Beagan?

[WillowTreeBranch]

NN Bea?

Oh sorry, for a boy. Well, don't call him Bea then. You could call him B or Bee but it'll sound like Bea which will be in 'A Boy Named Sue' territory.

No don't like it.

Watch out Beagans about I'm cracking up!!

I think Beagan has just taken out the position previously held by Balonz.

According to the website I just found, it's a surname not a first name.

Its a surname. Also, how is it pronounced? Is it Bee-gan or Beh-gan or Bay-gan? Seeing it written makes me think of Fagan from Oliver Twist for some reason.

All of the above means I'm not a fan.

Oh, no. I've heard it as a surname. Don't do it.

How is it pronounced?

Bea is a name I associate with girls.

There are so many actual names (I have a book of 1000). Why do people have to start making up stupid pretendy ones to blight their poor unsuspecting babies with???

If someone told me their DC was called Beagan I'd assume

a) they liked The Walking Dead and,
b) they had a cold

No.

You absolutely cannot use Bea for a boy. It's cruel and unusual.

Are you about to give birth btw? If so put the baby book down till he's here and then decide. Pre-birth hormones do weird things.

If it's Irish, is it Beagán? Which means a little bit (byug-awn). In any case, it's not a proper name.

flowers why can people not educate themselves?

Yes, it's known as a surname? A bit like Hunter, Jackson, Parker, etc.

Well Parker is a terrible first name imo. The others you're listing are far more well known,. This doesn't even have a nice meaning.

Brogan would be better.

It actually is an Irish name; but the fact that no one's ever heard of it tells you how utterly shite it is.
Why do you suspect it's not popular, op?

Even Gobnait is more well known. And no one has ever accused Gobnait of being a nice name.

Little one is quite a nice meaning... Especially for a preemie, but never mind. I get the gist.

Its irish and means small or small one. It's not pleasant pronounced in my Ulster dialect (bug-an) really a surname tbh.

Xpost!

@MitzyLeFrouf Ooof. Shots are being fired, as da kidz say.

You called?

I know someone with this as a surname. I'm not mad about it a short a first name. It's a bit like Regan, which I also dislike.

Why on earth would you give your son a non-name (and a ridiculous one at that) and then shorten it to a girls name?

You will be forever correcting people and explaining that 'no, it's not Vegan, it's Beagan. Yes, Bea. Yes, he's a boy.'

Why? Why would you do that?

*as a first name

Seriously, my phone's autocorrect hates me.

Are your names boris and megan?

Little one is not a nice meaning when he's 26 and 6ft tall and 20 stone playing hooker for the Welsh rugby team. Names that are cute for babies are never good as adults
