HelpRe: Erin & Megan
in reply to a message by mirfak
-Erin does make me think of Ireland, but not in the same way that meeting someone actually named Ireland would.
-Erin and Aaron do not sound the same in my Northern California accent. I mean, they're similar, but the first vowel sound is definitely distinct.
-I don't like Erin. It's so bland and dated and it bugs me that it's just Irish for Ireland (well, the Anglicized spelling, but still).
-Megan = MAY-gin (hard G, not like gin the drink), rhymes with pagan
-Yes.
-I hate Meghan. It looks really awkward and ugly and makes me want to say meg-HAN. Megan, like Erin, is bland and dated, and it bugs me that it's a nickname (yes, I'm picky).
-I've known two Megans. They'd both be around 20-22 by now. They're both from California.
