Meghan

My name is Megan, pronounced May-gen. I have never had the nickname Meg because of the pronunciation of my name. I have been told by a welsh man that it is Welsh. I was told it was a pet name for my grandmother Margaret and that it means pearl. I lived in a house with a Meaghan pronounced Meg-in, a Megan pronounced Meg-in and a Megan pronounced May-gen... everyone thought we had the same name until we pronounced/spelt it for them. Regardless we went by our surnames to forgo confusion. I have been called Mee-gen, Meg-in, and May-gen and I answer to all. I also live overseas and realize that people pronounce words differently due to accents. So I'm not so hot and bothered about the pronunciation anymore, although I introduce myself as May-gen.

I see people saying Megan is pronounced Me-gan, my name is Megan and it's the exact same as Meghan. Meg-an.

The name Meghan is not short for Megan, the names are spelled differently and therefore have different pronunciations. Megan he prounounced mee-gan and Meghan is pronounced meg-han. Meghan is the actual Irish spelling, Megan is from a different native or it's the altered spelling over the years. But either way, the 2 names ARE different, both in history/heritage, propounciation and meaning.
