Ok, this is my name and I LOVE it- but I'm most certainly not a boy! Also, it wasn't as trendy when I was a kid- by DOB is Aug '84- even just a few years ago no one had heard of it, now I get "Oh, yeah, i've heard it- some singer, right❤️" Annoying. Anyway, It's a Welsh name that means "fair/beautiful". Not particularly masculine...

Tegan is my daughter's name. I had not heard of it until 2014 and loved It'so much that I named my daughter Tegan when she was born in 2015. Most people say it incorrectly, but it is pronounced Tee-gan. I have not met anyone with the'same name. I had not evern heard of the'singer until about 2 years ago... I get alot of compliments on how beautiful the name is. Definitely does not strike me as a boy name though. I found the origin of the name to be Celtic and meaning beautiful/loving/doe.
