Megan?

Still considering names for 2nd baby - don't yet know if DD/DS.

Considering Clara but also recently thought of Megan as well! Have only met one other, and notice that on ONS it's very much on a downward trend - so there hopefully won't be loads.

I think it's a cute, feisty name- and has a lovely shortening Meg. Also bucks the trend of names ending in -a or -ie so will sound a bit "different". What do people think? And do you know many?

Thanks

I love the name but I'm biased as I have one. I would prefer it to stay Megan and not be shortened but I know it might happen.
anotheremma we do the same with our daughter but meg-moo instead, she was also known as nena for a year as her big sister couldn't say her name. Only a year between them. She still answers to ne-na :)

Love it! Wink

Good name.

I know two Megans. One is 17, the other is in her late 40s - her name is actually Margaret Ann, but it has always been shortened to Megan.

Ace name.

I like it Smile

It's a lovely name! My sister's called Megan (so I'm biased) and we call her Megs, Megsy, Meggie-moo...!

I have a Megan. It's a beautiful name not bias at all Grin

I like it. I know one who is late 30s, one who is 6 and I think there is one at dd's nursery. Good solid name, sufficiently ageless and classless not to make assumptions about.

I wouldn't pick it (surname issues), but think it's lovely. Know a very sweet 11 year old one.

I've currently got a 2 week old Megan snuggled up in her sling, I think it's a lovely name.

I know one Megan aged about 2.
It's a great name, I love it x

Met one once, she'd be about 30 now. I really really like it. I can think of 2 famous megans also. Nothing wrong with them.

Clara is popular on here and I know 2 Clara's under 5.
