[Opinions] Re: Reagan
in reply to a message by mirfak
Interesting. Reagan rhymes with Megan (all spellings) around here. The second syllable of both rhymes more with pin than gun.

Hm!
Well, it's more g'n than gun since it's an unstressed syllable. But not ghin.
Do you say May-g'n and Ray-g'n, or Meg'n and Reg'n? Or Meeg / Reeg?
I've heard both Meg'n and May-g'n, usually Meg'n. But for Reagan, I've only heard Ray-g'n - Rayg like in fragrance - never Reg'n like in regular.
