Beagan?

[WillowTreeBranch]

NN Bea?

Why on earth would you give your son a non-name (and a ridiculous one at that)

It's not a non-name. It's an actual name. Most common as a surname, but still an actual name. And it's not pronounced like vegan.

Northern I'm guessing that also counts for names like Ciaran then, yes? Where their means are "little dark one"???

I really dislike it, sorry.

It'd be pronounced Be-ugan, wouldn't it? Beag, meaning small.

If you're Irish and live in Ireland it sounds nice! It's pronounced sort of big-earn yes? It sounds good in an Irish accent but I think English people would say it weird and it wouldnt sound great

Oh, no, sorry I really don't like it. Bogan, beagle and bogey all spring to mind.
Not to mention, Bea is 100% a girl's name, sorry!!

If you love it, use it op. I would pay attention to people's reactions on here though. Irl folk will be kinder, but I would hate to know they are likely thinking negative things about my beautiful baby's name.

No I don't like it, sorry.

I don't like it sorry.
How about Beatrice nn Bea.

I immediately thought of the Night at the Museum 2.
Brandon? Brendan? ...Brundun.

No from me.

Also too close to 'bogan' which is a type of Australian chav (sorry to sound judgemental there, not sure how else to explain).

This was my immediate association too.

Beagan means 'a little' in Irish. 'Beagan aran' means 'a little bread'.

If you're Irish and live in Ireland it sounds nice! It's pronounced sort of big-earn yes? no!

It sounds good in an Irish accent

Irish accents, like English accents, can be very different.

I know a young Braegan, I'm not a massive fan of his name but you may like it?

Oh god- don t suggest she calls a boy Beatrice- she might do it.....

Beagan means 'a little' there's beathag if you're want bea (pronounced bay-hak)

Cross post just saw you know that. I think if I heard it I'd find it strange but I know folk called brogan and can't work out why their folks called them

Sorry I'm Scottish Gaelic should have said

My misty memories of Irish tell me beagán would be pronounced /bjugo:n/ . Or "byugawn" in ordinary spelling.
Any takers?

Goodness. The baby name threads have lost their mind today.

How many rude uneducated replies on here
It is a name. You might not like it but it is a name.
Fine not to like a name but to be rude to the OP seriously some people on here are rude for rudes sake.

For what it's worth OP I'm neutral with the name but if you like it go for it.

I'm Irish.
You don't need to write Gaelic when you are talking about the language spoken in Ireland. We speak English and we also speak Irish.

I am 36, soon to be 37, and I have never heard of this name. If it has no fada accent on it then it is meaningless anyway.

Have you made this one up?
It sounds like a breed of dog any rhymes with beer can.
Just no.
