Baby Names

Boy or girl name.

I have loved the name Teagan for a girl since we had my son in 06.  We have decided on it for a girl name for our 3rd baby but are struggling with a boys name.   So my question is:

 Does Tegan for a boy also?

Re: Boy or girl name.

  • I definitly can see it as a boys name also!
  • Does Tegan work for a boy also?  Guess I can't type =)

  • According to baby name wizard Teagan is more popular as a girls name then boys name, but yes it is also used as a boys name. The only Teagan I know is a girl, so have a hard time picturing it on a boy.

    A lot of years and a million tears finally led me to you.

  • A lot of people will say it's just a boy's name, but it's in the top running for our girl's name, I love it!

    I think it sounds very feminine for a boy.

    Actually, the only Tegen I know is a boy!
  • I have to say it doesn't work for a boy. I think Teague could work for a boy though.

  • I love the name but really think it sounds best for a girl. Like PP said, it sounds feminine for a boy to me.

  • Honestly, I really don't like it for a boy or a girl, but I do think it sounds too feminine for a boy.

  • Teagan means "beautiful" in welsh.  It's a girls name.

  • I think it better suits a boy. I don't think I know any girls with this name.
  • I guess it could work for a boy, but it sounds feminine to me. I prefer Tiernan for a boy, or Teague.


  • IMO, it is a girls name.

  • I only think of it as a boy's name. Just looks masculine to me.

  • It doesn't sound feminine at all to me

    I think it can go either way, but my first thought is definitely girl.  It's on our girl list.
  • It goes both ways but I think of it as more of a girl name.

  • I am not a fan of the Teagan/Keagan names at all. Although it seems they started as boy names, I have only heard them used for girls. I think it's a fairly feminine name to give a boy.

  • I really like Teague for a boy.
  • I always thought of it as a boys name and didn't realize lots of girls have it. (that's happening to tons of names lately, though). We're thinking of Teague for our boy...that's a little more masculine.
  • I think so! God for it!
  • They only Teagen I know is a boy. I didnt even think if it as a girl name until thebump ladies mentioned it.
  • I think of is as a girl's name.  Keagan is a boy's name that is very similar.  Not sure if that's an option.

  • I think of it as a girls name only - i've never heard it used for a boy.

  • So weird, I was going to post this same question myself yesterday. 

    We are also considering the name for our little boy.  I've heard it used for both boys and girls so I think it's absoulutley apropriate for a little boy.  On most websites I've looked at, it means "poet." 

    And if you need further validation that it's a boys name, there's a player on the Chicago Blackhawks hockey team named Teigan Zahn.  Smile   I think that's the spelling that we're going to go with.

  • I think it can definitely be a boy's name.  I love it and would personally use it as a girl's name, but it can go either way IMO.
