[Opinions] Tegwen?
Was talking with my boyfriend the other day, and we got onto the topic of names. He mentioned that he kind of liked Teagan, but for me, that's too trendy. Tegwen occurred to me as an alternative. Haven't run it by him yet. What do you all think of Tegwen? To me, it's kind of a cool alternative to Megan and Teagan. Any combo ideas?

I like Tegwen! It's definitely less trendy than Teagan but has the same sort of feel. Tegwen has a bit more of a medieval vibe, which is cool, but it's not "out there". It's easy to say and spell, but still unusual. Tegwen Rain, Tegwen Raine
Tegwen Alastriona, Tegwen Anna
Tegwen Liora, Tegwen Lily
Tegwen Rose, Tegwen Rosalind
Tegwen Penelope, Tegwen Persephone
Tegwen Catherine, Tegwen Calla
Tegwen Piper, Tegwen Philippa
Tegwen Cecily, Tegwen Cecilia
Tegwen Sylvie, Tegwen Saskia
Tegwen Miranda, Tegwen Morgana
Tegwen Cassandra, Tegwen Cassia
Tegwen Iris, Tegwen Isis
Tegwen Brenna, Tegwen Betony

I had an Australian university prof whose daughters were Bronwen and Tegwen and while I don't dislike either name, they also have always sounded more masculine than feminine to me.

it sounds like medicineLike for heartburn or something. Tegwen AC, in delicious orange-flavored chewable tablets. Use only as directed.It also seems trendy in its own right, self-conscious in its untrendiness, if that makes any sense. "Ewwww, Teagan is 209 (or whatever) on the SSA charts, we can't have that! How's about this neat alternative, Tegwen?! It's Celtic!"

I like it, I think it's pretty and forest-y. I've always loved the combo Tegwen Juliet. I like it paired with something little more delicate.

I like it, but then I like most welsh names. I don't mind Tegan too much either though to be honest, it's not common here so it seems pretty.
