My name is Dyron. To date, I am the only Dyron I've ever met. Like most people, I've met Byrons; but I've also met a Myron, a Tyron, and even a Vyron. I've met Darrens, Dylans, and Darwins, of many and varied spellings.
My name has defined me in a number of ways. First, it has made me more outgoing than I think my personality would normally have allowed. Second, it has allowed me the special privelege of being remembered by people - even if I'm only remembered as "the guy with that different name, now what was it?" Also, it has left me with an uncertainty as to how my parents felt about me...it seems a lot of kids were named a meaningful name, one which defined the attributes of the child (or at least what the parents hoped the attributes of the child would be). My mom always told me that she "made my name up." So now I'm a guy that has no meaning? Am I made up?
Well, I finally figured out what I mean. I finally have a personal identity. The way I found out is interesting - Marria and I were selecting an alternative name for the child I have currently dubbed "Smeagol." And as we swept the "D's" in this fantastic book, we settled upon "Dyronisha."
WHAT A FIND! I WONDER IF "DYRON" IS IN HERE TOO?
And there, plain as day, was me - the part of me I never understood. WHO AM I? WHY AM I HERE?
Apparently, I'm a lover of the ocean. I'm mercurial. Finally, I am at peace. And won't Dyronisha be excited to be named after her daddy, never having to deal with uncertainty of self-meaning?

Well here I am sitting in my office late @ night board out of my mind...went to google and typed my oops our name in and you web site wast the Im feeling lucky button. Well it is nice to know that there is someone with the same name.
Dyron
P.s nice website!!!!
I was googling for ppl with the same name as me. and i seen your blog. I am 22 and from Winfield, Tn about an hour northwest of Knoxville, Tn. I, like you, have wondered where the name Dyron came from. My mother told me that while she was in labor in 1987 she was watching the UT Volunteers play basketball and there was a player named Dyron Nix. I've found his name on Wikipedia but still haven't found a way of reaching him. I feel like my lifelong goal is to somehow speak to him and ask him How he was named Dyron. As far as the baby book's explanation of the name, I am unintrigued. I feel like this name is too rare to be given a meaning yet and would much rather it be undefined for now. I feel there is many more of us to come and it's far too early to compare the name Dyron to any of the others in that book. I would love to hear back from you in an email to chat. If I do not then I guess you don't use this blog anymore. But i only wish i could have found this sooner
Hope everyone likes the name we've selected!
We have something in common dearest - I also feel my name helped in making me much more outgoing than I would have naturally been...people also always want to know more about my name.
It also helps me to figure people out - I have issues with people who don't take the time to at least attempt a correct pronunciation of someone's name - I'd say they are too self-involved to care.
Names are definitely important!
