WDYT of Keegan?
For a boy. And do you think this is going to go to the girls soon? Is it a strong boy's name? My husband and I really like it. Thank you!

No. Sorry. It sounds like a made-up, faddish name that was popular in the 1990's. I think it is slightly feminine sounding personally. If you really must use it as a middle name.
I don't mind it actually. It sounds quite modern and I normally don't go for names like that. I think it sounds quite masculine, but you never know if people will use it for a girl or not. I mean, there are little girls running around with the names Hunter, Tyler and Blade, so anything is possible I guess!
It's not bad, but it comes off as a little trendy to me (though not popular, at least not yet). The only Keegan I've met lately was a little girl named Keagan (ugh).
I really enjoy Keegan, it reminds me of one of my absolute favourites, Kiefer! I also like the name Keaton. I don't see it transferring over to the girl side, but you never can tell. Personally, while I enjoy names like Finlay, Rowan, Avery, etc. on BOTH boys & girls, Keegan doesn't quite fit in with that so I wouldn't worry.
I prefer Keghan for a girl. :)
I really dont know what I think of it.
However, I must say that I have met one in my life, and SHE was a classmate in one of my college classes. I never heard of the name before then, and looking it up, I found out it was a boys name.
All in all though, I think it has a chance of being a trendy, popular girls name, but who knows if it will. If Taylor and Madison and others made it, I dont see why Keegan would be differet. At the same time, it wouldnt stop me from using it for a boy. But I am one to use a name no matter what gender society seems to assign to it (I like Taylor, Ashley, Avery and more for a boy when most seem to think girl right away).

Keegan is a great name for a boy. I don't see it becoming popular on a girl, it's all boy IMO.
