[Opinions] Re: Erin & Megan
in reply to a message by mirfak
My middle name is Erin. I pronounce it like ear-in, whereas I pronounce Aaron like a-rin. My brothers middle name is Aaron, so it's important to me to pronounce them differently! I'm from New Zealand.
It does make me think of Ireland, but I think that's mainly be wise that's the reason Dad wanted me to have that name. I think it's a nice meaning, anyway.
I've never loved the sound of my name, and the fact it's so short bothers me. I don't really like it as a first name. But I think it's quite inoffensive, overall.
I pronounce Megan as mee-gan, and I'd probably say Meghan the same unless I was told otherwise. I far prefer the spelling Megan, the extra h just looks superfluous to me. I think it's a pretty name, and I like the nickname Meg. I would consider using it to honour my mother, Margaret.
I only know one Megan personally, who is around 30.
