Hi, I've been looking at some old threads about names DH and I like for DD and someone mentioned that Megan is a 90s name?

Do you agree? Was it in fashion a few years ago and now sounds dated. I really like it and had thought it was timeless but now am not so sure. Also do you know many Megans?

I like it a lot ;)

Not overused (round here anyway) but yet not obscure enough to require spelling out.

I love it, if I'd had a girl she would have been Megan, nn Meg. Go for it!

Definitely a classic. It's a lovely name.

It's such an old name it can't really be dated. It did go through a spell of being particularly popular about 10-12 years ago.

But Hannah was wildly popular amongst my age group and one couldn't call it dated!

Classic

The youngest Megan I know of is about 4 or 5.

If you like it, go for it.
