I know a few male Tareks, which is quite close, but do also know a couple of (female) Taryns, so I gues it hadn't really crossed my mind before.<br /><br />I'm thinking that the last initial thing is possibly because the Lesley/lies don't make the first cut, whereas one or more of the Ashleys do. I guess we'll find out soon...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14255413992164804017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8665212445153507342.post-8252437516261517642013-01-03T15:42:25.894+11:002013-01-03T15:42:25.894+11:00I hadn't seen the Tiara connection before - ma...I hadn't seen the Tiara connection before - maybe because we pronounce it Tee-ARR-ah here in Aus? I can see where it could come from though, it's like a phonetic spelling of the different pronunciation.<br /><br />Spot on with Selma - I immediately think of the Simpsons too, forgetting about the gorgeous Selma Blair!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14255413992164804017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8665212445153507342.post-3781033137577949742013-01-03T11:09:05.090+11:002013-01-03T11:09:05.090+11:00Yes, I'm a closet fan.

I see the Tia/Sierra connection but am more inclined to believe her parents played off the idea of 'tiara,' which I've heard of before. But I think Selma is my favourite just because, apart from Selma Blair, young, attractive women are not what comes to mind when I hear it (thinking Aunt Selma from the Simpsons, for one!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8665212445153507342.post-66113483124256361392013-01-03T05:09:08.516+11:002013-01-03T05:09:08.516+11:00You know, I love the sound of Taryn.

It seems like it is just narrowly on the feminine side, like Larkin or Laken or Kester or some other names that I love finding on girls. But none of the spellings looks right. Taryn is the most common, I think - but the yn ending looks forced.<br /><br />Interesting that all three Ashleys have a last initial, while the Lesley/Leslie duo goes without ...
