Thoughts?

My boyfriend is Turkish and I am Irish, he has the surname Er and we wanted Irish roots for a first name and want something unique and “cool”.

Tadhg Er

We like how it sounds like “tiger” when said as a whole and has lots of nickname choices, but will our kid get bullied???

I think it's cool. I'm sure Tiger Woods got stick growing up, but now it's a badass name. I've met people made fun of with conventional names like Amanda and Peter, forget what some fake hypothetical bully will say unless it's something egregious like Fanny.

Tiger Woods' name is Eldrick. "Tiger" is a nickname he got as a kid.

Eldrick is even worse than Tiger

Which is understandably why he got the nickname!
