I have a Tara and want to stick with a T name. Leaning towards Tegan but also like Trinity and Trudy

So sorry, OP, but I think Tegan is awful.

Of the names suggested, I think Tilly is probably the nicest and goes well alongside Tara. Tabitha is lovely too x

NoddingTulip · 19/02/2022 07:48

I know 2 Tegans one pronounces it Tee-gan which I'm not keen on. The other is pronounced to rhyme with Megan which is quite nice.

I like Trudy from your suggestions.

@AnnieSnap

I quite like Tulip
But would you like to be called it yourself, as an adult, shaking hands with your interviewer for example?

Although I’m not a huge fun of the name Tasmin I think Tara & Taz is a winning combo Star.

(It might make life easier to pick a name with a different letter - mail addressed to T.Surname will cause confusion..)

As a mum or two boys I’ve honestly never had an issue of initials causing probs

Letters to kids are normally all given full names and most go off to uni etc by time they get formal letters

StopForAMinute · 19/02/2022 09:55

I like Tegan.

ZoyaTheDestroyer · 19/02/2022 11:21

Surprised by the hatred for Teagan. I thought it was Cornish?

Trinity is a character in the Matrix or a drag queen.

Tansy?

"for example, Amelia could be from any class background."

Really? Amelia sounds posh to me.

CrackerGal · 19/02/2022 11:36

Teagan or whoever you'll spell it is really nice, I have a young family member called that & there are really not many about!
I'd say go for it, it goes well with Tara.

@CharlieBoo

My dd (12) Has a friend called Teagan.: they call her Teags.. to me it’s just such a waste when they could’ve called her a beautiful girls name.. it’s just so American and cheap sounding.. sorry 😫

Really?
It's actually Irish not American & means "little poet".

Keegan! You're going from bad to worse.

drpet49 · 19/02/2022 12:02

All 3 names are beyond awful

CloseYourEyesAndSee · 19/02/2022 12:05

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?

CrackerGal · 19/02/2022 12:19

Other T names of people I know if any help -
Tameika
Taleah
Tessa
Tina

Or other T names that are a little different:
Tatum
Tula
Tianna
Tana
Tawni
Teafa
Tuala
Tully
Torin

helpmum2003 · 19/02/2022 12:28

Tia and Tabitha go well with Tara. Not keen on your options, sorry.

NowEvenBetter · 19/02/2022 13:13

Keegan?! Christ, that’s even worse than Tegan 🥴😄

Joystir59 · 19/02/2022 13:14

Trixie

sixtiesbaby88 · 19/02/2022 13:21

Tamar

IShouldBeWriting · 19/02/2022 14:36

The Teigan I know is so awesome, I love the name.
I like the sound of Keegan too.
Tara and Katelyn?
Tara and Keira?
Tara and Natasha?

Blueexpress · 19/02/2022 18:49

@FurryGrowler

How about Tracy 😆
That’s my mothers name. Not sure why it warrants laughing? 🤔 🤨

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.

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.
