Re: Megan pronunciation/ “brics tegan”
in reply to a message by queenv
What part of the Eastern US? I'm in New England and Megan can be MEH-gan, MAY-gan, or MEE-gan, depending on the person. It's MEH-gan and MAY-gan are the most common and I've heard about the same number of people use either, and very few people are MEE-gan.

Originally from New Jersey, have lived in South Carolina for 23 years. I've lived, for fairly short periods of time, in New England, the Midwest, West, and Texas, but I don't recall hearing Megan pronounced by anyone in those places, lol. I do believe that Americans pronounce Megan both with the first syllable rhyming with "peg" and with it rhyming with "ray", but then I think the difference can be pretty subtle anyway.
