[Opinions] Re: Megan
lol tha'ts a bit funny actually. I was a classmate and teammate of a Meghan growing up whose family was deeply connected to their irish heritage and their mom had picked this spelling specifically honor that heritage, but as I have done some more reading it is possibly not entirely true and I honestly find that a little funny if such were the case. Mainly because this family was a bit "pretentious" about their background and considered themselves of less "mixed heritage" than other peers in the community.

Megan is Welsh, not Irish, but I sort of understand why people think it is. I thought it was Irish too and as I know an Irish Megan I always want to place it in Ireland somehow. But yeah, not Irish.I read an interesting article about the name. Pegan or Pegen is another diminutive. But Megan is nicer, in my opinion.

Pegan is interesting, a little awkward but interesting

Pegen and Pegan are interesting and probably has similar origins to the Irish Pegeen or Pegein meaning little Margaret.
