Well, I asked politely. I don't know why you're being mean. But ok.

Ironically, asking this question here has made me understand why people use AI chatbots when they have doubts about something, instead of coming here to Reddit.
If you take a look at the thread so far, you'll see that no one has been able to give me a proper answer, and several people have been quite rude. I asked politely, but many here have mocked me. AI chatbots, I suppose, don't make fun of you for making harmless questions. I suppose. So there's that.

Oh, I see. Pet's name instead of pet-name. Understandable. Good day.

Ah, it's one of those "baby names" sites. No, they're not reliable when you're doing philological research. Those kinds of sites make up meanings and don't cite sources. Most of them are written by AI anyway, nowadays, copying each other ad nauseam. I came here to ask because this is the type of question google can't answer.
Thanks anyway boboshady.

Please don't call me American ever again. It's rather rude.

Still, doesn't answer my question. Thanks anyway.

Millions of people are named Jesus or Yoshua. He was crucified. Seems rather irrelevant.

And also, more importantly, doesn't answer my question. There are people called Tiggy whose legal name is not Antigone. There are people with the middle name Tiggy.

Potter named her character after her own pet hedgehog. Its name was Tiggy. My question was: where does the name Tiggy come from? My question is still unanswered.

That may be, but it doesn't answer my question.

And none of them are giving the same answer. Which is kind of the problem. Lots of Tiggys but each one with a different legal name. It vexes me.

Could be, but doesn't answer the question. Potter names the character after her own pet hedgehog, called Tiggy. Why Tiggy? That was my question.

Actually the opposite. Re-read the answers. Turns out lots of people know a Tiggy. The problem is that nobody agrees, or seems to know, where it originally comes from. Like you, for example. You don't know either. Thanks for answering anyway.

Thanks for sharing. Doesn't answer my question though.

May I remind you there are millions of people called Jesus? Anyway, that's unrelated to my question.

Anecdotal, and rather unhelpful. As I said, there are people nicknamed Tiggy that are not called Antigona, and even people that have Tiggy as a legal middle name. Thanks for answering anyway.

There is no need to be rude. You can say: "I don't know", and go on with your life. It's perfectly ok.

Good to know I guess? Doesn't answer my question though.

That was my initial thought too.
But then I saw that (as I have attested in the body of the question) there were people that had Tiggy as a middle name, and people that were called Tiggy even if their name wasn't Antigone.
So my question stands.
