This is a first! Someone asking for my advice on girl's names! I appreciate
the thought, Ed but you should know that you can rely on me being the
proverbial _ex-spurt_ in such a field of study. :)
I do indeed recognize "Tegan" as a possible Aussie name, although I don't
recall ever having come into contact with any girl or lady using that moniker.
I don't think it's a traditional name, as we share a similar first name
collection as you Yanks do. It may just be a millennium name, perhaps derived
from a TV or movie actress's name from around the turn of the century.
Interestingly, the Wikipedia states that it's a name of Welsh origin. It is
surprising to see that of the eight famous people sporting that name, four are
Australian. Kewl.
Cheers,
Paul.
