[Opinions] Re: How do you pronounce Megan?
in reply to a message by Lily8
In Australia it is more like MEEG-an. And all spellings are pronounced MEEG-an except for occasionally Meghan which sometimes people say as MEG-an but you would be correcting people all the time.
Most Megans I know here still get called Meg and Meg is pronounced MEG not like Mick. Other times they get called MEEGS for short. Not really sure how that would be spelt on paper though. Megan and all its spellings was quite popular in my age groups so I know quite a few.
Anyway, I actually really want to pronounce Megan like MEG-an, especially after spending time in the US and also because my family is Irish so my grandparents always say MEG-an and that is what I always heard when I was little. Plus, it sounds so much prettier than MEEG-an which to me is easily on of the ugliest names around. But in reality, I do live in Australia so I have to accept that here it is said MEEG-an and that is how I must pronounce it too.
