Teagan pronunciation?

Hello all! I posted this in my other post but thought I'd start a new one so it wouldn't get lost. Anyway, is Teagan pronounced with a long "ee" sound like Tee or "aa" like Meghan or is it even either of these. I like the pronunciation with the long "ee" but would hate to name my kid that and then be pronouncing it wrong. :) Thanks!

I pronounce it with the long ee sound - Tee-gan. I have never heard it said Tay-gan.

I think--and please, someone correct me if I've got this backwards--that this spelling is pronounced tay-gun and the Tegan spelling is pronounced tee-gun, as you would like. (And I blame this knowledge on watching too much British television.)

Edited because I stand corrected.

Teagan IS "TEE-" but Tegan is definitely "TAY-".

Other posters have addressed the pronunciation. I wanted to pipe in and say I think Teagan Faith is PERFECT with your other girls, and I hope you can grow to love it as much as Brevin (which I like, by the way).


Good luck!

Thanks everyone! I do like that name but now I have to get my hubby on board with it since he kind of grimaced when I brought it up. For some reason, he is being difficult with this one where before he just kind of let me pick the name and didn't say much. :) I'm sure we'll find one to agree on. Thanks again!!

If he won't get on board with Teagan, do you like Tierney? I think it would go beautifully with your girls and has a similar vibe to Teagan.
