My son's name

Tell me what you think of this....

My husband and I have named our son Taegan Wesely......We wanted something unique, and his middle name is the family name!! What do you think???

any chance there's a few typo in there and the name is actually Teagan Wesley?

Regardless of spelling, I think Teagan/Tegan is quite a feminine name.
I'm not keen on Wesley, but I don't hate it either.

I think it sounds nice as a combo, although the names are not really matching in style.

I like Wesley but Taegan really really isn't my thing. Esp. on a boy...and esp. that spelling (I guess I'd prefer Tegan? Teagan? I don't know...)

Sorry!

[ashleyyynoel.livejournal.com]

I like Wesley (spelled that way). Teagan/Tegan/Teegan to me is a girl's name.

[lustdumpster.livejournal.com]

i'm assuming there are typos, because i've never seen taegan before, or wesely.

regardless though, teagan is a girl's name to me, and wesley just sounds redneck and i hate it.

[0o-faerie.livejournal.com]

I like the sound of Taegan (and Teagan/Tegan, for that matter), but because of Tegan & Sara, it's a girl's name to me now.
I'm not a fan of Wesley, but Taegan Wesley flows well.

I don't see Teagan as a girl's name but I am not a fan either way... it's weird for me to pronounce and reminds me of the word Tikki (don't ask...) Wesley is not my cup of tea either but it's a legit name and it's alright. Unless you actually did spell his name Wesely and then I don't like it that much... sorry!

Pronounced TAY-gen?

It's too similar to Tegan, which is a girls name. falls into the 'two syllables, ends in -an/en' catagory which I find incredibly boring.

Wesely should be Wesley, in any case I don't like it but appreciate the family connection.

[sandtree.livejournal.com]

Um... I hate it, sorry. Taegan and Wesely is both spelt wrong... unless those are typoes. And Teagan is usually a girl's name.

[giveitfullheart.livejournal.com]

Taegan is more of a feminine name in my eyes but I love Wesley! A lot of people have commented on how you spelled it "Wesely" but I don't think the spelling of that one matters since it's a family name. Family names are best kept the same spelling as is always used. Otherwise it kind of turns it into a different name! Anyway, the two names do go together well.

People can accept Lynn and Jamie as names for boys so why the hell not Taegan? :-P

[giveitfullheart.livejournal.com]

If it's pronounced "Tay-gen" then it wouldn't be spelled Teagan :-P

[sandtree.livejournal.com]

Uh, okay, but she never said that it was pronounced 'Tay-gen'...

[solagirl.livejournal.com]

I checked her journal, and the spelling is the same.


To the OP - how did you pick out the name? Who is he named after? What are some of the other names you liked?

[isoldereverie.livejournal.com]

hahaha! no kidding! Shannon, Casey, Lynn, Jamie, Ashley (Gone With the Wind, anyone?) Jordan, Morgan, the list goes on. I never know anymore when I look at a kid's name if it's a boy or a girl,so I ask no matter what! Seems like the trend is to mush everything towards gender neutral anyway. I saw a woman, mid-30's named Michael and another in her early 40's named Charles. As far as I can tell, gender specific names are fading fast. C'est la vie.

[solagirl.livejournal.com]

But it isn't spelled Teagan...

[giveitfullheart.livejournal.com]

That's what I'm saying. The person who left the comment I replied to is saying it's spelled wrong. Well, it's not spelled wrong as Taegan if it's pronounced "Tay-gen"

[giveitfullheart.livejournal.com]

My MIL LOVES the nn Charlie for a girl. It's a lot easier to give girls boy names because with boys you have to worry about people making fun of them a lot more than you do with girls.

[th3-unicorn.livejournal.com]

Taegan/Tegan are pronounced both Tee-gan and Tay-gan, so that doesn't quite solve it.

[giveitfullheart.livejournal.com]

I'm just throwing that option out there. No need to be so serious.

[giveitfullheart.livejournal.com]

Oh well I've never seen Tegan pronounced Tay-gan :-P guess you're right then! I don't like any of the options personally lol just had to throw that out there that it isn't necessarily spelled wrong.

[sandtree.livejournal.com]

...You can read my emotions through your computer screen? Fascinating! :P

[how-obscure.livejournal.com]

While I tend to from upon changing spelling for the sake of uniqueness, this spelling isn't something atrocious or tacky so I don't mind it so much. Also, while it is being used more on girls these days, it is still unisex and I think it's great for a boy. I think it sounds fine with Wesely and don't mind the spelling there because it is a family name.

Congratulations.

[giveitfullheart.livejournal.com]

It's a special ability I have gained as of lately :)

[adamantplatypus.livejournal.com]

Taegan is a female name, to me.

[tiarrajanae.livejournal.com]

I don't like the spelling of either. I like Wesley, but if it's spelled Wesely, I'd be confused on how to pronounce it. It looks like weasely to me...

[azelmaroark.livejournal.com]

Yeeeah, Taegan is super-feminine. I think the spelling change makes it look more feminine, actually. I predict he's gonna be mistaken for a girl a lot.

I don't mind Wesley, and I like Teagan spelled that way, but not for a boy.

[night-sky-dream.livejournal.com]

I love the meaning of the name Taegan, I think it means something little 'Little Poet' :)

[missmaxattax.livejournal.com]

BLAH and Lynn and Jamie.
My name is Jamie Lynn.

[giveitfullheart.livejournal.com]

lol sorry :-P

[piamon.livejournal.com]

Spelled like that, it would be pronounced "Tay-gan", yes? (I've seen it spelled and pronounced that way in other places)

Some places list it as a girl name, some list it for boys. I think it works fine on either gender. I kind of like it. :)

[rainylondonight.livejournal.com]

Taegan is a girls name in my eyes.

I like Wesley but Wesely looks like a spelling mistake.

[rainylondonight.livejournal.com]

Oh, sorry I saw that Wesely was a family name. I take it back! Sorry.

[laminy.livejournal.com]

I think that it would be a nice name, if they didn't both look like they were spelled wrong. Teagan Wesley, that's nice.

[aquilinum.livejournal.com]

Taegan sounds like a girl's name to me, and one of my least favorite female names at that.


Has your family spelled the name Wesely like that for a long time? It's mightily interesting.

[arbus.livejournal.com]

im not sure how to pronounce that.

like tee-gin? or rhyming with reagan (as in president)?

wesely looks like it should be pronounced like weaseley, not that thats even a word, i dont think.

i like wesley though.
