I don't care for Meagan...It looks like it could be said Mee-gan...since in most words when "two vowels go walking- the first one does the talking...lol I taught 2nd grade)

What pronunciation are you going with? Here's my take on it:

Megan is pronounced Meh-gin

Meghan and Maegan are prounounced the same: May-gin

Meagan is prounounced Mee-gin

Not everyone else shares these views (someone on this board actually once told me I was "crazy" for thinking this way) but there you go, in any case.

I personally like the pronunciation May-gin.

Just my 2cents! :o)

My dd is Meaghan and is nearly always pronounced Meghin. To my Scottish relatives this is the right spelling-Megan there is pronounced Meegin. Since it is a Scottish/Gaelic name I will trust their information!

Good luck
