This is kind of fun :)

Okay, so if these are boring and y'all want me to stop, feel free to let me know. Personally, I like seeing what people prefer when it comes to the spelling of common names. It's quite informative. Oh, and if you're wondering, so far people prefer Ashley, Michaela, and Caitlin, with Ashlee, Makayla, and Kaitlyn/Other following.

Anyway, this pole is about my name, Megan. My parents were going to name me Meaghan, but they decided to give me the simpler spelling, just so I could learn it without difficulty. Unfortunately, everyone spells it Meghan. I've only met one Meghan and about 10 Megans, and each of the Megans also had their name misspelled to Meghan. So I'm wondering, is Meghan the preferred spelling? And if so, why is the spelling Megan so high up in popularity?

Onto the poll!

that's the way I pronounce Megan. I lived in Louisiana till I was 5, and still have southern bits in my accent... I wonder if that's why I do it?

Hmm, I'm from the south and no one ever pronounced it May-gan unless the child told them it was supposed to be that way.

ok, then I am just weird :) I thought that might be it, but wanted to be cooler than weird!
