HelpRe: Tanya

No, I've never liked it. (I think I've almost always heard it to rhyme with John-ya. I've also very often seen it spelled Tonya.)
It just sounds like an obnoxious, mouthy person who always has to get her two cents in even when they're not wanted.

The only Tanya I knew whose name was short for anything was Latanya.
In the US, Tanya is almost always afull name.

Yes - it is here in the UK too. Should have been clearer, I was talking about the origins of those names and why they were not essentially the same name

In a lot of the US they are pronounced identically and therefore used interchangeably.
I pronounce them differently because I'm Australian but I have a colleague named Tanja and one named Tonya and the Americans say them identically so we have nicknames for both to differentiate.
