Hello everyone...I just joined and would like to ask your opinion for my dilemma
I am 27 weeks along and chose the name for my daughter a couple of months ago...Teaghyn Rose
My mother absolutely hates it!! She says that the baby will hate the name and hate me. I have two other daughters...their names are Bryanna Marie and Kaelyn Michelle. My mom says that in the end I will be setting Teaghyn apart from her sisters because her name is so different from theirs but I don't think that the names Bryanna and Kaelyn really have much in common except for the y (which I am including in Teaghyn's name).
My mom thinks it sounds like a boy name and cannot be used for a girl. She gets so upset about it that if the name is brought up she leaves the room.
I feel like I had to get her approval for the naming of my first two daughters and it is really bothering her that I am sticking to my guns on this one.
I'm really stressed out about it...please HELP!!!

Welcome to the board. I love Rose as a mn. I like Teagan - but with this spelling.

I like Teagan, but with the more traditional spelling.
stick to your guns on it
while it sounds like it could be unisex, I have only heard it on girls
I've heard it pronounced both TEE-gan and TAY-gan
I think that is the one thing, it's open to mispronunciation possibilities - the one way I saw it pronounced TAY-gan, that I like the spelling best was Taegan, because that definitely made you say TAY - with any of the versions that start out Tea - that can go either way
I think if want the long Es - it should be spelled Teegan

I totally agree, My dad hated one of my twins name, Emaline. I know its a different name, especially with the basic names the rest of my kids have. He said it just sounded aweful with the other kids names, but since he saw her, he said
