Does it give any specific impressions? I would appreciate your opinions.

Morgan Fairchild (played Chandler's mother in Friends).

So I think glamorous midde-aged American with a teased out blow-dry.

Bit 90s. I much prefer Morven.

@NetZeroZealot , I've never heard of it, do you have the recipe?

NetZeroZealot · 22/05/2024 19:58
  1. Welsh tart
  2. Cheap girls' clothes (there used to be a chain)

I like it on a girl :)

Morgan makes me think of the 90s clothing brand, all tight black sparkly going out dresses. Bit of a chavvy name either boy or girl.

Same 😆 oh I was skinny back then!!

Iron Man’s daughter.

I know two girls - both early/mid twenties. One is known as Morgie. I like it as a girls name.

hattylou · 22/05/2024 19:50

surname or boys name.
Really rather tacky on girls.

DemBonesDemBones · 22/05/2024 19:47

Lower class. Sorry. Blush

caringcarer · 22/05/2024 19:45

I used Morgana then she could use either Morgana or Morgan if she preferred.

Stopmotion24 · 22/05/2024 19:40

I think it’s fine, I have only ever known one girl and one boy called Morgan in real life, on both ocasion I thought it was an unusual name but didn’t make more of it

Absurdgiraffe · 22/05/2024 19:39

Just reminds me of the female Morgan I know.

I have never met a male one.

NetMum2 · 22/05/2024 19:38

It’s not to my taste. And neither are the nicknames I searched for on google…

Morgie?!

TheFormidableMrsC · 22/05/2024 19:37

I think of my cousin. Who is a boy.

thea1145 · 22/05/2024 19:31

I like it! It sounds like a cool girl's name 😎

Clueless2024 · 22/05/2024 19:30

It's not my taste at all, but atleast it's better than hearing Morgan on a boy!

Summertimer · 22/05/2024 19:29

I think it works better as a girls name than some of those surname type names that are traditionally a girl but sound like a boy - Taylor and Harper for example.

Other oddities - Channing Tatum. How is Channing not a girls name?

AGodawfulsmallaffair · 22/05/2024 19:27

My dn is Morgan and it’s lovely. I don’t think of it as s boys name.

Sarah1834 · 22/05/2024 19:25

Iorn man- Tony starts daughter in the avengers

ElizabethanAgain · 22/05/2024 19:23

Another one for Morgan le Fay - the enchantress who ruled Avalon in the Arthurian legends.

RaininSummer · 22/05/2024 19:18

My first thought was Morgan le Fay. Cool name.

Nicebloomers · 22/05/2024 19:05

Another one for Morgan le Fay.

happybluefern · 22/05/2024 18:33

i think of Morgan le fay from the King Arthur story and I like it for that reason.

Yep. Makes me think of magic and enchantment. And Helen Mirren. Love it.
