Baby Names

Teagan ...

This has been my guilty pleasure name for a girl for a while... Now I'm seriously considering using it for my little girl... Last name starts with an R, 3 syllables ... Opinions??

Re: Teagan ...

  • Sorry, but I think it should remain a guilty pleasure name. I just don't see the appeal for a boy or girl.

  • I don't care for the name. It is some weird cross of Reagan and another name...even though I think it's pronounced tee-gin (with a hard /g/ sound).

    It's just not my style, sorry!

  • Love it! I am very much a fan of Irish names (my girls both are) and Teagan is one of the more well known ones with other being too popular.

  • I love Teagan. Do you have a middle name picked out?

  • Teagan is on of my guilty pleasure names too but I can't use it because my SIL has a little boy named Teagan. I say that if you like it, GO FOR IT! I think it is one of those names that people love but are too afraid to use. 
  • I have a niece named Teagan and I will admit that it took awhile to grow on me, but now I love it.  Teague was my sister's (and my) maiden name so it was used as a twist on the Irish family name.
  • I love it! :)

  • I love it! My God daughter just turned 5 and her name is Teagan Kathleen. When my friend came up with this name while pregnant, I'll admit I did side eye her a bit. But the name really fit her, as a baby, toddler and child, and gives her a strong name for the teenage years and adult hood. Bonus points for it being a real name with a cultural background.

  • I've known a Teagan for a few years now through a mutual friend, and every time I hear her name its like nails on a chalk board to me. The name to me sounds like its trying very hard to be unique and cool but it just isn't. I just don't like the flow of the name, it sounds like a last name to me. It is however becoming very popular because I have seen it pop up quite a bit lately on a few boards. Sorry, this sounds harsh but its my honest opinion.
  • I used to work at a Stride Rite Store and it seemed like we always had a style named Teagan. I can't disassociate it with shoes in my mind!
  • Love it, obviously! We know a few other Teagans, a few over 20, but most school age. I only know one male Teagan, I've always found it strange on a boy. It's definately not a last name, and I giggle at it being a shoe, that means it's becoming more common (I wouldn't care about that, who remembers what their shoe was named). We paired Teagan with a much less common Welsh name (and I realise we've used the Irish spelling); Teagan Eleri.

    What was nice about how this name grow up with a girl, is after seeing it on the older Teagans, they were both quiet, good natured, and into the arts, which is what my Teagan is!
