Help[Opinions] Re: Erin & Megan
in reply to a message by mirfak
Does the name Erin always make you think of Ireland, or is it mostly just a personal name to you?
Erin makes me think of Ireland only because my best friend growing up was named Erin (little sister Megan!) and her dad was obsessed with his "Irish heritage"
Does it sound very much the same as Aaron when you say it out loud, or different? (Where's your accent from?)
Sounds the same as Aaron. I'm from SC.
When you meet an Erin, do you like or dislike her name and why?
I'm kind of neutral on Erin. I like it more than other 80s names like Brittany and Tiffany, but less than other 80s names like Megan and Caitlin.
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.
Do you say Megan and Meghan the same, or not?
Same - to me, Meghan is just an elaboration of Megan.
Do you like or dislike Megan, and do you like Meghan more, or less?
I like Megan. I like it leagues more than Meghan or my least favorite, Meaghan.
How many Megans / Meghans have you known, how old are they, and where are they from?
I know too many to count. Tons and tons, mostly from SC, but recently I've met one from Boston and one from rural Indiana.
ETA: as a kid I thought M-EGG-en and MAY-gen were two totally different names. I only heard MAY-gen on TV cause no one I knew pronounced it that way. IT seems more northern? But anyway, there was a MAY-gen on My Little Pony and I imagined her name as "Magen." I really wanted this name for a little while as a kid, before my "I want to be named Michelle" full house phase.
