[Opinions] Re: Erin & Megan
in reply to a message by mirfak
Erin depends on the context. In a person context, it's personal; in a nation context, it's the country. Not Northern Ireland, of course.
In my accent, Aaron starts with Air. The stuff we breathe. And Erin starts like Eric. Call me Standard UK English with a few South African features - mostly words rather than sounds.
I mildly like the name, though I've yet to meet an Erin I've liked much.
Megan has an egg in it for sure. The only version I enjoy.
I say them all like Megan-with-an-egg until I'm "corrected".
I value authenticity, I suppose! I liked Megan until it went viral, and then people started messing with the spelling and pronunciation, which put me off it rather. Pity - I liked liking it.
I can only think of two, one in her 60s and one in her 40s.
