesn't sound all that good. It would be nice on a cat, though. Tybalt would be a nice companion for Miss Kitty Fantastica.Plus, it also makes me think of Tybalt from the webcomic Boy Meets Boy. If BMB ever really had an antagonist, it was Tybalt (or Collin, but that's beside the point).
Pshhhh, I read a book called Chestnut Hill written by Lauren Brooke, and she writes horse story type of books and Tybalt was the name of a traumatized horse. I don't think this is a very good name for a person.
This name makes me think of someone who is fiery and angry, probably due to the character in Romeo and Juliet. Tybalt had it comming to him when Romeo killed him. He was a jerk. I wouldn't use this name.
The English Wikipedia spells the king's name as Tibalt, but the German Wikipedia and transcriptions of the poem use Tybalt:

• https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willehalm (in German)
• https://www.fh-augsburg.de/~harsch/germanica/Chronologie/13Jh/Wolfram/wol_wi00.html (in German; king Tybalt first appears in Buch I, after which he is mentioned in all of the subsequent Bücher)
