Middle names for Callum or Teagan

[LittleRascal]

Hi there
Due date approaching and still undecided. Would like Irish names so have kind of narrowed it down to a boy- Callum and a girl- Teagan
(Any other suggestions would be great!)

But what we are really stuck on is the middle names. any suggestions????
TIA

Callum is Gaelic..originally scottish i think...but a irish saint bought the name to Ireland and so it became popular there...thats why its known as both.

thanks idobelieve- read that somewhere too!

DH loves Aoife and Oisin. I dont want to go as "traditional" irish as different spellings.
And i really like the idea of Fionn or Finlay or Finn as the middle name- short, 1 syllable and will go with our surname.

Callum Ray

Teagan Faye

I liked Orla and Aoife as well, but Dh veteod them!

Oh you have re-ignited an old regret (although I doubt very much that you can re-ignite a regret, but nevermind)...

DD2 is Teagan and we completely forgot to give her a middle name < div emoticon> (well, it was so much hard work deciding on her first name, right before the registry office appointment, that when the registrar asked us for a middle name, an awkward silence filled the room: we had forgotten to chose one).

Will follow thread with interest (and bitterness )

[LittleRascal]

regina- !what do people shorten your DD2 to? I love this name!!

blinks- cant do faye or ray but SO close to what I am looking for!!
this is getting exciting!

She mainly is Teags and Teagy. I call her Teagy Boo, and TeagTeag when she was a baby (my dad misunderstood and has been calling her TicTic for 3 years now ). Her dad calls her The Steag, as a reference to his hero . Some of my mates call her The Teagster, which is quite funny.

One thing that really annoy me though is when people call her Teagunnn. I am forever correcting the ils and calling her TeagAn in front of them.

But great feedback from everyone in general. it's a great unusual name without it being too FIfitrixibelle-y, if you see what I mean.

[LittleRascal]

at your dad!!!
I agree!!
