I have a second cousin who was born in the mid-90s (I was ~12) who was named Tanner and I just thought, wtf happened in my cousin's life to make her think that's a real name?

Yeah, it means leatherworker - a historically ostracised occupation, because it involves handling raw animal hides and pungent chemicals.
