What's the clearest spelling? Looking for pronunciation "Tay-gin", nn "Tay-a"

Teagan (matches nn Tea, with dash over e, like Tea Leoni)

Taegan (probably nn Taya)

More concerned about full name spelling than nn. What is the most obvious?

Drat! Trying to edit this ... meant to type nn "Tay-a"

TIA!!!!

You will be able to change your vote.

Definitely Taegan, for the pronunciation you want. Teagan would most often get TEE-gan. Teá Leoni pronunces her name Tee-ah, while interviewers say Tay-ah. I've seen quotes of her correcting people.

Taegan gets exactly the pronunciation you want.. with no problems. :)

I think whichever way you spell it, many people are going to assume its pronounced tee-gin.
