Teagan?

[sillyonehetpes]

I like it and rhymes with my surname.

Your thoughts?

I am Welsh thanks which is why I think it's an awful name.

As I've also mentioned, the only Welsh people I know call their child the Teagan variation rather than Tegan.

You may as well call your child Cadair or Ffenestr.

Teagan is lovely, i considered it for my first DD but went with something else in the end, I prefer it pronounced Tee- gan

Lol did you know any Tegan's!

Dreadful.

I think it's lovely OP. Unusual, although i have heard of it but don't know anyone or anyone at DCs school with the name.

I think you've confused everyone by saying it rhymes with your surname.
Many people don't read every post and will have missed your update that it doesn't in fact, rhyme with your surname.

I mean, I personally don't like the name, but there is nothing wrong with it per se, that's just personal choice.

Mind, I am not sure why you would ask on an internet forum and then say, 'well, despite all the negative feed back, I'm still going to use it'. Why ask then ?

Same!

It's part of the decision process

I haven't written "decide if I should name my child this".

It's a dated, chavvy name from the 1990s, OP.

There are much better names than Teagan.

I know one and the PP who mentioned chavviness is correct.

The 90s was four decades ago.....

Think Kate Humble"s Welsh sheepdog bitch is called this.

No need to make us all feel old, OP 😂

All the ones I've known have been Tegans, pronounced Tee-gun - I expect there are regional variations and this is the bastardised Swansea pronunciation because I appreciate that's not how those letters are actually pronounced in welsh.

The 90s was four decades ago.....

Well, two and a half

It's part of the decision process

That's why I assume people ask on here, but you wrote :

I like the name Tegan that I don't think anyones opinion will change my mind lol.

I'm not a big fan really, it's dated and for me in the same group as names like Liam, Shane, McKenzie, Wayne, Chantelle. No offence to anyone with those names, they just remind me of my 90's working class/ small town upbringing, so I dont see them as very modern or interesting.

Well it's 3 decades since 1993, so not quite.

No. So many alternatives.

Yes quite a few when I worked as a Nursery Nurse in a chavvy area of Essex! 🙈

absolutely atrocious

@ZoraMipha 2020s, 2010s, 2000s, 1990s.....

I love it. Anyone who calls a name 'chavvy' is not worth listening to. Ignore the snobs, OP.

@sillyonehetpes , *Tegan is Welsh and the pronunciation we would use (there are 2 correct pronunciations) would be tay-gan.

There is only one Welsh pronunciation. TEG-ann. It's the word for toy.

It's a lovely name with a nice sound (tee - gan) . It's an Irish girls name ( meaning little poet and is derived from tadhg.
