Meghan

Meghan & Amber are ruined names!

I don't like this spelling of Megan, though there are worse spellings out there. My real problem with this name is the association with that narcissist Meghan Markle. I am so tired of hearing about her and her trainwreck of a husband.

I like the name Meghan very much, but maybe that's because my name is Meghan. Either way, I am very passionate about the name and my friend who is also named Meghan. But still, even though a lot of people say they don”t like the name Meghan, I strongly dissagree.

I don’t like the H. It just doesn’t look right.

I like this because of my teacher. Haha. It’s a cool name.

It looks misspelled and it's very 80s/90s dated. The H in there just doesn't make any sense at all.

Megan is so much sweeter and more classic.

I don't like the spelling with the H in the middle. I like Megan more, or even better, just Meg.

Very dated!

Somehow I don't like it! It feels a little bit dry, maybe too harsh. Not that bad, but really, nothing much good either.

Meghan is a great name.

I personally like the name, Meghan but that's probably because my name is Meghan. My name gets misspelled all the time, it's most commonly spelled Megan but I have also had it spelled Meaghan which I think is a weird spelling for it but anyway. And a lot of people think my nickname is Meg and it's not. I hate being called Meg, I don't have a nickname nor do I want one, also no offense to some people who spell their name Megan but I personally think it sounds like you're saying vegan but with an M.

This one is the variant that I can tolerate. It’s not bad. I still prefer Megan though.

The name Meghan is beautiful.

I pronounce Megan and Meghan the same with the 'e' like the French 'é' and a whole a (not the ə).

---

The difference is in the feeling: Megan is flat, dated and common while Meghan is totally linked with the Duchess of Sussex in my mind.

---

Although I dislike variant names I think that Meghan wins because of the famous bearer!

This name gets confused with the Indian names Megha and Meghana which are totally different and pronounced May-gha and Mayg-ana due to the fact that this name is common and those names are highly similar. Pronunciation is Meh-gun usually, but there are many spellings with this name like Megan, Meghan, Meagan, Meaghan, Meggan, etc.

Spelling Meghan with an “h” is like putting an “h” in yoghurt. I can’t stand it. It’s completely unnecessary.

I hate the comment about "Yoghurt". You're being cruel and hurtful to people whose name is spelled with an H...

My daughter's name is Meagan, (pronounced May-gan, and frequently misspelled, and pronounced wrong).
I also looked up Irish baby names, which was in there.

---

But I don't understand all the hate. It's a name. And I appreciate all spellings and pronunciations.

The only version I accept for this name is "Meghan". All others are horrible and tasteless; people trying to cheer up an otherwise boring and typical name. I would've liked it; it's just everybody's name.

If there was someone named Meghan Rita, or Rita Meghan, it would be an anagram of nightmare!

I am a Meghan as well (MEG-han). When I was given this name by my Japanese father, who married my Irish mother, there just weren’t any Meghans, Megan’s or any other spelling around. This was the very early 70s and I didn’t run into another one until I was nearly 14 - and she was 5 years younger and spelled Megan. So I’ve grown to love my name and am especially glad to have an “h” in it.

My name is spelled Méhgan and pronounced MAY-GEN.. I happen to like all the spellings, and the fact that’s it’s one of the few names out there that allows people to pronounce it differently. I’m still confused on the meaning, but one common meaning that keeps popping up is that it means “a pearl”... I’ll take it.

Hi, my name is Meghan and I find it quite annoying when people say it's like Megan but it's not. People can't write my name properly or get me personal items with my name on because it's so expensive. People say Meegan for my name but I want them to say it properly with the special H. I like it but people always tell or say to me Hi Meghan Trainor and I'm like, I'm a fan of her but stop saying that to me.

I don't like Meghan Trainor and her garbage music, which ruins the name for me.

My mother named me M-E-G-H-A-N-N-E.

---

I have never met anyone else who has seen this spelling, and 75% of people don't even dare try to pronounce it.

---

I went through a few years of hating it, but now I love it. I'm creative so it fits me.

---

I've always known Megan meant 'Pearl', but it has been fun to read through everyone's experience with such a customizable name! ;]

I named my child Meghin. Pronounced it like Maygin. I haven't seen that spelling anywhere since.

OK so... lol... My name is spelled M-E-G-A-N.. The history of the name is confusing to me and where it came from. After reading the comments about where it came from... I'm still definitely confused. When I first started looking up my name I was looking for a funny link about what people with my name go through... this is HILARIOUS! Of course the first question any Meghan or Megan or Maygan or Meagan or Magan or Magen or Megen or Meggan ask when meeting someone with the same name is..."so how do you spell your name?" LMAO its kinda interesting to hear all the different ways WE spell our names that pretty much are pronounced the SAME way by just about every differently named human-being. AND YES every Megan or Meghan or Maygan or Meagan or Magan or Magen or Megen or Meggan... wants to think they have the best spelling ((im the same way.. MEGAN is the BEST)) But I guess my point is there is no reason to be mean rude about it lol... lets just laugh n call it "THE STRUGGLES OF HAVING THE NAME MEGAN"

---

#1: When someone writes your name down... They will most likely misspell it... actually they always misspell it.. and we secretly think "those idiots.."

---

#2: When u hear your name from afar... it sounds like Bacon, Bakin, or Makin... n you're like "I like mine crispy plz ";)

---

#3: When someone forgets your name... they will 9 times out of 10 guess... Morgan?... WTF! I hate that name (not trying to be mean)... tip #1 never give them a chance to guess!

