HelpRe: Tegan
in reply to a message by Perrine
I say TEE-gən and it just reminds me of Tegan & Sara. (If not for Tegan & Sara I probably would just dislike it. But it is definitely better than Teagan.)
I think it's okay as a tomboy name, but it might be dated in the US. There's a category of mostly-androgynous 90's names like Tegan, Teagan, Fallon, Jordan, Morgan, Megan, Reagan, Taryn, etc. that all seem dated as a group.
In the US I think Tegan is a little dated and Tamsin is old-fashioned in a good way (not popular enough to be classic, but not dated either. It feels more like a fantasy character name). Tamsin probably feels different in the UK though.

Isn't Tegan strictly feminine? It seems like that to me and says so on this site, kind of like Rhiannon or Tamsin. It also reminds me of Megan.
I think Teagan is the unisex one, but it has a different etymology. But I guess they sound the same so I see where you're coming from.
To me Tegan has something very feminine about it, I get a similar image as I do from Rhiannon. I think of a queen on a horse :)
