I know 2 male Morgans (age 16 and 7) and one female (age 14). I like it for either.

i think its one of those safer names which people tend to neither really like or really dislike - as its more of a surname you'd have to consider how your own surname will sound with it

This was on our shortlist until we were told that the kids around here get the shortened version of 'Morg' as in morgue. Put us off completely.

Also, it's quite common around here.

I only know girls called Morgan.
It's not bad, car names are often cool :)

I like it, but then again, I have a Morgan, so I'm biased. Smile

I really like Morgan for a boy (pron. More-guhn not More-gahn if that makes any senseConfused).

Just don't go for a unisex middle name like someone I know - they have a son called Morgan Lesley so it's impossible to tell the gender from the name.

I've got a boy Morgan and he gets called Morgy all the time which is fine by me. Agree about picking a 'boys' name for the middle.

Seems to me that Morgan is more popular in the US for girls. I was a bit worried when he was about 2 as seemed to only meet 'girl Morgans'. Since then its all been boys so I'm very glad I choose it. My son has no problem with having a unisex name.

Hmmmm. Are you Welsh? I sort of think it's only acceptable if you're Welsh.

Not unless you are planning a welshman or a sportscar!
