Megan vs. Meghan

I have always loved the name Megan, pronounced as "Meh-guhn". My only issue is potentially appropriating Welsh culture. See, I am from the USA with no Welsh ties whatsoever. I realize that the name has been commonly used in the USA for years, but it originated from Wales. Do you think that it's a bad idea to name my daughter this name? I don't want to appropriate cultures at all! Please, definitely answer if you're Welsh, because I definitely want your input. Do you think that Meghan is a good alternative if Megan is appropriation?

Help! I love the name Guinevere, but I can't think of a really good brother and sister name for her. Since Guinevere is so empowering, I want the next names to be powerful as well. Thanks, Genie!
Baby Name Genie:
You seek the Holy Grail of names. Let me help you in your quest. The brother of fair Guinevere will fight on foot with swords aplenty, but on his horse he'll surely lance a lot. Name him Edward for a regal name. A sister could be dubbed Katherine if greatness is what you desire.
