Teagan

Opinions on the name Teagan? It comes from an Irish surname meaning "descendant of Tadhgan" (meaning "poet").

I love, love, love that it comes from the word for poet. That's such a cool meaning to me. I'm just not sure if I'm sold on how the name sounds. Also, it's mainly used for girls, but I'm not sure if it sounds feminine enough.

Thoughts? (Yes, my family is Irish).

I love Irish names, but this one is just not my style. I guess it's because it doesn't sound feminine at all, to me at least.

Basically, it comes down to how much you love it and if it sounds good with your surname.

I like it.

I love, love, love Teagan. I would have used it but my sister-in-law beet me to it when she had my nephew. He is a rough & tough little boy so it's hard for me to picture it as feminine.
I'm not completely apposed to it on a girl though. After all, our girl name is Reese!

I know two little boys named Teagan and Teigan. I'm not a fan of how it sounds.

Not a name on my list but it's not horrible! I like the spelling Tegan better

It's pretty. It's not very common in my area but the few I have met have all been girls.

I've known a couple little girls named Teagan, it's NMS, but I think it sounds feminine enough and not over-used.

I have only known boys, ages 2 to 30, named Teagan. The oldest one is called Teague by his friends. Also know a doggie named Teagan--a bulldog. I don't see it as feminine enough for a girl. Also don't think it ages well. There are prettier more feminine Irish names out there.
