Then, unexpectedly, Teagan cried out for attention, reaching its peak in popularity at #135 in our SmartGenius statistics in the year 2016. People over 50 probably didn't have classmates named Teagan, for there were many years in which not a single parent chose this first name for their daughter. Although it also has never been in the top 100 of most popular first names, Teagan seems to have been in vogue for a while, especially since the beginning of the new millennium.

Everyone knows her, everyone loves her and still she’s different from the mainstream: Teagan occurs in every single state of the U.S. This may sound quite unspectacular at first, but in fact, of the more than 50,000 different female first names that occur in the USA, just 537 are recorded in each individual state, so the name Teagan is definitely something very special. However, at the same time, since the name does not appear in the top 100 most common first names in any single state, Teagan is not one of those names that one encounters in every neighbourhood, but stands out from the crowd, is noticeable and special without being strange or unknown.

However, there are considerable regional differences – the name is far more popular than average in Nevada, where one in 2,179 women and girls is called Teagan, while it is particularly rare in Vermont, where you have to ask an average of 21,780 women for their name to get Teagan as an answer once.
