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

I initially think of Morgana Robinson, the female comedian.
Personally, I don't like a name that has 'Morgue' in it 😬

Morgan le Fay. And Morgan the third eldest daughter in "Guard Your Daughters" by Diana Tutton.

I used to love that name for a girl when I was a teen. I still think it's nice. I got it from Sabrina the Teenage which one of her room mates had that name.

I actually think of it as more of a girls name but I know others think it's more for a male.

I was at college with an American girl called Morgan so I think of her. I've never met another of either sex.

spamandeggs · 22/05/2024 18:55

It reminds me of Sabrina's friend in Sabrina The teenage witch(1990s') . Loved the name for a girl ever since :)

@happybluefern Morwen isn't - it has a different meaning.

I went away and looked it up and found this out! I think they’re all nice though.

Haveanaiceday · 22/05/2024 18:54

I think of Morgan Le Fay too.

I quite like it. It has a similar feel to Shannon.

Diddleyeyeeye · 22/05/2024 18:47

Love it

AdaColeman · 22/05/2024 18:46

Named after a make of car.

Swissrollover · 22/05/2024 18:46

In the UK, it is a boy's name for me. I've only known male Morgan's here, but when in US, it was considered a girl's name.

Buffypaws · 22/05/2024 18:46

I think Morgan le Fay

chocolatecoveredpeanut · 22/05/2024 18:45

I think of American first then a bit too much about the likelyhood of them wearing hoopy earrings if I am honest.

RogueFemale · 22/05/2024 18:45

American.

Twiglets1 · 22/05/2024 18:44

Yes I think "chav" sorry if that isn't what you want to hear but I'm being honest.

Wasn't she Morgana?

Show quote history

Or Morgane or Morgaine or various other Latinised or Frenchified versions of Morgen, the original Welsh or Breton name.

MinervaMcGonagallsCat · 22/05/2024 18:43

I know 2 Morgans and both are girls
So tbh I think of it as a girls name.

TheCultureHusks · 22/05/2024 18:42

Boys name, or possibly Americana - like Taylor.

However I know a Morgaine and that’s lovely.

GoBonobo · 22/05/2024 18:42

I know a couple of female Morgan’s (mid-late teen age) so not common, but not totally unheard of either, both are lovely, hardworking girls and I like the name (but I generally quite like unisex names) . One was shortened to ‘Morg’ by her BF which I don’t think she was thrilled about, so you might want to think about nickname options.

Bemusedandconfusedagain · 22/05/2024 18:40

90s clubbing gear and American horses

Depends on the version, there’s variations of Morgaine/Morgana/Morgan. . I’m assuming Morwen and Morven also come from the same root although could be wrong.

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

ArcticBells · 22/05/2024 18:35

The parents must be American. Same as Taylor for a girl. All very American
