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 makes me think of Americans who wish they were Irish! - although I gather it's actually used in Ireland now, and I saw one in a Welsh BA recently.
Does it sound very much the same as Aaron when you say it out loud, or different? (Where's your accent from?) Different. I'd say A-rən with a short a and E-rin with a short e, like egg. My accent is RP with Welsh bits.
When you meet an Erin, do you like or dislike her name and why?
I've never met one irl. I like the sound and the look of it, but the cod-Irish thing puts me off a bit.
How do you say MEGAN - with the E as in egg? as in eel? or does the name rhyme with "pagan"?
As in egg
Do you say Megan and Meghan the same, or not?
Never met a Meghan, so not sure - I'd ask how its owner pronounced it.
Do you like or dislike Megan, and do you like Meghan more, or less?
I think Megan is nice enough. It's practically stereotypical on Welsh females, but it's a friendly and un-frilly name. Meghan and other silly spellings make me cranky.
How many Megans / Meghans have you known, how old are they, and where are they from?
I couldn't count them. Lots, from old ladies to babies. I'm related to four of them and friends with a couple more. They're all Welsh.
