I never would have thought of this name. Not for me, but I agree that it’s a great way to have a Ty. All I could think of while reading this was actress Tyne Daly.

At first, I couldn’t get past the idea of the tines on a fork. But the more I think about it, the more I like it, especially when I imagine it pronounced with an Irish accent. It’s a pretty good way of getting to the very appealing NN Ty, without resorting to the ubiquitous Tyler.

I am not a huge fan. It has a harsh sound and a tryndee feel.

It sounded so familiar and I couldn’t put my finger on it until I got to your mention of Cecily Tynan. Yep, that’s it. I’m luke warm to tepid on Tynan. Too much ‘n’ for my personal tastes and it does sound a little trendy to me, as you ventured in the final paragraph. Of the Ty names you mention, Tyrone is my favorite, but still not one I would use. But there’s nothing about Tynan that induces a strong reaction – if I met a Tynan it would probably have the same effect on me as meeting a Tyler or a Tyson – no wows either way.
