User Comments about the name Tanya
Comment left Oct 22, 2008: "I'm a Tanya (Tan as in suntan.) My namesake is also Tanya Tucker. My mom was/is a big fan. Thank the Lord she got her way. My father wanted to name me Charmaine(no offense to the Charmaines out there). I used to hate my name. Everyone always pronouncing it Tawn-ya. Now after 25+ years I'm actually proud of my name as I have come to realize how rare and unique it is. I've only met one other Tanya and it was at a friend's Christmas party. I kept on hearing "Tanya Lynne stop that!" "Tanya Lynne don't do that!" Freaked me out because it was my first AND middle name they were using and I didn't know what the heck I was doing wrong. Turned out there was a little girl with the same name at the party." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Oct 21, 2008: "My name is Tonya.I pronounce it "tawn-yeh." I think my name is hot...Since it's Russian, I like to say it with a beat...Like "Kat-i-a" (caught-E-ah) "Ton-y-a" (tawn-E-ah) but it's fast..... i dig it....only strange thing is that my step-sister , 3 months younger, is also name Tonya...actually I am Tonya Nickole and she is Tonya Nichole....we don't really get along...she is a gemini and i am a pisces... which is funny because now my boyfriend is a gemini.... and yeah...it definitely means queen of the faires" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Oct 07, 2008: "My name is Tanya. I've always liked it since its not very common. plus i love that it is spelt with an A instead of the more common way with an O. And it is pronounced Tahn- ya NOT Tan-ya. if you looked up the origin its Russian and i hate that the southern US states have messed up the pronunciation. if you go up north or overseas no one ever mispronounces it."

Comment left Jul 22, 2008: "YAY I'm Tanya and it's great to see so many people with the same name! Esp. because I'm Asian and not many people where I come from (Singapore) have even heard of the name. The thing that gets me is the pronunciation: is the 'Tan' like 'going out in the sun and getting a TAN', or is it more like 'TAHn'? Sometimes when people say it both ways the problem feels more like an American or English accent problem. My mum says TAN-ya, but TAHn-ya sounds more sophisticated to me. Is it really up to me to decide which I like better or is there really a correct pronunciation to it?

Comment left Jun 28, 2008: "My name is Tanja and I hated it most of my life. People ALWAYS spell and pronounce it wrong. My name is pronounced "tawn-ya" and people always call me "tan-ya" but mostly "tan-ja" which is annoying. My mom is German, and that's how you spell Tanya in German. It was annoying. Now I'm pregnant with a little girl and I have no idea what to name her!" (Report as inappropriate)

Comment left Jan 31, 2008: "I'm Tanya; people almost always spell my name Tonya. (I think the Tonya Harding incident is a big reason for that.) It use to be mispronounced more than it is now -- people would say TAN (like the tan you get at the beach)-yuh. I don't know many and have always liked my name. I worked with a Russian guy who always called me Tatiana. :-)" (Report as inappropriate)
