dear ladies (and uh, gentlemen),

i've been combing through babynaming sites (sigh, again), trying to pick up names that maybe i had overlooked before. i came up with a few that were not originally on my list, or have a different spelling than what was on my list. just looking for opinions and maybe possible middle name pairings. here goes:

Ansley
Anabel
Astrid
Brenna
Brynn
Penelope
Sophia
Tanis
Tegan
Waverly
Wren

i honestly feel like i'm scraping the bottom of the barrel. not saying i don't like these names, but it wasn't until i retired my two favorites Lily and Ava (after i found out how uber popular they are, i began second guessing my choices) that I started re-searching. nothing is resonating with me, i guess.

do you say TEE-GAN or TAY-GAN?

just curious.

I prefer the tee-gan pronounciation, but i like the Tay-gun one too.
If i was pronouncing it tee-gan i'd spell it Teagan.
How do you pronounce it ?

[girlsknowbest.livejournal.com]

i say Teeeee-gan, too. I like Teagan spelling but it seems that would make people ryhme it with Meagan. I dunno.

[1lb-at-a-time.livejournal.com]

hm i never thought of that.
All the Teagan's i know of pronounce it Tee rather than Tay.
It's a gorgeous name, either spelling :)

sorry, that was me just on my 'diet journal' lol.

I think the traditional pronounciation is Tay-gen but it's been anglicanized to Tee-gen. The book I have lists it as a Welsh name that rhymes with MEGAN meaning "beautiful and fair" a modern development of the older name Tegwen.

I love this name! It was on the short list for our second daughter. I do see it becoming more popular, but mostly with the Tee-gan prn.
