Wow. If only ever say Meg-en like PP above and am shocked to learn this is even a thing. I believe there is an actress whose name is spelled Meegan and who pronounces it that way but it would never occur to me to say that or May-gun to someone whether it was spelled Megan, Meghan, Meagan etc.

Op here. Thanks PPs.

Meg AN

I'm a Megan. I say meh-gen. So do my parents. My husband and his family and some of my extended family and a decent amount of other people say "may-gen'. It's relatively subtle so it's never bothered me but I do notice it.

May gun

I start with MEG-an. If that's wrong, and the person says, "No, it's [whatever]", then I pronounce it "[whatever]".

I'd say it however the person pronounces it but I've never heard anyone pronounce it may-gen (or mee-gen) only heard meh-gen. I'm from the south but have lived all over the u.s., in Pacific Northwest, upper Midwest, and mid-Atlantic. Still never met a mee-gen or may-gen.

I pronounce it however the person tells me to do so.

Maegan (MAY-gen)

Meagan (ME-gun)

Megan, Meghan (MEH-gun)

Megan: Mee-gin
Meghan: Meg-in
Meagan: May-gin

My husband says MAY-gun and I sat MEG-un.

* autocorrect is having a hell of a time with this.

I grew up with a Megan pronounced Meegan.

When I see the name I pronounce the E like in "elephant." My friend says her daughter's name Mayhen.

May gen

Do you pronounce Megan as MAY gen or MEG en?

Also, do the pronunciations come from different parts of the U.S.? I pronounce one way, a friend the other way.