---

#4: The annoying times when some relates your name to someone famous and the guys always say.."oooo Megan like Megan Fox"... and I'm like yep...same name, CAPTAIN FREAKIN' OBVIOUS.

---

#5: WE HAVE THE BEST NAME IN THE WHOLE WORLD REGARDLESS OF THE SPELLING! Lol yeah.. I know this one isn't a struggle... this is definitely one of the many PERKS!

I love the name Megan & I happen to like this spelling. :)

It's your name, it doesn't define you. When I order a pizza and the person asks "is that m e g a n?" I say yes, am I worried that I'll never get my order, cause they are looking for a Mee-gan? No. I worry about the spelling on my paycheck and taxes. One of my utility companies has me in as Meshan, you can bet they still provide me power and I still get the bills. I am damn proud to be Irish, but I'm not going to have a heart attack every time someone spells my name wrong. There's way too many other things to worry about. It's an awesome name, I like the h and I'm proud to carry my Irish heritage on.

I think everyone should stop being so close minded about the spelling. My name is MEGGAN. 2 G's, no H. I LOVE the spelling. I have seen so many different spellings and variants of this name it's crazy! but if everyones name was spelled the same, wouldn't it be a bit boring?

I love my name and I am VERY Irish. So I believe everyone should just love everyone and get along but also remember that the best way to spell it is M-E-G-H-A-N. I HATE when I have to correct people, SPELL IT RIGHT. Anyways, I believe Meghan is a very popular name. I have many Meghan's in my grade (Meghan B., Meghan C., Meghan F., Megan G., and another Megan G.) so everyone stop fighting. Meghan originates from Ireland from the name Margrate, I even have a plaque. Yes, my parents were completly dorky and got me a plaque. So stop being wrong. Thank you. :D.

My name is M-E-G-H-A-N and I hate when I tell people my name is Meghan, they spell Megan... ummm... wrong pronunciation and not my name. Its NOT meeg-an IT'S meg-han so learn how to properly spell the pronounced name. And if you are buying something for someone named Meghan, DO NOT get them something with MEGAN because its incorrect and offensive!

Ew. I HATE the name Meghan. I think I would rather have my name spelled "Megan" just because it's easier for others to spell it and you can always find a keychain with the right spelling! I personally think this name has no "pizazz" to it and it's boring and common. There aren't any good nicknames either. Meghan is just stupid sounding in every way. Especially MEE-Gan. Blech.

---

I also hate it when I tell guys my name and they immediately think oh, megan fox. I'm just like shut the F up. I'm not like megan fox in any way. Maybe they think it flatters me when the bring it up?

I think that Meghan is a beautiful name and anyone named Meghan must be beautiful! Although I think it is better as a boys name.

Everyone is pretty much wrong. Megan and Meghan are different names, they are clearly spelt different and are even pronounced different. Their origins are the same which makes it understandable to think that they are in fact the same name! They are not! My name is Meghan, not Megan. If it was then you would drop the 'H' it's in there for a reason, it's a different name and you need to pronounce the h. Please do so in the future because is very frustrating!

Even though it is my name, I think Meghan is too popular. In fifth grade, just in my homeroom alone, there was a Meghan A., Meghan B., Meghan C., Megan D., Maegan E., Morgan F., Meggie G., and a Meghan H. And those were their actual initials. Everyone kept mixing us up and some actually called me Mohegan! As in Mohegan Sun.

This name looks more complete then Megan does.

My twin sister's name is spelled this way and pronounced MEG-en like all other million Meghans, Megans and Meagans all over the place. The only reason I like this name is because our names don't match.

As other's have pointed out, Meghan is an attempt to re-Irishize a name that wasn't Irish to begin with and probably wouldn't have been spelled that way even if it were. Megan is the original, most accurate form (well, the only ACCURATE form, but people are going to spell it phonetically and everything). I like the look of the 'h' but I wouldn't use it since it isn't really correct, and would be pronounced differently if it were an actual Irish name spelled that way anyhow.

Meghan is my middle name, and it is always being mispronouned, but I love it anyway!

My name is Meghan. I don't like it because I know a ton of Meghan's and Megans and Meaghans. I think it looks better when there's an 'h' in it. It's less common, although still popluar enough. I hate when all my teachers at school pronounce it 'MEE-gan' instead of MEG-an.

I know two girls named this: one with the h and one without. The girl with the H is nicer (not like that means anything). But I like it spelled better with the h.

I think 'Meghan' is the best name and the only correct way to spell it. I don't like to hear people saying that 'Meghan' is another form of 'Megan' because in reality, 'Megan' is just the way for lazy people to shorted such a wonderful name. I care so much about the 'H' in my name that I continue to hold the 'H' strong even in my nickname, Megh.

To the above user Megh: MEGAN is the original and CORRECT way of spelling the name, and the "h" has been added randomly some way along the line, nothing is wrong with this as many names have variants, but however, Megan is more correct and most variants as mentioned above have been created in the Americas to make the name more "original" and "creative". Megan is NOT a lazy way of spelling the name thank you very much please research these things before you make such comments.

My name is Meghan and I think that the spelling of my name is pretty awesome. So don't be knockin' it and saying it's supposed to be spelled "Megan" because I hate it when it's spelled "Megan" and "Meghan" is so much better.
