Help[Opinions] Re: Erin & Megan
in reply to a message by mirfak
I see Erin as a personal name, though I'm named Erin (and I've met other Erins), so I might be biased there! I do see it as a nice romantic name for Ireland too, though.
And I think it is a good name - the only problem I've had with it is people thinking I'm a boy (Aaron and Erin are pronounced pretty much the same here, I'm in the midwestern United States), but I guess it's not too bad. Plus, it'd make a good transition just in case a person is transgendered, too. (Not that I am, but I have a friend that is, and name-wise it was easy for him - Alexandria to Alexander)
As for Megan, I guess I say it like pagan? Not that that is a turn-off whatsoever; I really like paganism.
As a name, I like Megan - I have some friends who are pretty cool people named Megan, so that might play a role in it. As for spelling, Megan and /just/ Megan. All of the other spellings are just trendy, unneeded, and Megan is a Welsh name, not a pseudo-Irish one. (And for whatever it counts, I have Welsh and Irish ancestry)
