I’m a 26 y/o woman and I am named Tanner. Kids never made fun of it or thought of it as a “boy's name” although that is all made up anyway. If anything, it is uncommon enough that kids just assumed it was a “girl's name” and when a boy with that name came to our school everyone asked him why he had a girl's name lol. It’s grown on me. I quite like it and get a lot of compliments on if. I didn’t like it when I was in middle school but the older I get the more I feel it suits me and I wouldn’t have it any other way :-)

I have a character from my stories named Tanner, he’s dating a chick named Shelly... I don’t know why, it just sounds like a surfer dude name to me.

It’s alright as a name, I’m just put off that it reminds me of the leather tanning process. Which is kinda gross.

I usually only leave positive comments on names because I don't want to offend anyone, but to be honest I don't really like this one. When I hear this same I think of someone going to get a spray tan or something and I just think it's a weird name. But if your name is Tanner I'm sure you're pretty cool. Have a nice day everyone! :)

As far as occupational names go, this is among the least interesting. It also comes off as superlative, "Tanner than you..."

Name's Tanor, but the pronunciation is similar to Tanner, but slightly different. "Tah-ner" instead of "Tan""ner". The n isn't as sustained. The meaning and origin is different as well. My name gets compared to this one a lot, or thought to be derived from it. It's actually derived from Tanwir, which is completely different to Tanner, but I guess they rhyme in English.

I like the name Tanner. I have heard of it being used for girls, but much prefer it as a masculine name. I actually use it as a surname in my novel.

Well my name is Tanner and I'm a male. My mother named me after the older version of The Bad News Bears after that kid and he was loud and sorta mean. He also helped the little kid getting picked on in that movie and and the new movie. He was and I am a very loving person. I hate fighting and wouldn't hurt a soul. The comment about that movie is inaccurate, and I'm 6'5"- far from short.

My name actually is Tanner. I'm an adult, and can't help but resent the little kid comments. I actually don't think it's that trendy, I never hear it. And while I'm not crazy about it, I prefer it to Tyler or Gage or some of those other names out there. I can personally say that I'm not rugged, but I am an intellectual. Also, I read somewhere that the name has been used (albeit rarely) since the end of WWII. I think I met an octogenarian someplace named Tanner. Anyway. Yeah.

I know not everyone will like the same names but I do think that you should respect someone else's option to choose that name. It's fine to say that you don't like a name but to say that Tanner sounds like a lower class person is just ignorant. I have a friend that I went to school with and she had a little brother named Tanner and they were not even close to being lower class. From the 1st time I heard that name I fell in love with it so I named my son that. When I did I had never heard anyone else with that name other than my friends brother. Now I hear it a lot more but, oh well. And that name fits my son! He is cute, funny, popular and great at sports and has a heart of gold. I know being his mom you may think I am just saying all of that but that is all true anyone that has ever meet him has fallen in love with him. So a person that thinks that the name Tanner, or really any name, can make you lower class truly, you are the one that is lower class and ignorant. Because it is the person that makes you lower class not the name.

My brother's name is Tanner and I take offense to the comment that it sounds of a country lower-class name. My brother is a very intelligent little boy. He is also very sweet and funny. Tanner was a family surname and I love it.

I like the name Tanner, although the only Tanner I know is a girl. Her parents are South African, so maybe they use it more as a girl's name over there? I think Tanner is unusual, but in a good way.

I tend to like a lot of surname/occupation names but something about this one strikes me as far too trendy, I have a hard time taking it seriously sometimes.

'Tanner' makes me think of somebody who uses way too much fake tan, and is also a bit of a dipstick.

Hurrumph, I don't really like this name on either sex, but if you insist on using it, you'd better have a baby boy to give it to instead of a girl. This name sounds masculine, it's got that -er ending and everything. The name doesn't sound pretty, and it is weird to imagine that there may be adorable curly-haired toddlers in frilly dresses named Tanner. I pity the feminine and conventional girls and young women with this unattractive, boyish name that doesn't even sound very sophistocated, more like the name of lower class country guys. It does NOT sound spunky on tomboys or androgynous girls and women, and it doesn't sound cool on any other unconventional females either.

I once had a cat named Tanner. Since then, I've really liked this name. I never thought about it on a girl, but I think if I heard it, I would like it also. So, I suppose, I like on both sexes. It's such a cute name! Definitely one of my favorites.
