Teagan

What do you think about the name Teagan? What would be a nickname??

I have mixed emotions about this one. I grew up with a girl whose younger brother's name is Teagan - they sometimes called him "Teag" for short. A friend of mine recently named her baby girl Teagan, and I'm not sure how I feel about that. H thinks it's p0rn star-y, but I'm not totally sure. I like the sound of it, but something keeps me from loving it, if that makes any sense. Probably because I lean toward more traditional names.

I love Teagan, it was on my short list for DD. As far as nn go I'm not sure. I have always liked nn that had something to do with personality instead if being named based.

Tegan and Sara are twin sisters who make up a Canadian band of the same name. I first heard their music in the late 90's/early 2000's. I quite liked the name when I first heard it.

I now know a teenage male Teegan and his behaviour makes me cringe; therefore, I do not like the name as much as I once did. 'Tis the life of a teacher though. *sigh*

FWIW, I prefer the spelling as Teagan.

I don't really like it.It sounds awkward to me.

this is one of those names that I am starting to loathe. It is super trendy and feels like youre trying too hard.

I know a little girl Teagan, but for some reason I've always thought it was a male name. I didn't know it was a girl's name until the band, Teagan and Sara, came out.

I like it. I would say that either tea or teag are good nicknames.

I agree with this.

I have no idea how to say this name. A little girl came into my work with this name and I said her name as "Tee-gan." Her father quickly corrected me that it was said like Meagan, but with a T.

This made me not really care for the name.

Love it, spelled Tegan. DW says no.

I'm not seeing the difference. Is Meagan pronounced like Megan? It looks like Mee-gen to me, which is how Teagan would be pronounced.

He equated Meagan to being said as "May-gan" and said his daughter's name was said as "Tay-gan." I said the name as "Tee-gan."

NMS and can't really think of any nns for it that don't sound ridiculous

When you name your kid something different I think you have to get used to it not being pronounced the way you expect it too. That being said, I read the name as he pronounced it, especially when dealing with a little girl.

OP- I like Tea (Tay) or Teah (Tay-ah) as nn. Personally, I like the name, but I grew up with someone with the name and like when really old names make a come back. Smile We considered it for our little one but my husband is on a mythology kick ATM. I love that it means poet.

I like it.

I took awhile to warm up to this name even though my sister named my niece Teagan! My sister's (and my) maiden name is Teague so it was a nod to that and our Irish heritage. She is such a Teagan now and I have grown to love it. The family calls her T.T. or just T a lot. FWIW we pronounce it like League with a T...that is how I always explained it to people.

teagan and keegan both make me gag a little bit. sorry.

I like Teagan. I went to college with a girl named Teagan, and I think it suited her really well.

It's a two syllable name. It doesn't need a nickname.

Just FYI...there is a super popular porn star out there named Teagan. It may just be me, but all I can think of when I hear that name is porno movies.

I like it a lot actually, I think Tia would be a good NN for it too, altho I much prefer the full name of Teagan
