[Opinions] Re: Erin & Megan
Does the name Erin always make you think of Ireland, or is it mostly just a personal name to you?
-The name NEVER makes me think of Ireland. I think of a girl who was born sometime in the 80's, but I don't think of the country, at all. Does it sound very much the same as Aaron when you say it out loud, or different? (Where's your accent from?)
-I pronounce them the same. I'm from Northern California. When you mett an Erin, do you like or dislike her name and why?
-I like her name, a lot. It's not the prettiest name ever and it isn't super feminine, but it's still attractive. Like a sleek, bob haircut, or something. How do you say MEGAN- with the E as in egg? as in eel? or does the name rhyme with "pagan"?
-E as in "egg", but I don't see the difference between this pronunciation and the one rhyming with "pagan". They sound the same to me. Do you say Megan and Meghan the same, or not?
-Yes. Do you like or dislike Megan, and do you like Meghan more, or less?
-I like Megan fine, but I don't like Meghan. The 'H' is unnecessary, IMO. How many Megans/Meghans have you known, how old are they, and where are they from?
-I've known a fair number, and they've all been around my age (late 20's-early 30's). Most of them came from CA. "What matters most is how well you walk through the fire." -Charles Bukowski

Ha, you say eggs like aigs. You pronounce eggs with a long A sound instead of a short E sound. Sometimes, I pronounce eggs like aigs and legs like laigs but not always. XD

No, but Megan rhymes with "pagan" in my accent.

So you say the first syllable of "pagan" as "peg"?

No, it's pay-gun, but I still see no difference between mEGGan and MAY-gun. Same sound to me.
