Teagan

I have a daughter named "Tagan" (Tay-gan). When I tell people how to say her name I say it's like Reagan but with a "T". The name is Welsh and means pretty. The most common English way to spell the name is Teagan. And that is almost how we spelled it. However my husband was worried that people would call her Tee-gan so we changed the spelling so people would say her name the way we say her name. She was named after a dear friend of mine (also another female) who spelled her name Tegan. She was an adult who was a strong woman and people loved her. I think the parents who pick this name for their son/daughter take deep thought in what they wanted to name their baby. So it's unfair for anyone to judge if the name itself needs to go to a boy or girl. It's not a common name, and the parent's naming their babies know this and they pick the name for their own reasons. It's a "pretty" name and sounds great on a boy/girl and does work well as the babies grow into adulthood.

It is pronounced TEE-gan. TAY-gan is an American misunderstanding.

I have seen Teagan prounounced TEE-gan and Tegan prounounced TAY-gan (rhymes with Megan).
