    I like it, it's different and unique, but still very pretty and it makes me think of that classic movie star Gene Tierney who is also considered one of the most beautiful actresses ever.

    Also when she's in school, their will not be 10 other girls with the same name in the class room.

    Good luck.

    I think it's a great name!

    I think Tierney Rose is really pretty.

    My friend's baby girl's name is Tierney!

    At first, i thought, "Okay, different, but cute" I had never heard that name before.

    Now, it's just like any other name to me. Not odd or unusual. Still a unique name.

    Pronounced [Tear-ih-nee] But sounds like [Tear-nee] when it's just being said.

    I like Tierney with a feminine middle name like Tierney Sabrina or Tierney Kate but not with a middle name like Regan or Rae. ~

    That's one of my best friends names and I absolutely love it! It meant goddess in Irish. It's a great unique name.

    I love her middle and first name pair; tierney alexandrea. So pretty.

    It reminds me of the Divination teacher from Harry Potter, Trelawney.

    I think it's pretty, but it's hard to pronounce and she will probably get a lot of wrong pronunciations and mean nicknames, like teary or tears.

    It's not really my style, I've never found it that attractive or feminine for a girl

    Cute and unique.

    my first thought for how you would pronounce it would be "tyranny" if you want your daughter to ever be able to assume any leadership role I strongly recommend against it.
