Well, most of the people on this site are against ANY adjustments and/or creative spellings, really. This is an etymological site, after all. Meaning words are spelled a certain way for one or several good reasons.
I LOVE the name Teadghan (spelled this way). Teagan is more of an anglicised form of the original Welsh version, but still a more common one. And Teadghan is pronounced TIE-gan as in Tiger, more or less...

Hope this helps
