I really like it! Also: Keagan

I used to ask about this name, as it is my cousin's name (born 1989), and people would always tear it down on these board.

I like it for honoring reasons, but can't detach it from the person I know. I like it though.

I knew a Keegan. He's a bit younger than me, probably around 18-20 now.

It's an all right name, not one of my favorites.

I actually quite like Keegan, at least by its sound. It is not particularly attractive to my eye, but not worse than many others.

---

Where I live, it is not common, but I could see there being problems elsewhere with a trendiness factor. That all depends on your location, though. Also, I've never seen it on a girl, but I would much prefer it as a masculine name.

---

Overall, I think Keegan is just fine, and easy enough to spell and pronounce (yay!). Do you have any mn thoughts?

Seems trendy here in the UK, unsure about elsewhere in the world.

I'm not a fan, but then i'm not a fan of K names on boys in general really. I prefer it to Kian.

Down-market trendy. There's a Keegan in DH's family (with a Travis brother!). Nice kid, unfortunate name.

I used to know a boy called Keegan. He's like 23 or 25 or something now.

I think it's a cute name. It's hard to see it on someone over 35. It's not my style but in general I think it's a nice enough name.

I'm generally neutral to it. It has a bit of an odd feel to it, but it's generally inoffensive.

If I were picking a name from that same name "family," I'd go with Aidan, but only use it as a middle name since I have a brother named Aidan (he's in his 30s now and was called Aidan way before it was "cool") and wouldn't want it to get confusing with regards to which Aidan I was talking to/about.

I actually had a male student this year named Keegan. I've also had it for a girl. I like it on boys much better.

I really, really dislike names beginning with Kee-. Sorry but they sound so trendy and tacky.
