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? - Yes, I do vaguely think of Ireland as I know it's an Irish name.
Does it sound very much the same as Aaron when you say it out loud, or different? (Where's your accent from?) - different. I pronounce it the same way as Mireo mentioned in her post. Although just to add, Aaron in the bible is proncounced Air-on but the modern name is usually pronounced Ah-ron (like Adam).
When you meet an Erin, do you like or dislike her name and why? - I've only met one which was about 25 years ago. I was only about 10 and I really liked her name because it was so unusual. Although I never saw it written down and assumed it was spelt Erron. It was several years later I realised she was probably an Erin. I do like the name.
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. I associate the May-gan and Mee-gan pronunciations with North America and Australia.
Do you say Megan and Meghan the same, or not? - I've assumed they were the same.
Do you like or dislike Megan, and do you like Meghan more, or less? - I dislike both. It seems like a very harsh-sounding name to me. I prefer Megan to Meghan I think because it's the more authentic.
How many Megans / Meghans have you known, how old are they, and where are they from? - One Megan who is about 30. I know of two people who named their children Megan (one might be a Meghan and has a sister Erin). It's popular now but has only been popular since the 90s I'd say.
