Tig

Tig is a short and spunky name with roots tracing back to the Irish 'Tadhg,' which means 'poet.' This name made its way into contemporary culture thanks to comedian Tig Notaro, who has helped popularize its edgy, modern feel. While it's rarely used as a standalone name, it carries a fresh and informal air that might appeal to parents looking for something distinctive yet approachable. Tig is brief enough that it doesn't lend itself to nicknames, but it can stand alone just fine.
