Has anyone ever heard of/met someone with the name Keegan? A while ago, I thought I made up the name (although I spelled it "Keaghan") because it just popped in my head one day, but I ended up looking it up and it's actually a Gaelic/Celtic name. It means "descendant of the fiery one" and absolutely LOVE it!

Thoughts?

I've heard the name before, it's usually a boys name and I like it, it is cute.

[earn-my-wings.livejournal.com]

I never thought of it as a boys name, funny enough. but I can see that!

[eveyalecia.livejournal.com]

I know two-- a Keegan and a Keagan, both boys. I like it! :)

[earn-my-wings.livejournal.com]

Both boys?! In my head it was totally a girl, haha!! But I suppose like a lot of celtic names, they could go either way.

[eveyalecia.livejournal.com]

I've known a few Teagan's that were girls (and one boy-- Teigun) but I definitely think they can both be for either gender!

[piperwest12.livejournal.com]

If you are interested in a similar sounding girls name you can try Tegan or Teaghan.

just came across one elsewhere on lj... a girl.

Heard of the name a while back. Don't know anyone with it personally though. Still like it~

8 Year old boy - Keegan.

my Mom was a nanny in a family with 3 boys, one of them was Keegan.

I had a good friend named Keegan who ended up dying from cystic fibrosis. He was a wonderful person and I don't remember him ever having trouble with his name.

[earn-my-wings.livejournal.com]

Sorry to hear that :-(

I met a young boy named Keegan once. It's not my favourite name, but I like it.

Keaghan is the name of my cousin's little boy (stillborn at 21 weeks, unfortunately).

[pixie-bones.livejournal.com]

I've heard it on little boys before. I'm not really a fan, but it's not horrible.

[rosabelle.livejournal.com]

I've known a few Keegans and one Caeghan (though I think Caeghan was said "kay-gan", not "key-gan".) I don't love it, but it's not bad.

[forloveofbaby.livejournal.com]

I have a female friend who goes by Keegan, but it's her surname.

[boywarrior.livejournal.com]

I know a guy named Keagan.

[katakokk.livejournal.com]

I knew a Keegan in middle school. I always found his name and his twin sister's name (Christiana) very interesting.

[earn-my-wings.livejournal.com]

Ooh, I like Christiana, too :)

[hermionesparkle.livejournal.com]

I have only seen it used as a last name. I think it would be a cute girls name. It is strong but still cute if that makes sense.

[earn-my-wings.livejournal.com]

I agree, it's got some spunk ;)

[spaceandclouds.livejournal.com]

Yes, I've met someone by that name! Really nice person, too :).

[sunshinelucy.livejournal.com]

I know a Keegan, he's 22 years old.

[annika-j.livejournal.com]

You won't find this used much in the UK/Ireland because of the famous footballer - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Keegan

[jordle.livejournal.com]

I knew a Keegan growing up. He was a nice kid but troubled.

[alyssa22.livejournal.com]

I know someone whose son is called Keegan Kevin.

[behindgrey-eyes.livejournal.com]

I knew a Keegan. Its a lovely name but I'd be put off using it because said Keegan turned out to be a nutjob :p

[fiending.livejournal.com]

There was a girl I knew in high school named Keegan. And it's the last name of a family I know.

[hibiscus-hedge.livejournal.com]

My friend's 4 yo son is Keagan.

[smallandneedy.livejournal.com]

One of my friends named her daugher Kayghen, and I'm not sure if that's supposed to be Keegan or not.

[hermione-vader.livejournal.com]

I met a Keegan back in 2005. He was about 4 or 5 years old. It's a cute name.

[sarahmarie.livejournal.com]

I went to school with a guy named Keegan. So, he's 24/25 years old.

[composure.livejournal.com]

I went to school with a Kegan who was female. There is a host (or was) for the show The Planet's Funniest Animals named Keegan, who's male. I really like the name, spelled with two e's... it's in my top 10, and maybe even five, for boys.

[earn-my-wings.livejournal.com]

10?! What region do you live in?

my brother has/had a friend/acquaintance named Keegan.
and i think one of my friends has a son named Keegan.

[theljfromheck.livejournal.com]

I knew a kid in elementary school named Keegan. This was 20 years ago and other than him I have heard of an actor with the name, that's it.

[mamakimi.livejournal.com]

I have a 5 year old named Kegan. He is named after his Great Grandfather x5. My family is SUPER Irish & right when I found out I was having a boy was when my family found the family tree my grandparents had in their attic. I had Kegan on the list of names I liked & this just proved that the Kegan was the one!

[laminy.livejournal.com]

I know a handful (maybe 4 or 5) of Keegans/Keagans, all boys, all around 20 years old now, give or take a couple.

[rubberducky1467.livejournal.com]

The youngest kid from "Eleven Kids, One Summer" was named Keegan. I remember that from a looooong time ago.

[arrien.livejournal.com]

I have a nephew named Keegan.

[arrien.livejournal.com]

Oh, he is 4 by the way.
