Gina is only four letters long, but NO ONE can spell it; let alone pronounce it. I don't get it.

I only knew 2 other Megans (and I disliked them both intensely because they dared to have my name) until I was an adult. Then two things happened - I started Irish Dancing and entered the world of Irish-Americans where Megans run rampant. 2. Megan became a popular baby name and suddenly I couldn't go anyplace where there would be kids under 10 without hearing my name shrieked by Moms. I still love my name, but I miss the days when it seemed unique. It's my name. All those other Megans are imposters. I grew up thinking my name “Megan” was unique.
