So what if it sounds mddle eastern? It's a nice name, and it's really nobody's business besides you and your husband.

Yes, it does. I know a man named Tirik and he is Middle Eastern.
I don't understand why you are getting a hard time from everyone. Are they all racist? I guess I just don't understand. What is wrong with being 'ethnic?'
Do you like the name? I notice that you wrote that your husband just named your son, did you not have any say in the matter?

Yes, it does sound Middle Eastern. Looks like a variation of Tariq, which is of course an Arabic name.

Tirik is always going to be jealous that Kaden got a normal name.

Is it pronounced tear-ick? If so, that is ok. Dont think it sounds middle eastern. Not common.

Why did you name your kid after a black man? Change his name to Joshua. If you have to keep this name, start pronouncing it differently. Ie. teer-ick.
