User Comments about the name Tennille


  • Comment left Nov 14, 2009: "Hi my name is Tenielle, I am from South Africa, I have brown hair and green eyes. I find it desperately hard finding the meaning and origin of my name. I have heard that it is possibly strong willed but does anyone know for sure what the meaning is? I get called Toni, T, Toenail and Teni." (Report as inappropriate)

    Comment left Nov 06, 2009: "Tenielle, 18 from Australia. Love the name, nickname is usually Tee or my smart ass sisters call me Toenail. I've really wanted to know the meaning, the only one a found was "feminine form of perfection". Can't complain with that :P" (Report as inappropriate)

    Comment left Sep 30, 2009: "Tenille is my middle name. Of course, my mom named me after "Captain & Tenille". I am trying to find out what Tenille means & it seems like it's hard to find! I would love to find out. My first name is Alisha. :)" (Report as inappropriate)

    Comment left Sep 14, 2009: "Aloha, name is Teneille (pronounced 10-eel) and of course named after Toni Tennille. I was born in Pennsylvania and I am 26 years old blonde hair and baby blues. I have not actually met another person with the same name as me, however, I have heard of someone having the name. As for nicknames, my parents called me Neilly and my friends called me Teneille, T, and Toe(y) (as in toe*nail = te*neille). I LOVE my name! I have no idea of the meaning origin, but would love to.... I have failed to find information in the past. It was lovely to read all of the other ladies comments.... mahalo!"

    Comment left Aug 11, 2009: "My name is Tennille and I've found many captains over the years, lol. Some people who have trouble pronoucing my name end up calling me Kim which is not even close - go figure. Anyway, I agree with some of the other posts - patience, sense of humor, and beauty are all definitely traits of mine. I'm from Oklahoma, brown hair & blue eyes. I have met 2 other Tennille's and 1 Teniele." (Report as inappropriate)

  • Comment left Jul 14, 2009: "My name is Teneille, I am 24 years old and stay in South Africa.I have only met one Tenille in my life.And I have met my captain." (Report as inappropriate)

    Comment left Jul 01, 2009: "I spell it Tennille, which seems to be the more technically "correct" spelling , but also the hardest... i have found my captain too! I have been searching for the meaning of our name, and i found a few variations, all of which i think are made up , but they all sound good! French = Beauty American/Canadian/ Australian= Powerful & Strong Minded English & Irish = Princess Unknown celtic?? = Light I think they are all beautiful meanings and of course they are all true , it is a beautiful strong name! Enjoy!" (Report as inappropriate)

  • Comment left Jun 14, 2009: "My name is Tennile, and I'm from North Carolina in the USA. I'm a 26 yrs old African American female, and I've only known 2 people with the same name. I am trying to find the meaning of the name, and I found that it meant powerful & strong minded. This definition truly describes me to the fullest! Nice meeting all you other Tennile's. We do have a great name, and we are very beautiful! People always ask me where is my captain!" (Report as inappropriate)

  • Comment left Jun 07, 2009: "My name is Tennille. I am from Melbourne Australia. I have blond hair, blue eyes & many people tell me I am beautiful & so is my name. I have meet 3 Tennille's in my life & I'm turning 30 in august this year. I love having a werid name but I have when people can spell it. Like the werid names or hurtful names like toe nail or to neil down and suck.... You can finish that off. I have met many French people that say that the name is French and that it means beauty ( men who want to b slick) but I have met a French women who said the same thing. So who knows?????"

  • Comment left May 16, 2009: "Tennille is my name aswell and I spell it Tennille. I'm from Canada. People I meet always make Captain and Tennille references, infact, that's my only knowledge of where the name comes from besides for the place in Georgia. I haven't met too too many Tennille's and I have yet to meet one who spells their name alike or the same as me. it's interesting to actually see the many variations of this name there are and how almost all of them I've seen on this post have all been the various attempts others have made trying to spell mine. A person with the name of Tennille no matter how you spell it is/will likely be a person whom develops a strong sense of humour and patience and I'd say those are pretty good characteristics to have."

    Comment left Apr 30, 2009: "I am pregnant with our second child and think it is a girl. I love the name Tennille but want to spell it the most common way - I am unsure about one 'n' or two...?? Either way, it's so pretty and unusual which I like." (Report as inappropriate)
