Our story of Tykeria
Tykeria begins with a word English has had for a long time: tyke, from Old Norse tík, a female dog. In the north of England a tyke was a mongrel, then a rough fellow — Yorkshiremen still call themselves Tykes — and finally, softening as words often do, a small child. The name then opens into the -keria of Kiara and Keira, a long e and a lilting close. It is a name built from American parts, and its first syllable happens to carry a thousand years of English affection.

Fashion outlook
Tykeria sits outside the current charts, and that is its own kind of answer: naming cycles can only date the names they carried up. A name this rare has no decade stamped on it — it cannot go out of fashion, because it was never in.

The trade-off
- Rhythmic and easy to say once heard.
- Very rare, so a Tykeria is unlikely to share her name.
- Comes with Ty and Keria as ready short forms.
- Tykeira, Takeria and Tykiera are all likely guesses; it will need spelling out.
- A playground may find 'tyke' in it; it is an affectionate word and the joke is mild.
- It has no documented meaning, only its sound and its parts.
