How would you spell it?

OK, we have picked out 4 names (we don't know the gender of our twins) Just not sure which way we'd spell the 1st girl name. What's your opinion?


Girl names: Megan/ Meagan/ Meghan/ Meaghan Charlotte
& Rebecca Ann

Boy names: Thomas Graham
& Cameron Stuart

If we have B/G we'll use the 1st from each
BTW we have a 2 year old daughter Alison Catherine

Thanks in advance

Either Meghan or Megan (assuming you're pronouncing it the traditional way). Too much risk of teachers mispronouncing it with a variant spelling. I grew up with a name very similar to another much more popular name. I spent my whole school life correcting mispronunciations of my name. It was very frustrating for me. I don't even bother any more, just answer to the wrong name.

And online I have a name that no one ever gets wrong. I love having a name everyone can spell and say the first time they see it.

HTH!

 

I would go with Megan (love the name BTW!). If you spell it Meagan, it's going to get pronounced "Mee-gan." (I'm assuming you were thinking "Meh-gan.")

But then, I named my kids Amy and Sarah -- common names, most common spelling of those names -- so that's obviously where I'm coming from. :ibiggrin: Megan was on my list too, but not in DH's top two.

There is NO name these days -- at least no girl's name -- that a child will never need to spell out loud. I thought we were safe with A&S, but we get "Is that A-M-Y or A-I-M-E-E?" and "Is that Sarah with an H or without?" But at least people can pronounce them.

 

I would also vote for Megan first and Meghan second. I would be inclinded to rhyme it with Teagan if it had ea in it.

Ditto!! Except I like Meghan better! :winking:

 

I like Megan best. Cute names all around!

 

Megan

 

I would go with Megan, but who am I to talk since my family uses Emilie instead of Emily. :lol:

 

I like it spelled either Megan or Meghan.

 

Megan, it's the easiest to spell!

 

Thanks for all of your input ladies,

I told DH that I had posted this question and he agreed with the comments that Meagan/ meaghan were NOs. We discussed the other two choices and I think we're going to go with Meghan

Thanks so much!
