I was wondering why it looked like a Dutch masculine name, then I saw the Tycho comment. That aside, I like Tyche with that pronunciation. Tyche Fernanda & Tyche Ludmila are awesome combinations.Some I've come up with:
Tyche Gertrude
Tyche Yohana
Tyche Marama
Tyche Veronika
Tyche Felice
I'm not really a fan of this name.
Does nothing for me. Too easy to pronounce titch or tike or tai chi.
The name Tykea or Tykia (pronounced Ty-KEE-a) is very popular on young blak women around here. I've encountered several, but never anywhere else. I like that name better.
Tyche and Tycho are both really cool names. I also like Tyro (unrelated, I know, but Tyche reminds me of its existence).Tyche is peppy and energetic. I think a lot of T names give me that energy. I picture a Tyche having go-getter boss vibes.I like Tyche Fernanda a lot. Tyche Rosalind and Tyche Edwina also appeal!
I'm sorry, I'm not trying to be mean about names but it sounds to much like Tick.
Do you say tick sort of like tie-ick? I don't.

Meant looks like tick
I want to like it, but in my head I hear “titchy”, and when I force myself to say it right I hear tyke (meaning small child) with an ‘ee’ tacked on… tykey meaning ‘like a tyke’?
It does seem pithy, and I like it though prefer Syntyche. A potential drawback would be association with the word tyke.Tyche Roxanne is my favorite of the combos.

I keep reading as "tih-kheh" and understanding as "quiet".
That makes sense. It's the Ancient Greek word for "luck/fortune/chance."
тихо (tikho, tykho) is quiet in my language... so that is what i understand from name.
Yes, I know that—that’s why I said it makes sense. :)
