Re: How do you pronounce
in reply to a message by Lily nsi
Regan would be REEgan and Reagan would, appropriately, be RAYgun.
King Lear's middle daughter would likewise be REEgan.
Megan is tricky. I always expect MEGan, and therefore also expect people wanting the MEEgan pronunciation to spell it Meagan or Meaghan. But I do know one South African Megan who uses the long EE. (At her wedding, the minister alternated between MEGan and MEEgan, in spite of wild semaphoring gestures from the front pew!)
I'm from South Africa, but I'm told I speak British English.
