Re: Tawny
in reply to a message by Perrine
I think it's the name of a poster here? Other than that, I've never heard of or interacted with anyone named it IRL.
The impression it gives me is...earthy. When I hear it, I see animal colorings and (wine) cellars and the word 'tawdry'...no people.
I'm inclined to group it with Twila, though apparently those are from different times. I think Twila sounds prettier, so I'd rather see that come back.
I'd also guess that use of Tawny was related to the popularity of Tanya / Tonya, which I don't see coming back anytime soon.
