[Opinions] Re: Erin & Megan
in reply to a message by mirfak
Yes, Erin makes me think of Ireland.
I pronounce Erin and Aaron the same. I grew up in Illinois and Colorado, and have lived in New York, Texas and Arizona.
If I met an Erin, I would think the name was just OK.
I say Megan to rhyme with pagan.
I do not say Megan and Meghan the same. Meghan looks, annoyingly, like it should be pronounced MEG-an (the first syllable rhyming with the last in nutmeg).
I like Megan but dislike Meghan.
The only Megan that I've known well enough to stand out in my mind is a girl my son knew when he was about 16. This Megan was about 14. She was very pretty, was from a messed-up family and slept with a lot of boys.
