Too odd?!

[LissieJess]

I'm currently 34+1 with a little girl. I love the name Megan, but I prefer it pronounced in the American way. So to make it clear, I'm planning to spell it Maygan. Or is that too weird??

Well then it’s not Megan is it. If you don’t want it pronounced as such. Obviously you wouldn’t have a Maygan and a Megan in the same family but as far as I’m concerned They’re 2 different names. However people will argue against that I’m sure. I mean my sister is Aimee, but It’s only the spelling that’s different not the pronunciation
You’re doing the right thing, though by spelling it how you want it said.
But Expect people to come on saying unique spellings are a no I'm

I think it's quite a nice idea and unique without crossing the line of being-weird-to-prove-a-point.

Maygan and Megan are two completely difference names. In fact Maygan isn’t even a name. I’d say it’s too odd. People aren’t going to understand that Maygan is an American sounding Megan, they’ll just think it’s an unusual name.

Maybe Maigan or Maegan , the May is a bit odd to me.

It looks ridiculous.

Different*

Maegan?

It's ridiculous.

Maegan is much better

I prefer it to Megan, but I do prefer the other spellings such as maegan!

Maegan

Maigan’s nice

Don't do it.

Maegan

Hmmm I don’t really like it, I’d be worried people would think it was a mistake and she’d spend her whole life spelling it out.

If you don’t like Megan I’d go for another name entirely.

Just no

How about Reagan?

Meagan

You mean you like the name Megan but want people to pronounce it in a fake American accent?? That is pretty silly, sorry.

Yes too odd

Meghan? I think people will pronounce that they way that I think you are going for with Maygan... Otherwise, I wouldn't. She faces a lifetime of misspellings, and people may well just say May-Gan, which doesn't sound right.

Megan or Meghan is really nice. Maygen is weird however you spell it!

Sorry. I’m lost here.

Megan (to me from NI) is pronounced as if you’re saying “maygan”

I know a Megan and that’s how she’s pronounces it.

Is there another what to say Megan?

Lol - this part of the site is the gift that keeps on giving
