Okay, now we’re just being ridiculous. Although I admit that as a nn for Antigone it made me smile.

Why should Tiggy be ridicolous?

Is it not the same of Tilly, Cindy or Libby?

Does an English speaker has a particular association with any negative word or famous bearer?

Tiggy sounds like a childish nickname or something cutsy people call their spouses in private. It would be really cute on a baby Antigone. Tilly is not used as a full name by Americans and, until very recently, neither was Poppy.

Tilly's getting enough use by Americans that I wouldn't be surprised if it charted in the next ~5 years.
