I love Teagan but pronounced Tee-gin, not Tay-gin.

When I see "Teagan" I automatically read TEE-gun. Perhaps you're thinking of Reagan, which can be pronounced either way. But TEA is a stand-alone word, unlike REA, so when one sees it they automatically read the word "Tea" (tee-).

If you want the name pronounced TAY-gun, I think you'll have to find a different spelling. Taegan. Taygan. Taigan. I know they're not the greatest, but it would be better than having to go through life saying "Uh, it's pronounced TAY-gun."

My DH and I were just talking about that, and thought of ways we could spell it. Thanks for all the info on that and the suggestions! I appreciate them!

I voted for Dahlia. I think you should choose a solidly feminine name, rather than an ambisexual name for you rlittle girl since you chose Haden fo rone of your boys (and some girls are being named Hayden now). In other words, it shoudl be obvious which of your children is the girl rather than having some people wonder, "Is Haden the girl? Is Landry the boy?" To me, Dahlia is unusual, clearly feminine, and very appealing. Plus, she won't be one of several Delaneys, Talias, Teagans, etc.

I voted Tatum because it fits with your boys, but stands out as a girls name.

Tegan is actually a separate, feminine name pronounced "tay-gan" ... Teagan is TEE-gan. If you like Tegan, I'd spell it as such. ;)


I actually like Tegan (this spelling), Tatum and Dahlia about equally, but my vote went to Dahlia for now as the most feminine of your choices ... a little "girly" is nice after three boys.

With Haden, Grant and Coleman

Teagan Marie (tay-gan) - Actually, like the PP mentioned, "tay-gen" is Tegan and "tea-gen" is Teagan. I love both, but would prefer something more feminine
Tatum Marie (tay-tum) - Like this, but again, after three boys, something really feminine would be my choice
Delaney Marie - too trendy
Dahlia Marie - LOVE it. You may want to check out these posts on the name:

Talia Marie - beautiful
Tayla Marie - too trendy
Landry Marie - too masculine
Kinley Marie - too trendy, cutesy, and masculine

HTH! Dahlia, Tegan, Tatum, and Talia are all lovely choices!
