Teagan?

[sillyonehetpes]

I like it and rhymes with my surname.

Your thoughts?

Outdated?

I'm far too much of a basic bit h got Thalia lol

I like Teagan but I'd definitely consider if pairing it with your surname sounds too silly. If you think it sounds good and woild suit an adult as well then go for it

So I think my granddad once said that he choose his children's names based on what sounded nice when put together.

I've got an unusual last name and would often be nicknamed that.

Unfortunately i can't write it online.

I like the name Tegan that I don't think anyones opinion will change my mind lol. But I'm surprised such a negative opinion - I've only heard it once in this country.

It has a harsh sound to me, and it sounds more like a surname than a first name.

You mean like Tegan Peg or Keg or something?

In which case no, clearly that’s rubbish

So it doesn’t rhyme with your surname?

No. It sounds good.

If you like it and your surname doesn't rhyme with it then go ahead and use it

I hadn't realised it was popular in Australia, that's quite random isn't it...or does it have some origin other than welsh?

I also prefer the spelling Tegan, but possibly just because that's what I'm used to.

Tegan is Welsh and the pronunciation we would use (there are 2 correct pronunciations) would be tay-gan. Teagan is Irish and pronounced tee-gan.

I prefer the Irish pronunciation but welsh spelling

Thanks to Brexit all I can think is TEGAN DELETE THIS FFS

Tegan was a Dr Who companion in the early 80s, if you're a fan.

Okay then if it sounds good and you love the name go for it 😊

It’s not an Irish name in any spelling or pronunciation, though. That’s one of those made-up US baby name site ‘facts’.

@LittleLegsKeepGoing This spelling is the Welsh word for Toy.

Teagan is probably used in Wales more than England but it's not an Aussie name in origin.

I'm Welsh and every Tegan I know (4) all use Tegan not Teagan

They all pronounce it Tee Gan not Taygun

Thank you. How is it pronounced?

I think it’s awful.

@dwightschrutebeets fair enough. The ones I've met have all been a Tegan, but they are all younger so I don't know if that's a more modern preference from the parent perspective.

Tegan is still the Welsh for toy though. Strange thing to call your child.

FFS that should say they've all been Teagan!

What?

Ask the welsh that

Sorry, call me a snob, but Teagan is such a chavvy name. To me it conjures up parents called Tracey and Wayne and she lives on a council estate.

I think it’s awful OP but each to their own!
