ArchivesTeagan, prn.?
How is Teagan pronounced? Is it Tee-gan or Teh-gan/Tei-gan? Are both pronounciations possible? I've also seen Teagan spelt Taegan which would indicate the pronounciation tei-gan in my opinion. Could Tegan be a possible spelling for a boy?
Thanks.

My daughters name is Teagan. After much research, I found that it is derived from the name Tadhg which is prn. TAYG,therefore the diminutive form would be prn. Tay-gen.In fact an older woman from Ireland whom I work with agreed this was the correct way to pronounce it.I think people see the first three letters and say tea like the beverage.When people argue with me, I remind them it rhymes with Reagan,the T instead of R doesn't change the pronounciation!Also the spelling Tegan(as someone pointed out) comes from the unrelated(female) welsh name Tegwen meaning 'beautiful,attractive' so while Teagan is a unisex name Tegan is strictly feminine . I hope this helps!

My takes:
Teagan = TEE-gan
Tegan = TEG-an
Taegan = TAY-gan
Teagan is ostensibly unisex, but is in fact derived from the exclusively male name Tadhg combined with the equally male Irish diminutive -án. Tegan and Taegan could be alternate spellings, but I think they'd just cause nothing but confusion (and anyone prone to accidentally transposing letters would especially dislike Taegan, I think). Besides, Tegan's an unrelated girl's name in Welsh too, at least according to BtN.

I've only ever heard it pronounced TEE-gan. But if you spelled it Taegan, then TAY-gan would make more sense to me.

I went to school with a girl named Teagan and she pronounced it TEE-gan.

As far as I've heard, on a TV show I can't remember which is, Teagan is pronounced as Tee-gan.
I don't know about Taegan, but my guess would be Tay-gan or Tae-gan. Or as you said, Tie-gan.
And yes, Tegan could be a possible spelling for a boy, as Teagan is one of my faves for a girl. Here because of the lack of 'a' after the first 'e'. But just my opinion.
