the name is tarin but i want to spell it taryn, so people , ie, dh bloody family, dont pronounce the 'a' wrong. i have a dd and they cant pronounce her name right and it really annoys me. taryn is for a boy if that is what i have. it means rocky hill and seen as i live in the hills of scotland thought it would be nice
