Prefer Tegan to Taz or Trina. Taz and Trina surely have to be short for something. They are odd otherwise.

@Cheekypeach

Tegan/Teagan is gorgeous. MNers give their kids stale names in the hope they’ll be a high court judge but none of them are. The only people judging on names is them.

I also like Brooke, Piper, Poppy and Kyla.

[quote AnnieSnap]@Blueexpress given your response about posters who don’t like your name choices and that you are so confident in liking the names, why are you asking on a public forum? Not being snippy here. It’s a genuine question! 🤷‍♀️[/quote]
I’m not that confident about them actually. I appreciate the genuine feedback, It’s just the snobbishness that I don’t like.

Because it’s not that people don’t ‘like’ the name it’s that they’re judging it purely by bizarre snobby preconceptions. It clouds the water as to whether it’s a ‘nice sounding’ name or not & is irrelevant

In fact I just went onto a London law chambers website, and the names of their barristers are quite a mix. There was a:
Rex
Leanne
Kirsty
Cathlyn
Jodie
Avril
Rihanna

It’s hilarious that the try-hard snobs on here aren’t making a blind bit of difference to their kids career outcomes 😂

@CloseYourEyesAndSee

Keegan for a girl? Like Kevin? Your name choices are all quite unappealing. What is it about Tegan and Trudy that appeals apart from the T?
Well that’s fine obviously I don’t find them unappealing or else I wouldn’t be considering them. It’s fine not to like a name but can’t believe how snobby some folk can be about names. Trudy is classical and Tegan is different and I think it’s pretty. Keegan cause I like the way it sounds. Taz is nice.
