Comments for the name Teagan

The origin of Teagan is actually Welsh. Meagan is a derivative of this name and is now more commonly seen without the first 'a'.

I've always loved this name, Welsh or Irish.

I really love this name. I love to use it for my story characters because it's unique and interesting.

I first heard this name on an episode of "Supernanny", in which a little girl carried it (her full name was Teagan Olivia). And since then I have always thought it an adorable and curious name. In a baby names book that I own, Teagan is listed as mainly feminine in use, Irish in origin and meaning "Attractive".

This name has always intrigued me, male or female? I have seen it used for both. Also the pronunciation, I have that it rhymes with Megan and also seen it pronounced TEE-gan or also TAY-gan.

Teagan seems more feminine to me and Tegan more masculine.

I love Teagan. It is very unique, spirited, and artistic. My baby name book listed it for girls, meaning beautiful or little poet. I have seen Tegan (pronounced TAY-gan or rhyming with Megan). And, I have seen Teague (pronounced teeg) for boys.

I have seen Teagan prounounced TEE-gan and Tegan prounounced TAY-gan (rhymes with Megan).

I like this name for a girl and like this spelling the best and I would pronounce it TEE-gan.

Teagan (Tegan) and Keagan (or Kegan) and Reagan (or Regan) are very ambiguous and sound more masculine than feminine. So when given to either, it sounds like another ambiguous fad name.

I don't think Teagan sounds very feminine.

Whether it sounds more feminine or not, it simply IS used more as a girls name.

Teagan for a girl appeared on the top 1000 list in 2003. Its most popular year was 2005 where it ranked 478. Teagan for a boy appeared on the top 1000 list in 2005 and ranked 869.

I like Teagan (pronounced Tee gan) very much for a boy, but I would never use this name for a girl. It's too strong and masculine sounding, and doesn’t sound feminine at all. It’s just not a very pretty name for a girl.

Tegan and Sara is a Canadian indie rock band of twin sisters.

I think this is a nice name for boy or girl. But I believe I would use it as a boy's name. But it sounds good either way.

Very unique. I really like this name for a boy! It's very adorable.

Teagan is my name and I love it! The name Teagan also sounds a lot more like a girls name then a boys name.

I thought this was a cute name, and now that I know the meaning I think it's adorable! Unfortunately I don't think it would carry over well into adulthood, so I wouldn't name my child this.

Teagan (pronounce: tee gan) is a beautiful name for a girl. I just can't see this name on a boy. I have only seen this used on girls.

My cousin is called this and she gets really annoyed when people misspell it.

This is my son's name. Parents of girls keep co-opting perfectly masculine names for their daughters (Madison, Reagan, Jordan, etc.), when they have such a variety of available names to choose from already. I'm going to start a campaign to convince parents looking for 'Megan'-rhyming names -- who want an unusual name that sounds oddly familiar -- of the beauty and mystery of 'Pagan'. You can see her already, pigtails bouncing in the wind or whatever. Then they will leave 'Teagan' for the boys.

What is with people and thinking that Teagan should be a boys name when it's not! Teagan is my name and I'm a girl and I think that the name Teagan for a girl is great. It sounds nothing like a boys name.

I'm sorry but if anyone ever named their boy Teagan he'd get teased for sure, it's like naming your son Linda.

I've never met a boy Teagan but I have met several girl Teagans. It sounds too feminine to be a boy's name.

I like the name Teagen on both genders, but I also like the varitaions: Tegan and Teegan.

Teagan is a boys name and is very masculine.

This is my son's name and he shares this name with two other boys at his school. I don't know why someone would think a boy with a boys name would get picked on and as a matter of fact he never does and is very popular. We get nothing but compliments on his name. This is a boys name. It is very boyish and way too harsh for a girl. However, the feminine form Tegin (pronounced Tegwin or Teg-in) is softer. I still don't like it for a girl. Call me old fashioned but I like pretty names for girls.

I have only seen this name on boys. It is a very handsome name. Teagan is a male name that is being used as a temporary fad by parents who think that it is cute to give their daughters boys names. I have heard Teagan many times on boys. Teagan means attractive, poet, philosopher. It is also a form of Timothy(Tadgh, Teague). The feminine form to this name is Tegin pronounced Teg-in or Teg-win this means good looking. Too harsh for a girl and just because a girl has this name doesn't make it a girls name it just makes it a boys name on a girl. I have heard names such as Devon, Wesley, Riley, and Brett on a girl, are those girl names? NO!

It is pronounced TEE-gan. TAY-gan is an American misunderstanding.

I love this name, it is very boyish. Teagan can also be used as Timothy.

I don't get the arguing over Teagan for a boy vs. Teagan for a girl. I am a girl with the name Teagan, but I can totally see how it's masculine, but honestly people, no names are fixed to one specific gender. You could name your daughter Jonathan if you wanted to, there's nothing stopping except your own personal opinion. So chill out. ;D

It's horrible, I really don't like it. It sounds like a really low-class name.

Personally I prefer the tee-gan pronunciation. In my opinion it is a good unisex name, but I prefer it on a boy. I had thought seriously of naming my son this, but my boyfriend says it's strictly a girls name. He feels the same about Tristan, where as I see it being very much masculine.

I think Teagan is the most beautiful name in the whole entire world! It is totally a girls name and any boy named Teagan is just weird. Haters gone hate.

I'd never heard this name before until I met a man named Teagan. He pronounced it TEE-gan. I thought it was a different kind of name, OKAY, I actually thought it was kind of weird, but only because I hadn't heard it before! Anyway, I can't ever picture it as a feminine name. It doesn't sound delicate or pretty to me, but that's just my opinion. It does sound like a wrestling name or something.

Dear lord I hate this name so much. I'm sorry, but don't people realize that babies grow up?! This has to be one of the most childish names out there, I would honestly have a hard time not punching someone in the face if they said they named their daughter "Teagan".

Teagan is totally a boy's name. It is the girls named Teagan who come across as really weird to me. That being said, I get that this name has some history (although technically it was a last name long before it was a first name), but it still has a particularly unflattering sound to me. It sounds really unattractive on girls, not so much on boys. And even though it's somewhat historical, it seems to carry a modern, tryndee vibe that puts me off. If I were to use it, it would only be on a boy.

Does eveyone think girls grow up to be dainty? my name is tegan, and im a girl and it fits me perfectly. Sure its a bit masculine for a girl but i play sport and dont mind a bit of mud, My name just highlights my personality.
