I have experienced people spelling it wrong and saying it wrong as well, but that is ok. The meaning of this name will always be the same." (Report as inappropriate)

Comment left Dec 16, 2008: "well this is the I time I looked at one of these sites.. And why ?? U ask.. well I just has a beautiful baby girl and when I was pregnant, I suddenly came out with this name taina pronounced (Tie-Ee-Na) spelled a little uniquely also, daddy loved this name and while I grew bigger, I started disliking it lol.. Well now I have this little girl who didn't have a name until we were getting ready to leave the hospital lol, and I ask her "do u want ur name to be taina?" and she smiled, then I asked her the other name I had in mind .. And she put this sad face, so being since I was on some medication due to my c-section lol, I asked again .. And she did the same exact thing, smile for taina , sad face for the other name!!! So there you have it your name is taina spelled a little differently, and so far almost everyone has pronounced it wrong, even family members and most people can't spell it, but my baby girl was sure happy with it!! So in the end so am I ...." (Report as inappropriate)

Comment left Jun 13, 2007: "I named my daughter Taina after the indigenous Tainos Indians. I believe it means fairy princess. It was really important for me to name my daughter after her ancestors. This is a way of her knowing who she really is and that she comes from so much more than just a city, place, race, or color. I named her not knowing what she would look like. She truely looks like an Indian. Straight black hair, dark eyes and dark-red skin. Her personality is even Indian like. She soaks in the earth and everything in it and releases it through her energy." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left May 12, 2007: "My name is Taina and people always mispronounce and mispell it too. After a while it doesn't bother me anymore. The actual meaning derives from the Taino indians, which descended from the caribbean islands. They were an indian tribe but the were eventually mostly killed off by the Eurpoeans when they came over from Eurpoe on there discovery of the "New World" that already existed and had a way of life already. The orginally meaning of Taino is peace. When Christopher Columbus came over to the island the chief met him and said "taino" meaning peace. The orginal tribe name was the Arawaq indians. So there you go, Taina and it's history." (Report as inappropriate)
