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

American.

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

Buffypaws · 22/05/2024 18:46

I think Morgan le Fay

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.

Named after a make of car.

Diddleyeyeeye · 22/05/2024 18:47

Love it

Everleigh13 · 22/05/2024 18:51

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

JimNast · 22/05/2024 18:53

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

Haveanaiceday · 22/05/2024 18:54

I think of Morgan Le Fay too.

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

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

TheFluffiestCat · 22/05/2024 18:56

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

theteddybear · 22/05/2024 18:57

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.

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

CJ0374 · 22/05/2024 19:00

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

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.

Nicebloomers · 22/05/2024 19:05

Another one for Morgan le Fay.

RaininSummer · 22/05/2024 19:18

My first thought was Morgan le Fay. Cool name.

ElizabethanAgain · 22/05/2024 19:23

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

Sarah1834 · 22/05/2024 19:25

Iorn man- Tony starts daughter in the avengers

AGodawfulsmallaffair · 22/05/2024 19:27

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

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?

Clueless2024 · 22/05/2024 19:30

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

thea1145 · 22/05/2024 19:31

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

TheFormidableMrsC · 22/05/2024 19:37

I think of my cousin. Who is a boy.
