Immediately reminds me of Tawny Kitaen (RIP). The name kind of reminds me of amber stones and just seems nice and warm.

Tawny Little (née Godin) is an American television personality and a former beauty pageant titleholder. She was Miss America 1976 and Miss New York 1975.
Tawny Newsome is an American musician, comedian, and actress best known for playing Chelsea Leight-Leigh on Bajillion Dollar Propertie$, co-starring in Space Force and the third season of Brockmire, and co-hosting the podcast Yo, Is This Racist?. She is also a singer in the band Four Lost Souls. She voices one of the main characters, Beckett Mariner, on Star Trek: Lower Decks.
Tawny means "green field" in Irish, "Light brown/honey color" in English and "little one" in Native American. It can also mean "princess" "strong one" "pretty" etc. There are many translations for the name "Tawny" in various cultures all around the world with various spellings. Growing up with the name Tawny, I only received compliments on the name. As a child I was hoping for a more common name; as an adult I've grown to love and embrace my unique name. Finding out the origin of the name brings me joy. I am descendant of Irish and Native Americans, so it makes me feel closer to my ancestors. It's a lovely and cute name, and I'm happy to have been named Tawny!

Sounds like a horse's name. I don't like it on a person.
One of the earliest examples of the use of Tawny as a given name is for the title character of Donald Henderson Clarke's novel "Tawny", first published in 1936.
I'm sorry if this is your name but it sounds like a pole dancer, stripper, or porn star name. Of course Tawny has a mane of Tawny hair streaked with blonde.

I think Tawny is a pretty name. You don't hear it too often and I agree with another poster- it sounds Indian.

My horse is named Tawny. She is beautiful inside and out, a chestnut with a flaxen mane and tail. I find all of the negative comments offensive on behalf of my horse and the human Tawnys.

I'll admit that I've never been fond of the name, but I always liked how unnique it made me feel. I know I shouldn't be taking offense to the opinions of the name, because you're just talking about the name and not one particular Tawny. But, even though I give my name a rough time, I'm still fond of it. I'm also glad that there isn't some huge history with the name and we Tawny's can make it the most amazing name in the world.
My name is Tawny and it may not be the most prettiest name but it is rare for someone to have a name like this. I mean when do you come around and hear someone have the name Tawny and I would rather have Tawny as a name than a most common name that everyone has. And the people who are saying this name is ugly and any other mean comment are extremely rude. I know it's your opinion but it's not right to say that you dislike this name cause it sounds slutty. ~Tawny.
A lot of these comments are extremely rude. My name is Tawny and I always get complimented on my name. Also, this website says to leave a useful comment about the name, and saying that it sounds slutty isn't useful at all.
Love, love, LOVE this name. It reminds me of "fawn", which is my favorite animal, it's cute, and not particularly common, which just makes me love it even more.
For some reason, this name reminds me of a blonde cheerleader type girl. It's not the most intelligent sounding name. Although I have to say, it's loads better than Ashley or Brittany.

For the benefit of American Tawnys, when you go to England people will pronounce this to sound sort of like TORN-ee, as in the word 'torn', but with less emphasis on the R.

Tawny is a cute name - I really like it! I think it would be best as a middle name though.
I can't say I find this name very pretty or pleasant-sounding, especially with a Southern drawl that makes it sound nasal and like ''TAAH-nee''. I've gotten the impression that this is actually more of a redneck name anyway, and it makes me picture a worn out-looking young woman in far too youthful and tight clothes who speaks in an annoying nasal drawl.
