Re: Erin & Megan
in reply to a message by mirfak
Erin and Megan, the "Irish" names of choice for girls my age. Along with their brothers, Pat and Ryan/Bryan. Seriously, all I can think of is how dated these names are. According to facebook I know 10 girls named Megan/Meaghan/Meghan/Meagan currently and 6 named Erin/Eryn.
Erin to me is pronounced differently than Aaron. EH-ren = Erin. AH-ren = Aaron.
Megan I would say like "egg" unless corrected since that is the pronunciation I have run into most often, MAY being the second most, and only one MEE, but she spelled it "Megen".
I live in New England.
