HelpRe: 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?
-The name NEVER makes me think of Ireland. I think of a girl who was born sometime in the 80's, but I don't think of the country, at all.
Does it sound very much the same as Aaron when you say it out loud, or different? (Where's your accent from?)
-I pronounce them the same. I'm from Northern California.
When you mett an Erin, do you like or dislike her name and why?
-I like her name, a lot. It's not the prettiest name ever and it isn't super feminine, but it's still attractive. Like a sleek, bob haircut, or something.
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", but I don't see the difference between this pronunciation and the one rhyming with "pagan". They sound the same to me.
Do you say Megan and Meghan the same, or not?
-Yes.
Do you like or dislike Megan, and do you like Meghan more, or less?
-I like Megan fine, but I don't like Meghan. The 'H' is unnecessary, IMO.
How many Megans/Meghans have you known, how old are they, and where are they from?
-I've known a fair number, and they've all been around my age (late 20's-early 30's). Most of them came from CA.

Ha, you say eggs like aigs. You pronounce eggs with a long A sound instead of a short E sound. Sometimes, I pronounce eggs like aigs and legs like laigs but not always. XD

ahhh, so you say egg as "ayg"?
I say egg and Megan with the e sound in "fresh"

I live in Northern California too, and most people I know pronounce egg like "ayg".

No, but Megan rhymes with "pagan" in my accent.

So you say the first syllable of "pagan" as "peg"?

No, it's pay-gun, but I still see no difference between mEGGan and MAY-gun. Same sound to me.
