The first name 
Tyre

Tyre is a first name typically given to boys, but in rare cases also used as a girls name.

Tyre – one in 100,000!

There’s a good chance that a boy named Tyre in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Tyre in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 boys is named Tyre by his parents. In the ranking of most common boys names in recent years, Tyre ranks at #4,708. That means there are 4,707 more common boys names, but there are also a few thousand that are even rarer. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Tyre.

Tyre -
an underrated contemporary

While Tyre isn't one of the most popular names of all time, it does seem to have attracted parents especially in the second half of last century. In 1992 the name Tyre reached its highest popularity with #1,128 in our ranking of all male first names. As it is so exquisite, mothers and fathers did not always come up with the idea of naming their son Tyre. One might assume that this was because the name was only occasionally in keeping with the spirit of the times - and boys in those decades were given the unusual and beautiful name of Tyre.

In years where the graph has no value, the name Tyre was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
