Megan

And I pronounce is MEHG-in, although I know many people pronounce it MAY-gin. Either way Megan is the only spelling I like. Meghan would be my second choice. Maegen just looks ugly to me.

I like plain old Megan, pronounced May-gen. Meghan would be my second favorite, and Maegen my least.

I prefer Megan prn meg-in with not much of an emphasis on either syllable, but I have to admit that a couple years ago Maegan was pretty close to my favorite name, and prn the same way as your friend. I still like to say it that way, but figure I would still spell it Megan if I did because with a southern accent (which I have) that ambiguous vowel comes in and you can make it sound that way without seeming unnatural. Unfortunately as much as I like it, I can't use it because it's my brother's ex-wife's name.

Megan pronounced meg-an. Meghan isn't bad either.

My cousins name is Meaghan and I hate that spelling.
Megan just looks better.
