Is not Teagan really a surname?
in reply to a message by as
Anyway, I prefer it for a boy. I think it is a pity that all cool and uncommon boy's names are taken by girls. And soon parents of boys dare not use them.

Erm...
Teagan's a full-fledged fn, though sometimes it can be a surname too. However, I'd bet the surname derived from the fn.
But, yes, I do prefer Teagan on a boy. The diminutive suffix that makes tadhg ("poet" in Gaelic) into Teagan is male in Irish.
