Does the name
Erin always make you think of
Ireland, or is it mostly just a personal name to you?
Erin makes me think of
Ireland only because my best friend growing up was named
Erin (little sister
Megan!) and her dad was obsessed with his "Irish heritage"
Does it sound very much the same as
Aaron when you say it out loud, or different? (Where's your accent from?)
Sounds the same as
Aaron. I'm from SC.
When you meet an
Erin, do you like or dislike her name and why?
I'm kind of neutral on
Erin. I like it more than other 80s names like
Brittany and
Tiffany, but less than other 80s names like
Megan and
Caitlin.
How do you say
MEGAN - with the E as in egg? as in eel? or does the name rhyme with "pagan"?
E as in egg.
Do you say
Megan and
Meghan the same, or not?
Same - to me,
Meghan is just an elaboration of
Megan.
Do you like or dislike
Megan, and do you like
Meghan more, or less?
I like
Megan. I like it leagues more than
Meghan or my least favorite,
Meaghan.
How many Megans / Meghans have you known, how old are they, and where are they from?
I know too many to count. Tons and tons, mostly from SC, but recently I've met one from Boston and one from rural
Indiana.
ETA: as a kid I thought M-EGG-en and MAY-gen were two totally different names. I only heard MAY-gen on TV cause no one I knew pronounced it that way. IT seems more northern? But anyway, there was a MAY-gen on My Little Pony and I imagined her name as "Magen." I really wanted this name for a little while as a kid, before my "I want to be named
Michelle" full house phase.
