Help[Opinions] Re: How do you pronounce Megan?
in reply to a message by Martha
I say MAY-gen.
Never thought about it before, because it's in the "Formerly overused, so there's a lot of them around" category, but I like it well enough.
But every time I hear it, I think about people being clueless about names, which annoys me, so I feel annoyed. That's because back in the 1980s, when Megan was popular, I told my husband that a former co-worker of his and his wife were planning to name their coming baby Megan if it was a girl. He laughed and said, "Poor girl", as though it were the weirdest, most unheard of name ever. Annoyance.
