So I have always wanted to call my little girl this but need opinions - could be back to the drawing board. I have a Harry already and now Prince Harry is about to marry a Megan soooo I would have Harry and Megan 🙈 how much does that matter? My DH says its cringe. But its always been my name!!! 😓

Sorry, but you can't have a Harry and Megan! Would you like to have been called Diana, with a brother called Charles?!

I'm sure you can find another lovely name. How about Rose Megan?

NapQueen · 26/04/2018 21:53

Rose megan.

venus417 · 26/04/2018 21:56

I know. Bloody typical! Im not keen on Rose as a first name. Any other suggestions. I like megan cos its not top 10 but still stands test of time. Its not too girl but still a pretty name.

I think it might increase in popularity so even tho it's currently not in the top 10 it could be soon!

highinthesky · 26/04/2018 21:58

Sorry, isn't it Meghan?

Btw I think it's a lovely name.

NapQueen · 26/04/2018 22:04

What about just Meg?

Names similar (imo) to Megan:

Have it anyway if you love it

Mumoftwoyoungkids · 26/04/2018 22:10

I couldn’t have a William for the same reason.

aspergersrus · 26/04/2018 22:16

My daughter is called Megan lucy Kate Rose (Rose is our surname) so I am biased but love the name!

IVflytrap · 26/04/2018 23:24

I probably wouldn't. How about...

Bethan
Seren
Mirren / Merryn
Kirsten
Keren (or Karen?)
Molly
Erin
Amber
Martha
Morgan
Georgia
Nancy
Sally
Tessa
Anna
Ellen

AuntieStella · 26/04/2018 23:28

Margaret, with Meg as short form?

AnyaMoondial · 26/04/2018 23:43

Rosa, or Rosie maybe, instead of Rose as first name?

I think I'd just use Megan anyway though if it were me.

BackforGood · 26/04/2018 23:46

I have liked the name Megan for ages too, but I do thing you would be bringing constant irritations for them for the rest of their lives if you have a Harry and Megan now. Sorry, I agree with dh.

RavenWings · 27/04/2018 00:07

I agree that Harry and Megan is a bit much.

stellinaa · 27/04/2018 02:16

I know of siblings named Harry and Megan.. though they are in their teens now so I don't think it applies as much.

I do think it would be a bit much, maybe use Megan as a middle name? Do you have a shortlist with other girls names you really like?

SheGotBetteDavisEyes · 27/04/2018 02:21

Margot?

LoveInTokyo · 27/04/2018 08:53

I would probably use it anyway.

What is it that you like about the name Megan?

venus417 · 27/04/2018 09:05

I love emily, charlotte, grace and isabelle but close friends/family have these. Of those suggested i love freya. Hadn't considered that. I had considered Annabel but wouldnt want her to get Anna.

Megan Rose is lovely, and Meg is a nice nick name.
I would go with it.

LexieLulu · 27/04/2018 12:58

Harry's actual name is Henry

Meghan is spelt differently.

If that's anything?! It wouldn't be the end of the world if you used these two names

Octonaught · 27/04/2018 13:00

If you Freya, call her that. It’s a lovely name

BasicBetty · 27/04/2018 13:05

Megan Rose is lovely - very pretty. The Harry/Meghan association will die down, so it wouldn't bother me. There must be plenty of siblings/couples called Kate/Catherine and William.

Oysterbabe · 27/04/2018 13:09

I don't think you can, sorry.

stellinaa · 27/04/2018 13:17

I love Charlotte and Grace too, such gorgeous names. Here are some other suggestions you may like (and sound nice with Megan as a mn):
Scarlett
Belle
Juliet
Sofia
Elena
Natalie
Alexa
Gabriella
Chloe
Hannah
Faith

MrsGjee · 27/04/2018 13:19

Harry's actual name is Henry and Meghan's is Rachel so go for it and tell people that if they say something
