Help[Opinions] Re: Erin & Megan
in reply to a message by mirfak
No, Erin doesn't make me think of Ireland at all.
Erin and Aaron sound exactly the same in my accent (central Canadian).
When I meet Erins I don't like or dislike the name. I have no feelings on it at all.
Megan is said like "meggin"; it does not rhyme with pagan, which has an ever so slightly longer ay sound (like paygan).
I would say Megan and Meghan the same, unless told otherwise, in which it might be "mee-gan", which I have also heard.
I have a lukewarm dislike for Megan and Meghan equally, though I will admit the name has a sort of warmth to it. It reminds me of Rachel - straightforward without being flat or musty, and doesn't summon up an instant image. Could work well on a variety of personality types.
I grew up in a Megan generation so I've known a few, but less than ten; they would mostly be age 30 or a little younger. I had a best friend named Megan when I was 12. I also have a second cousin or something (my mom's cousin's daughter) named Megan. She would be in her early twenties. They were all from my area of the country.
