I'll explain Taryn because I explained Ripptyd, since I've always had trouble having people even pronounce it. LOL.
I was supposed to be named Tara Lynn. BUT miraculously, a neighbor moved in with a new baby named....Tara Lynn. Mom wasn't having that and just smooooooooshed the names together to make Taryn.
I like my name. I really do. I used to dislike being different with my name. But I've learned to love it.
The only bit that's annoying is when people somehow get Terrence, or Torrence, or Travis out of my name. It seems like they look at it and just think of a random name when they can't pronounce it. LOL.
