Ok so we’ve gone back and forth with middle names for a while now. And while i’m fairly certain this is the name, there is doubt in some of the people i’ve thrown it to. I just want to make sure it flows.
[name]Teagan[/name] [name]Dahlia[/name]
I am of Irish-Mexican heritage. So it’s a combo of both. She will have both of our last names also (which are English and [name]German[/name]) so it’s going to be a bit of a mouthful in total. [name]Sister[/name] to [name]Rowan[/name] [name]Josephine[/name].
My bf is not totally sold either. He’s a fan of either [name]Page[/name] or [name]Liliana[/name] as a middle instead.
I don’t strongly dislike it, but I don’t know if I care for the combination. I love [name]Teagan[/name]…[name]LOVE[/name] it. But it’s so spunky and peppy, and then [name]Dahlia[/name] is lacy and flowery and exotic. I find it to be a bit of a style clash. I much prefer [name]Teagan[/name] [name]Paige[/name] (<< this spelling is a name). However, Teagan Dahlia sounds fun when said aloud, and isn’t horrible, it’s just not my style. If it’s your style, there’s no reason not to go for it.
I’d pick [name]Lilliana[/name] [name]Paige[/name] from your list of names Then [name]Paige[/name] [name]Dahlia[/name]. I love TOTALLY girlie names so [name]Teagan[/name] is a little masculine for my taste…
[name]Even[/name] though I am personally not fond of [name]Teagan[/name], I agree with everyone else that it would sound better as [name]Teagan[/name] [name]Paige[/name].
I like the exotic feel of [name]Teagan[/name] [name]Dahlia[/name], much more than [name]Teagan[/name] [name]Paige[/name] which feels very plain to me! I love the name [name]Paige[/name], don’t get me wrong. It’s one of my favorites, when paired with an exotic first name. (My favorite being [name]Vienna[/name] [name]Paige[/name]). I also agree that [name]Teagan[/name] [name]Dahlia[/name] has some flow issues, but I’m a huge fan of a mainstream first name, with a whimsical middle, and [name]Teagan[/name] [name]Dahlia[/name] hits that mark.
I am not gonna totally dis the culture smoosh, but [name]Teagan[/name] is SO modern spunky peppy Irish, and [name]Dahlia[/name] is SO floral sensuous Latin, it just seems almost jokey when you put them together. I think [name]Teagan[/name] [name]Paige[/name] leaves out the Mexican too much and just kind of becomes one of those 80s power names for girls. It has none of the beauty of [name]Rowan[/name] [name]Josephine[/name] (which I [name]LOVE[/name] btw).
I think [name]Teagan[/name] [name]Liliana[/name] is better. [name]Liliana[/name] has the Latin flavor but not so hard-core, so it just goes better.
Have you considered [name]Tegan[/name]? I like it a little better for you because it reads more Irish and less 80s power name. Also the pronunciation is clearer, and it just seems fresher, more streamlined and chic. [name]Rowan[/name] [name]Josephine[/name] and [name]Tegan[/name] [name]Liliana[/name] is a nice pair.
I agree completely with missUSH. [name]Teagan[/name] [name]Liliana[/name] works better from a flow and a heritage perspective. I would like [name]Liliana[/name] [name]Teagan[/name] even more.
[name]Teagan[/name] [name]Liliana[/name] is a very fitting sister name to [name]Rowan[/name] [name]Josephine[/name]. I certainly understand your leaning toward [name]Teagan[/name] [name]Dahlia[/name]. [name]Dahlia[/name] is such a gorgeous name…The flow isn’t perfect but certainly isn’t awful, and the pairing is unexpected in a stylish way. Good luck!
I’m not a fan of [name]Teagan[/name], but agree that [name]Tegan[/name] is a little better and more sophisticated. (I actually prefer the Irish name [name]Regan[/name] to either one). [name]Paige[/name] works beautifully as a middle name.
My friend’s baby is [name]Teagan[/name] and she loves it, and I know a little boy named [name]Teague[/name]…so I know it works. I agree though that [name]Teagan[/name] [name]Dahlia[/name] doesn’t have the greatest flow. But, I’m in the minority I think when I say this; if you love the name–use it and forget flow!
Then [name]Paige[/name] [name]Dahlia[/name]. I love TOTALLY girlie names so [name]Teagan[/name] is a little masculine for my taste…
