I would really like to hear your opinions on the name. We just found out it's a baby girl, so we are discussing and vetoing names that we like/dislike.

We both like the name but would like to hear your opinions 😁. Thank you! x

It's a bit 90s. I'm not overly keen.

Snap8TheCat · 10/09/2017 17:58

I have one and have never had it mispronounced or misspelt.

I love it, obviously.

userofthiswebsite · 10/09/2017 17:58

one of my faves

AnnieAnoniMouse · 10/09/2017 17:57

I love it if it's pronounced Mehg-han but not if it's pronounced Mee-gan and so I wouldn't use it myself because I'd get really fed up of either correcting people or trying to ignore it.

DiegoMadonna · 10/09/2017 17:55

I like it.

addler · 10/09/2017 17:55

I really like it. A solid yet feminine name. I don't like the mee-gan pronunciation either.

WinterRose92 · 10/09/2017 17:53

Love it!

Whenwillthesunshine · 10/09/2017 17:48

I love it and would have used it if I had more girls

Essexgirlupnorth · 10/09/2017 17:29

I have a Megan she is nearly four. Not met any other little girls called Megan either so it isn't super popular

17caterpillars1mouse · 10/09/2017 17:27

It's a lovely name

DramaAlpaca · 10/09/2017 17:22

I find it quite hard sounding, to be honest, so it's not a name I particularly like, but it makes a refreshing change from all the really popular names about at the moment.

But the only thing that matters is that you & your DP both like it.

Ninjakittysmells · 10/09/2017 17:19

I like it a lot!

Liadain · 10/09/2017 17:17

Lovely name. I have taught a couple before.

Jedbartletforpresident · 10/09/2017 17:16

I like it, but I am increasingly hearing it pronounced "mee-gan" rather than "meh-gan" and I while I don't mind the alternative pronunciation I wonder if it would annoy me. Might be a regional thing though

bridgetreilly · 10/09/2017 16:59

It's fine. I do like Meg as a nickname.

TallulahBetty · 10/09/2017 16:44

Meh. I find it really blah. Not horrible but nothing special.

Oly5 · 10/09/2017 16:40

I love it

MammieBear · 10/09/2017 16:39

Lovely name in my opinion, a good way to honour a Margaret as it's a variation.
