Re: 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?
Not really, it actually makes me think of the word 'urine'!
Does it sound very much the same as Aaron when you say it out loud, or different? (Where's your accent from?)
No, they sound completely different to me. Erin is 'EH-rin' with the e as in egg, and Aaron is 'AH-ron' with the a like Adam, if that makes sense. I'm from the south west of England.
When you meet an Erin, do you like or dislike her name and why?
I've never actually met an Erin. It's more popular on younger girls here, and I don't really know many kids.
I do dislike it, because of the urine thing! It also has quite a dated feel to me, even though it's not dated here. I guess its because I know it was popular in the US in the 80s.
How do you say MEGAN - with the E as in egg? as in eel? or does the name rhyme with "pagan"?
With the E as in egg.
Do you say Megan and Meghan the same, or not? I say them the same
Do you like or dislike Megan, and do you like Meghan more, or less?
I dislike both, but Megan is better than Meghan.
How many Megans / Meghans have you known, how old are they, and where are they from?
I know two. One is my cousin who has just turned 19. She's from Northern Ireland. The second is a girl I went to school with who is about 23, she's English.
