Help[Opinions] Re: Tonya
in reply to a message by Tisiphone
The only Tanya I knew whose name was short for anything was Latanya.
In the US, Tanya is almost always afull name.

Yes - it is here in the UK too. Should have been clearer, I was talking about the origins of those names and why they were not essentially the same name

In a lot of the US they are pronounced identically and therefore used interchangeably.
I pronounce them differently because I'm Australian but I have a colleague named Tanja and one named Tonya and the Americans say them identically so we have nicknames for both to differentiate.
