I love this name! It's beautiful. Almost sounds like an Indian name.

A famous bearer is Tawny Kitaen, model and actress. I find it strange that her first name is made up but her last name is real (born Julie Kitaen).

Tawny is an Irish name meaning a green field; the warm sandy color of a lion's coat.

I can't say I find this name very pretty or pleasant-sounding, especially with a Southern drawl that makes it sound nasal and like ''TAAH-nee''. I've gotten the impression that this is actually more of a redneck name anyway, and it makes me picture a worn out-looking young woman in far too youthful and tight clothes who speaks in an annoying nasal drawl.

Trashy streetwalking name. As far as colour names go, Violet and Scarlet are leagues ahead.

I read it's also a Gypsy name meaning "little one".

I think this name would only sound right in an English accent. Us Americans over here would probably make it sound trashy instead of elegant.

It sounds trashy and slutty, and not very professional in adulthood.

A tawny owl is a type of owl. It is all different shades of brown and black, with white feathers around the eyes. Very pretty.

This name actually sounds quite nice in my English accent, it's spunky and cute, but still a little immature for a grown woman.

Tawny is a cute name - I really like it! I think it would be best as a middle name though.

For the benefit of American Tawnys, when you go to England people will pronounce this to sound sort of like TORN-ee, as in the word 'torn', but with less emphasis on the R.
