Help[Opinions] Re: Megan
in reply to a message by Perrine
Before it became popular, the only pronunciation I ever heard was the original one: MEGan. But with the MEEgan version came the whole bunch of current spelling variations, though I;ll never understand where the -h- came from.
I used to like it very much. Now, I'd avoid it.

I don't really know where the H came from either but some people in the comment section claim it is more authentic that way or that it looks more Gaelic (it is not more authentic and Megan is Welsh) but I guess that might be why people started adding it.

lol tha'ts a bit funny actually. I was a classmate and teammate of a Meghan growing up whose family was deeply connected to their irish heritage and their mom had picked this spelling specifically honor that heritage, but as I have done some more reading it is possibly not entirely true and I honestly find that a little funny if such were the case. Mainly because this family was a bit "pretentious" about their background and considered themselves of less "mixed heritage" than other peers in the community.

Megan is Welsh, not Irish, but I sort of understand why people think it is. I thought it was Irish too and as I know an Irish Megan I always want to place it in Ireland somehow. But yeah, not Irish.
I read an interesting article about the name. Pegan or Pegen is another diminutive. But Megan is nicer, in my opinion.

Pegan is interesting, a little awkward but interesting

Pegen and Pegan are interesting and probably has similar origins to the Irish Pegeen or Pegein meaning little Margaret.
