I think of port, which makes it the contrast to Ruby.
It also sounds pretty 60s like Twyla, Dawn, Sherry, fringe coats.I like it more than Saylor.

For some reason I like it, but I know I would never use it.

I don't really like it, sorry. :(
It sounds like "fawny".
However, I don't HATE names, only if they are inappropriate, like Titty, etc.

It’s my board handle on another site and is in reference to an owl. The leader of a brownie unit in the uk is brown owl. We also have Tawny Owl, Snowy Owl, Eagle Owl and Barn Owl (Barney).I have never met anyone called Tawny but I wouldn’t find it odd if I did. I don’t mind it.

I hate it. I don’t use “hate” for names often, but I really do. There’s something especially saccharine, sticky, sickly, sweet about it, and I picture an older blonde woman that just doesn’t have her life together. I much prefer, and actually like, Tansy though, which I think is kind of similar.

I'm not a big fan and I wouldn't use it. In certain texts "tawny" is used to describe skin color and in most cases it's meant in a derogatory way (I'm thinking like, older British plays or some American classics and can't get that connotation out of my view of the name)

I like it, it's more of an offbeat nature name but not unusable. Very sassy and spirited.

It's pretty.

It's exactly the kind of name chosen for herself by a woman famous mostly for looking sexy in music videos. So much so that it is almost unbelievable, like if you read it in a novel you'd roll your eyes at the clicheness of it.
It's like Bubbles that way.

Probably first used as a given named for the title character in the 1946 novel "Tawny" by Donald Henderson Clarke:https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13054084-tawnyNot my style as a name -- I don't care for adjectives as given names, because of how they seem to create a meaningful phrase with the surname. But it certainly fits in with other modern names like Misty, Rowdy, and Precious.

It is cute. It sounds like the name of a woodland fairy in a children's story. Tinker Bell and Tawny went on an adventure. I wouldn't use it for a child, but I would use it for a character.

I’ve loved this name ever since I first heard it from “Even Stevens”

It's pretty tawdry. I kind of like it, although I wouldn't want to be a Tawny.

Cheese-y and kitschy. A cute pet name, though.

I knew a dog named Tawny; he had a fling with the bitch next door and they produced a puppy which was named Fawny. I found both names awful by themselves and sick-making when used together.

Well. I'd have definitely thought Tawny would be the female in that scenario. And I'd still find that kind of cute. Fawny is dreadful.
