Teagan?

[sillyonehetpes]

I like it and rhymes with my surname.

Your thoughts?

@sillyonehetpes
The 90s were 3 decades ago.
I really don't like the name Teagan or Tegan (autocorrect keeps changing it to Teagarden which I think is better)

Thanks. I love it!

No!

Teagan Beginagain

I went to school with three Tegans so dated to me & I personally don’t like the name .

As CountMushroom mentioned, I am Irish, and I live in the US. Names like Teaghean, Keaghean, Loghann, Broghann, etc, are 100% made-up attempts to convey Irishness by means of extra vowels and liberal use of the letter H. 'Plastic paddyism' is a useful term for this sort of malarkey.

Love it, but not if it rhymes with surname. Your child will never be a CEO if you do that as they will never be taken seriously

Teagan is the anglicized form of the Gaelic Ó Tadhgáin, which means “descendant of Tadhgán.” The first name Tadhgán is a form of “tadhg,” meaning “poet,” “attractive,” and “philosopher.” It has been a popular girls' name since debuting at the turn of the century, and it made the boys' chart just a few years later.

Great name but not sure on the spelling.
Tegwen is lovely.

I like the name, only ever known one at DS’ school, she had Australian parents lovely little girl.

The 90s was 4 decades ago...

Omg I missed my 40th birthday! I could've sworn being born in 1992 I was 31...

Ireland does not claim Teagan.

Tegwen sounds like an 80 yr old woman.
Kate Humble's dog is called Teg.

Four decades. I didn't say 40 years

2020s
2010s
2000s
1990s

That's a shame

I'm also Irish, living in Ireland and know of 3 girls aged 21 and under with this name. One spelt tegan. 2 of the parents as well as liking it, used it as it was an Irish name.
If its also a name from other counties Scotland, Wales and the States etc, that's great.
I do find your use of this term offensive. You being Irish makes no difference.
We all can like or dislike names. But I don't see the need to mock names.

I'm mocking the Oirishness, @Dora33.

Basically, the idea that adding random Hs, Es, and GHs makes a name Irish...

I really dislike the name. Sorry.

@sillyonehetpes a decade is literally 10 years. That could mean 1993 to 2003, that’s a decade. It’s used in the same way as a dozen means 12. So four decades ago was 1983. Four decades literally means 40 years. It does not mean 1990, 2000 etc.

You be quiet!!!

I'm an Aussie and know a few Teagan's and a Teegan all pronounced Tee-gan.
1 is Teegz, Teeg-y, TeegyTeegz depending on my mood, so be prepared for that i guess. I like the name and it has a nice meaning.

Some Aussies may relate it to 'Baby Teagan' i guess but you wouldnt have to worry about that.

To me they are still names, but I don't think we will agree on that.

but Teagan is a very old Irish name
There is even a place in wicklow ireland Kiltegan (Irish: Cill Téagáin, meaning 'church of Tegan') named after saint tegan who founded the church as a disciple of St Patrick.
Any OP, go with your instinct if you like a name. Hope all goes well

I hate it when people describe names as chavvy, but where I live it would be described as such, sorry.

Thank you.
