Help[Opinions] Tawny
Do you like Tawny? Chances of a comeback? There is a main character on a popular show named this at the moment (Cloak and Dagger).

Hard to make a "comeback" when it was never popular in the first place.
It's totally low-rent and tacky. Like Misty and Bambi. Like aging strippers with big fakies and huge eighties hair.

If this were used on a stripper character in a movie, I would expect real strippers to speak out about how these stereotypes are totally unfair and their names are much classier in real life.

Port...
My grandfather enjoys Tawny Port. It also sound like the name of either an exotic dancer or drag queen..

I got carded recently at the liquor store. I motioned to my purchase and joked, “got a lot of teenagers sneaking in to buy nice 20-year tawny ports, eh?”
The cashier was not amused.

I went through the list of characters from Cloak & Dagger, there doesn't seen to be a Tawny. Maybe you meant Tandy?
Anyway, I don't care for Tawny, its pretty dated to the 80s like Tiffany. I don't think it will make a comeback anytime soon, only 6 girls were named Tawny in 2018.

I think it's fine. Not something I'd use, but not bad on someone else's child. A nice enough sound.

I think of tawny blonde hair and tawny owls. It's fine as a nn, maybe for Dawn or Antoinette.

I don't like it because of the aw part. That spelling just disagrees with me somehow. Don't like Dawn either. And I don't usually go for T names very much. Otherwise I think it's a nice enough modern name.
Amber, Brandy, and Tawny are all very similar styled IMO. They're the Ruby, Scarlett, and Sienna of the 70s-80s.
I like Brandy and Sienna but not the others very much.

The Tawny Frogmouth owl... don't love it

Reminds me of the color.

I think it's the name of a poster here? Other than that, I've never heard of or interacted with anyone named it IRL.
The impression it gives me is...earthy. When I hear it, I see animal colorings and (wine) cellars and the word 'tawdry'...no people.
I'm inclined to group it with Twila, though apparently those are from different times. I think Twila sounds prettier, so I'd rather see that come back.
I'd also guess that use of Tawny was related to the popularity of Tanya / Tonya, which I don't see coming back anytime soon.

I kind of like, but it also feels really tacky to me.
