My name is Teag and I'm not a blond, infatuated teen.

This name can be pronounced either "TIEG" or "TEEG." These are the two pronunciations I've heard, at least.

I believe this name was used for the son in the Richard Harris movie, The Field. It was memorable so I wanted to find out more about it. If I remember correctly there was an old shoe advertisement called Buster Brown shoes. In the ad the boy had a dog named Teague (however it was pronounced Tie g). The boy (with the Buster Brown hair cut of course) would announce I'm Buster Brown and this is my dog Tieg. We live in a shoe---camera focuses on picture of boy and dog in the heel of a shoe. I was a very long time ago circa 1955 and this trivia about an unfamiliar name stayed with me.

Pronounced Teeg, if you didn't know. This is great name!
This is a religious slur and derogatory term, often used by loyalists in Northern Ireland in anti-Catholic slogans. However, Teague is considered a more contemporary self-identifier adopted by the very people the term is meant to slur, while Taig remains a slur in almost every context.
