Personal experiences with the name Taryn: | Edit

First Taryn I ever met was a male! Argh! Hehe

The first time I saw this name was on one of those "It's a girl" signs people put outside their house. I rememer thinking it was an odd name, but my friend thought it was comon because she had a neighbor with that name. I fell in love with the sound of it instantly because I had already loved the male name Torin for a girl and thought this was a cute variation.
