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? It's just a personal name to me, I knew a lot of them before I knew the meaning of the name and so the meaning never became overwhelming to me.
Does it sound very much the same as Aaron when you say it out loud, or different? (Where's your accent from?) I say Erin as EH-rin and Aaron as EH-run (not sure if I captured the first sound correctly), and the difference is subtle, but it is very much there. My accent is a combination of the southern tier of NY and of NC
When you meet an Erin, do you like or dislike her name and why? I like the name. Sometimes I don't think it suits people very well, but I've always known Erins who were nice people and who I got along with, so it has a very positive happy vibe to me. I don't have synaesthesia, but Erin is a very yellow happy name to me.
How do you say MEGAN - with the E as in egg? as in eel? or does the name rhyme with "pagan"? I say it like egg, though I know people named Maegan pronounced like Pagan whose names I thought were Megan with a different accent
Do you say Megan and Meghan the same, or not? The same.
Do you like or dislike Megan, and do you like Meghan more, or less? I like the sound of Megan, but I have terrible associations with it that I am unable to overcome. I don't like Meghan as much, it's cluttered seeming, even though the pronunciation is more clear.
How many Megans / Meghans have you known, how old are they, and where are they from? I've known to many to count off the top of my head. I would say probably upwards of twenty during school. I have an Aunt nicknamed Megan by her mother (her name is Margaret) who is 50. Otherwise, I know of a lot between the ages of 20-26 and the youngest I know is 8. All from the Eastern US. But really that just says more about my sphere of aquaintances than the name.
