Swante Taggart
Swante Taggart - what an amazing name. Swante has a bit of history in Texas, but in and of itself just screams volumes. The cowboy’s name is not Bob or John or William, but Swante. How many young boys entering school have a name as wonderful as Swante?
There was a boy in my school when I was very young whose name was Taggart. Taggart is a bit more common, though generally used as a first name rather than a surname. Still it is not a name that is used often. Taggart is a bit more bold than Swante. Together Swante Taggart speaks of someone suave yet strong. He is a cowboy, but the name suggests that some of the rough edges may have been knocked off already. He’s smart and determined.
If I had come across the name of Swante Taggart before I had children I would have pushed to have named one of my sons Swante.
