Erin:
- It's just a name to me.
- I pronounce Erin and Aaron identically. I'm from Texas, but I've also lived in New York and Florida, and I've never heard them pronounced otherwise unless it was by someone who was from another country and/or not a native English speaker.
- I don't like Erin because I find it too dated and blah. Aaron is one of my favorite boy names, so I'm sure that contributes to my lack of enthusiasm.

Megan:
- With an e as in egg or bet. Most people here in Texas say MAY-gin (or MAYG-in), though. I think that's why I go a little nuts with the spelling, something I'm usually so critical of. I prefer both Meghan and Meggan/Meggin over Megan. I feel like they emphasize the sound I would want.
- I like Meghan a lot. Megan, a little bit less.
- I've known a ton of Megans, all spellings, from all over the US. The youngest, a Maygan, will be in kindergarten next fall. The eldest would have to be over 45 by now.
