Hello Berries! I think I’ve finally settled on a name. Emphasis on “think!” However, I don’t want to sign my little one up for a life time of correcting people. So, I need to know;
There are at least three different ways to pronounce [name_u]Tegan[/name_u]/[name_u]Teagan[/name_u], I also know how I want it pronounced. Sooooooo, at first glance, how would you pronounce it?
Also, I’m torn on which spelling I prefer. [name_u]Tegan[/name_u] or [name_u]Teagan[/name_u] for a little girl?
I’d pronounce both Tee-gan but prefer the [name_u]Teagan[/name_u] spelling. It seems more straightforward. I don’t pronounce [name_f]Megan[/name_f] like Mee-gan so [name_u]Tegan[/name_u] seems odd to me. I know someone who named her baby [name_u]Regan[/name_u] thinking it was clear you pronounce it [name_u]Ray[/name_u]-gan. She said she spelled it like [name_f]Megan[/name_f] so it would be pronounced the same. Trouble is she pronounces [name_f]Megan[/name_f] like [name_f]May[/name_f]-gan, and not everyone does.
I pronounce it Tee-gan. I knew two growing up and both pronounced it this way. Were you thinking of pronouncing it differently? You/she might be correcting a lot of people if you are. I think I prefer the [name_u]Teagan[/name_u] spelling.
I like the spelling [name_u]Teagan[/name_u] better. I also think it’s more familiar and therefore there may be less mistakes in spelling/writing it. I say it “TEE-gin”.
However, I don’t want to sign my little one up for a life time of correcting people. So, I need to know;
