The story of Tarynn
The first Tyrone Power was an Irish comic actor of the early nineteenth century who crossed to America for a tour and, on the way home, was lost with the steamship President, which vanished in an Atlantic storm. His great-grandson, the Hollywood Tyrone Power, starred in swashbucklers and died of a heart attack after filming a strenuous sword fight in Madrid. His daughter was named Taryn, a feminine built on his name, and other parents took it up. Tarynn doubles the final n, a spelling that grew from the original within a generation.

Fashion outlook
Tarynn sits outside the current charts, and that is its own kind of answer: naming cycles can only date the names they carried up. A name this rare has no decade stamped on it — it cannot go out of fashion, because it was never in.
