Too odd?!

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??

is that too weird? Yes.

I prefer it pronounced in the American way. Move to America.

Meghan? I think people will pronounce that they way that Ithinkyou are going for with Maygan... Otherwise, I wouldn't.

Exactly this!! Plus I don't know how to say this, but your spelling is the word 'gay man jumbled up.

Is there another what to say Megan?

Meh Gen is a way to pronounce too, or meh gan

Yes mehgen or Meghan both sound the same as maygan do to me.

I agree with pp meigan is a good idea.

Oh dear! That would be a no, then!

Awful op

Don’t do it even if you move to America!

@JoxerGoesToStuttgart I live in SW England and every Megan I’ve known has been Megg-un. Must be regional/national differences

@JoxerGoesToStuttgart here I’m the uk it’s pronounced as it’s spelt - literally Megan.

Meagan OP?

Ridiculous and awful.

She will spell it every day of her life

I’d pronounce Megan like mehg’n

If you want may-gan then I’d spell it Meagan or Meigan

I live in SW England and every Megan I’ve known has been Megg-un. Must be regional/national differences

yes! That’s the same as maygan in my accent! I’m not understanding what the different way to say it is. These all sound the same!

here I’m the uk it’s pronounced as it’s spelt - literally Megan.

I’m in the U.K. too. (I said so in my post)

I have a 12 year old Megan, we pronounce it like Meg-un as does every other Megan we’ve ever met. The only other pronunciation we’ve had is from my uncle who calls her Mee-gun but he’s wrong (and a bit weird).

Does OP mean she wants it pronounced ”mee gan”?

Jox first part is Me

No it would be pronounced that way but she wants may

Xpost Kim!

I work with a Maylin, which I think comes from her dad's Malaysian heritage.

Maygan is quite clunky and people might instinctively pronounce it MayGAN. Which sounds like a car. Renault Maygan.

So OP wants Megan, pronounced like, Megan, and she thinks she needs to change the spelling in order to get it pronounced that way? Fixing a problem that doesn’t exist.

Please don’t do this to your child - they might want to be taken seriously one day

I don’t think I know anyone who would pronounce it May

Meh or Me only

@JoxerGoesToStuttgart no she wants it pronounced ‘may’ not ‘meg’

That’s the same sound!

Megan is pronounced Megan in America. There’s no such name as Maygan, and it sounds ridiculous anyway.
