i have yet to run across any boys named taryn. i think its more of a girls name. but now adays who knows.i am always getting told its a nice and unusual name. hard for some to pronounce.

My name is Taryn & I love IT!!!
My parents got it off star search and they both liked it. I cannot find keychains with my name on them either but I love my name because it's unique, beautiful, and different.

taryn is a welsh name and is not pronounced tar-rin but pronounced tar-ren like darren with a t. it means thunder and i think it is a very strong name and would suit a boy better than a girl

I have never come across a boy name Taryn spelled like I spell it. I have ALWAYS gotten compliments on my name, and everyone always remembered me because of it. I loved having a different name, so I came up with a different name to give my daughter too.

i know a few boys named taryn and only 2 girls. it also means earth.

I have met or known 7 or 8 Taryns and they are all female, like me! I think the y makes it sort of girly. I've seen only one boy and he spelled it Tarran. Also, I've heard it's been derived from Tara and Erin, as well as being related to Karen...sooo, hmmm....

I named my little girl this name. I have never heard of a boy named Taryn either. I found that the name meant "rolling hill". But if the name means "Thunder" it suits her. She is energenic and strong willed. : )

I am currently pregnant with a son and have spent several months "discusing" baby names with my husband and we both have decided on the name Taryn for our baby. Neither one of us have known any in our time so hopefully nobody will think of it as to girly for him.

So i have yet to meet a boy named Taryn,but i have a beautiful girl named Taryn Elizabeth...as I understand it the name is Gaelic and means"rocky craig"whatever it means i didnt name her because of the meaning but because of its uniqueness...there is not aTaryn in her class or her entire school for that matter...lets be original folks!!

My 18 year old son's name is Taron. He is the only boy with his name that I have met. His nickname is Taz.

She was called Taryn... pronounced Tar - in.

Taryn is a girls name that has no exact origin but can mean many things it means Tender/innocent -Scots/Gaelic, rocky hill -Irish/Gaelic, thunder -Norse/Celtic, of the earth -Latin, Tower -English, the reaper -Greek, wild goat -Hebrew, to carry -Arabic, young -Sanskrit, queen -Greco/Roman, and little princess -Scandinavian. It's usually a boys name if you spell it like- Tarran or Taron.

My son Taryn is now 15. All his life he has been the only Taryn that is a boy.... have only ever come across one other Taryn(girl). He has often been called Taz. Taryn is not a girls name but unisex. I have seen it meaning "Thunder" I have also seen it meaning "Fire" neither meaning would be considered girlie.
Give your baby an unusual name it makes life interesting!!

My grandson who age 2 is named Tarran and the meaning Thunder would suit him well...I have never met another boy with his name but I love it for boys..sounds strong
