I know of a baby Torrin (boy)

Is it just me who thinks it sounds to much like "Karen" said with a lisp? (Sorry if this offends anyone!)

lastboxoftampons · 11/03/2009 16:34

It's the name of my 4 year old nephew's imaginary friend!

Taryn is definitely a Welsh GIRLS name. I rather like it, along with Tyrion - DP can't be convinced though.

I grew up in South Africa and knew a Taryn. I love the name, and dearly wish I could use it, but it doesn't go with our surname at all.

I know two girls called Taryn - one who is 19 and loves her name, and the other about 2 years old - no idea what she thinks of her name.

I think it is beautiful.

According to Beyond the Name Taryn was invented as a female form of Tyrone by Tyrone Power and Linda Christian for their daughter Taryn Power (1953-).

Another variation is Terynn, I prefer that.

tigerdriver · 08/03/2009 00:04

no, don't

GillN1976 · 08/03/2009 00:01

I really quite like this name. I came across it in a book a long time ago and the character was a little girl and I always liked it after that.

ramonaquimby · 07/03/2009 16:41

A friend's sister is called Tarryn - really like it

ComeWhineWithMe · 07/03/2009 16:24

Pne of my ds's bedt friends is called this he is 11 and lovely .

Littlefish · 07/03/2009 16:23

I don't like it.
It sounds made up, and the spelling makes it look made up as well.

Sorry.

TheThoughtPolice · 07/03/2009 16:22

I also went to school with a Taryn.

If you are looking for Welsh girls names then Seren is nice (it means 'star').

SmallShips · 07/03/2009 15:59

I went to school with two Taryns, one male, one female.

Not sure if i like it for either TBH.

Hulababy · 07/03/2009 09:05

Never heard of the name so no idea if by/girl.
Not keen personally.

ScummyMummy · 07/03/2009 09:02

There was a Sweet Valley High book featuring a love-starved, materially spoilt little rich girl called Tarryn, who lived in Malibu and was au paired by the twin main characters during a summer vacation.

that I read such crap and still remember it.

pramspotter · 07/03/2009 08:51

I also went to school with a Taryn. She was gorgeous and popular and everyone always wanted to hang out with her.

hester · 06/03/2009 22:10

I was at school with a Taryn - so she'll be in her 40s now. Nice name, I think.

ilovemydogandMrObama · 06/03/2009 22:08

I know a Taryn (female, not a girl as she's about 25 now!)

MoshiMoshi · 06/03/2009 22:06

Not heard of it before and am a bit averse to names which require help in spelling.

dizzydixies · 06/03/2009 21:35

I know of a female Taryn too

CilC · 06/03/2009 19:17

This was quite popular/common in Australia about 20 years ago as a girl's name. I taught many! Hmmm... never really liked it though - sorry.

atowncalledalice · 06/03/2009 17:59

I'm fairly sure it's a Welsh boys' name. It's lovely for a boy!

charlie1000 · 06/03/2009 17:52

My DS1 has a Tarrin in his class. It's a boy. Haven't heard it as a girl's name but actually I kinda like it
