Also my form tutor, who is from New Zealand, pronounces it MEE-GAN which is pretty annoying, as everyone calls me that now." (Report as inappropriate)

    Comment left Mar 16, 2008: "We've just called our daughter Megan because we love the name and have Welsh friends (it's originally a Welsh name - not Irish as some people think). Living in Australia it's hard though as they pronounce it Mee-gan not MEG-an as it should be!" (Report as inappropriate)

    Comment left Mar 10, 2008: "It was cute when I was little. But now that I'm older it is common and child like. There really is no way to spruce it up for interviews and I hate it when people use the harsh E sound MEE-gan" (Report as inappropriate)

    Comment left Mar 07, 2008: "My name is Meghan and I think it is a great name. My parents named me Meghan because we are Irish, but as an adult I found out it really isn't an Irish name:(" (Report as inappropriate)

    Comment left Feb 18, 2008: "I don't like it. Its sounds like an old lady. I am glad my name isn't megan. It is way too common. If my name was Megan I would want it to be spelled Meaghanne. It would be bbettterrr :)" (Report as inappropriate)

    Comment left Feb 09, 2008: "I always here it pronounced May-gen, it's MEG-an!! I know several others with my name!
