My son's name is Teagan. He's 27. :)

Finding it kind of funny that some of the comments are so adamant it's a boy's name. Names have origins and those origins link the name to gender. Teagan is an Irish girl's name, derived from a Welsh girl's name. So I mean, cool if you chose to use it for your boy, but that doesn't change the origin of the name itself.
I named my daughter Teagan. Sure it's not a girly name but why do girls need only girly names... to me it's feminine (I also think Evan is feminine sounding) also, I did months upon months of research before deciding on this name, it started as a girls name! How could you not find that out or look for it while naming your son... do not blame other women for "stealing" your boys' names- they are not yours and never were. Get over it. I also believe that Teagan will be a great name in her adult life.
The Welsh female name Tegan (pronounced TEG an in Wales, teg as in peg with a short e) is an entirely different name to Teagan and can be found elsewhere in this database.
It actually became popular again in the UK, Australia and NZ in the early 80's due to Doctor Who.
Tegan was the Doctors companion and was female.
I'm a 30 year old female Tegan and have never ever heard of it being used as a boys name.
Honestly, if I was introduced to a boy named Tegan, I would laugh.
My almost 12 year old son's name is Teegan. I've only ever known males named Teegan and it's listed everywhere as a male name, meaning little poet. Is it even listed as a girl's name anywhere? I've never noticed. I think it's fine if girls want to use it too-- I've known girls named Michael, Evan, and James too and those are all clearly male names.
Love this girl's name. Such an old Irish name coming back.
