Tyler Allen

DH and I are having some trouble agreeing on a boy's name, but recently we both started warming up on the name Tyler. It's a name we both liked years ago, but had kind of forgotten about since.

I usually like names that are a little more unusual, but I don't think Tyler is too popular or overused. My one real concern would be whether or not the name ages well. I can picture Tyler as a kid and a young adult, but beyond that, I'm not sure.

DH's mn is Allen, and this has actually been the mn of first born sons in his family for the past four generations. I think it would be nice to carry on the tradition. ALso, our last name is close to Goes (it's pronounced like ghost without the t). So we'd be looking at:

Tyler Allen Goes  

THoughts?

I like it. DH's 18 yr old cousin is named Tyler and he goes by Ty. He's a great young person and I think that name will grow well with him (and your son).

Tyler Allen sounds good too!

I'm bias as Tyler is my DS's name, you are right in that it is not nearly as popular as it used to be (yay), and it is dated enough that there are many adults named Tyler so it's easier to picture it on an adult. I love the MN with family significance and I love the NN Ty.

I LOVE the name Tyler.  It is actually my little brother's name (we usually call him Ty though). If my mom had not used it 21 years ago, it would so be on my boy list.  His middle name is Matthew.  I might be using Tyler as a middle name someday if I find a first name that flows with it.

Tyler is a nice name and I don't think you will find it being too popular.  IMO, it ages just fine (better than Jayden, Jaxon, Brayden, etc!)

I agree with this.
