Megan McDonald: Hello, my name is Megan McDonald. It's an Irish name, Megan is Irish for Margaret, and no, I'm not related to Ronald McDonald or Old McDonald who had a farm. My middle name is Jo, spelled J-O, and when I was growing up I loved reading Little Women. Well, I already had two of their names — Meg, Jo, Amy, and Beth. So I really wanted to change my name and somehow have Amy and Beth in my name so I could have all four names of Little Women.
