Megan is MAY-gən in the majority of the US. I did know a MEE-gən, but she was an anomaly and constantly had to correct other people's pronunciation of her name. MEG-ən is not a usual pronunciation, at least in the western US. So to me, Maygen and Maegan are nothing more than "phonetic spellings" of Megan.

I've lived in California my whole life, and MAY-gən is the usual pronunciation here. MEG-ən is hard for me to say because I'm not used to it.

Thanks Claudia! I'd only heard MEG-ən on US T.V. so I wasn't aware of the MAY-gən pronunciation being widespread.That pretty much confirms that Maygen is just a variant spelling of Maegan.

MEG-en is what I'm used to.Alexander is more used to it as well. I'm from the East Coast, he's from the Midwest.
