[name_m]Hi[/name_m] all-
One of the names we’ve been talking about lately is [name_f]Megan[/name_f]. It was the DH’s idea, but it’s a name I thought was really cool as a kid (the 80s and 90s) so the idea is growing on me. Hypothetically- what would you name siblings? I want to make sure [name_f]Megan[/name_f] doesn’t seem too dated. Thanks!! 
Note: I posted this in the “sibling names” section earlier, but didn’t have any luck getting a response.
[name_f]Megan[/name_f] feels a little dated to me, but I did recently meet a little [name_f]Megan[/name_f] so who knows…
[name_f]Erin[/name_f]
[name_u]Harper[/name_u]
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]
[name_f]Bridget[/name_f]
[name_f]Robyn[/name_f]
[name_u]Noah[/name_u]
[name_m]Jasper[/name_m]
[name_m]Harry[/name_m]
[name_m]Alexander[/name_m]
[name_u]Brennan[/name_u]
[name_f]Megan[/name_f] feels a little dated but not too I think. But my perspective has changed over the years too, I’m betting [name_f]Megan[/name_f] will be pretty fresh sounding to your daughter and her peers.
With [name_f]Megan[/name_f] I’d choose:
[name_f]Alana[/name_f]
[name_u]Brooke[/name_u]
[name_f]Melanie[/name_f]
[name_f]Natalie[/name_f]
[name_f]Samantha[/name_f]
[name_f]Amy[/name_f]
[name_f]Audrey[/name_f]
[name_f]Brenna[/name_f]
[name_f]Naomi[/name_f]
[name_f]Hailey[/name_f]
[name_f]Rachel[/name_f]
[name_f]Sienna[/name_f]
[name_u]Simone[/name_u]
[name_f]Willow[/name_f]
[name_f]Claire[/name_f]
[name_f]Julia[/name_f]
[name_f]Laura[/name_f]
[name_f]Lucy[/name_f]
[name_f]Emily[/name_f]
[name_f]Sarah[/name_f]
[name_m]Andrew[/name_m]
[name_m]Bennett[/name_m]
[name_m]Calvin[/name_m]
[name_m]Nathan[/name_m]
[name_m]Nicholas[/name_m]
[name_m]Patrick[/name_m]
[name_m]Daniel[/name_m]
[name_m]David[/name_m]
[name_u]Elliott[/name_u]
[name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_m]Simon[/name_m]
[name_m]Aaron[/name_m]
[name_m]Brendan[/name_m]
[name_m]Damon[/name_m]
[name_m]Eric[/name_m]
[name_u]Owen[/name_u]
[name_u]Riley[/name_u]
[name_m]Ethan[/name_m]
[name_m]Justin[/name_m]
[name_u]Ryan[/name_u]
Thanks for your thoughts. [name_f]Claire[/name_f], [name_u]Owen[/name_u], [name_m]Jasper[/name_m], and [name_u]Harper[/name_u] are all names I like. And I think could work well. I’m still not entirely on board with [name_f]Megan[/name_f], but it’s something to keep on the list.
I don’t think [name_f]Megan[/name_f] is too dated at all, it’s a lovely name that is out of popularity enough that you don’t hear it everywhere you go.
[name_f]My[/name_f] best friend is called [name_f]Megan[/name_f], and her sister is [name_f]Grace[/name_f]. I’ve always thought [name_f]Megan[/name_f] & [name_f]Grace[/name_f] go really nicely together.
Other suggestions - [name_f]Emily[/name_f], [name_f]Caitlin[/name_f], [name_f]Keira[/name_f], [name_u]Ryan[/name_u], [name_m]Joshua[/name_m], [name_m]Andrew[/name_m]
[name_m]David[/name_m] and [name_f]Isla[/name_f]
I love [name_f]Megan[/name_f], but definitely prefer the pronunciation MEH-gan (rather than MEE-gan). Which way do you plan on saying it?
The Megans I know have siblings called:
[name_m]Matthew[/name_m]
[name_m]Daniel[/name_m]
[name_m]David[/name_m]
[name_m]Mark[/name_m]
[name_f]Emily[/name_f]
[name_f]Jessica[/name_f]
[name_f]Kate[/name_f]
[name_f]Rebecca[/name_f]
[name_f]Stephanie[/name_f]
We pronounce it “meh” way. Although, the way we say it, it’s more like [name_f]MEG[/name_f]-IN. We are hard on that first syllable. I like the idea of kate, but that is my [name_m]SIL[/name_m], so I’d prefer not to.
Also [name_f]Grace[/name_f] was suggested, which is very pretty, and is in the running for a middle spot.
Hmm I actually don’t mind [name_f]Megan[/name_f]. If you think it’s dated, have you considered [name_f]Maren[/name_f]?
[name_f]Amy[/name_f]
[name_u]Blair[/name_u]
[name_f]Brenna[/name_f]
[name_f]Bridget[/name_f]
[name_f]Emily[/name_f]/[name_f]Emma[/name_f]
[name_f]Erin[/name_f]
[name_f]Gemma[/name_f]
[name_f]Heather[/name_f]
[name_f]Laurel[/name_f]
[name_f]Samantha[/name_f]
[name_f]Sarah[/name_f]
[name_m]Andrew[/name_m]
[name_m]Christopher[/name_m]
[name_m]Daniel[/name_m]
[name_m]Jack[/name_m]
[name_m]Jacob[/name_m]
[name_m]Nathan[/name_m]
[name_m]Patrick[/name_m]
[name_m]William[/name_m]
I’m not a big fan of [name_f]Maren[/name_f]. But we are considering [name_u]Morgan[/name_u]- which is extremely similar to [name_f]Megan[/name_f].
