Morgan for a girl?

I'm only 9wks pg so no idea what we're having. Any opinions on Morgan?

We've picked a boys name but absolutely no idea for girls.

Any other girls suggestions? Ds is Lewis.

I've been watching Merlin on TV and I like Morgana.

I knew a girl called Morgan - I quite like it. Also Morgane.

Or, I knew someone who was Scottish and called their daughter Morven which is very pretty.

Morgan the girl in my DS's class and Morgan the boy in the year above. Nobody gets confused and nobody gets teased - kids just accept that it is their names.

I like it.

I know 4 Morgans - all girls.

Its ok I guess ...

Gorionine · 15/12/2008 23:16

I always thought It was Morgane for a girl?

RachieB · 15/12/2008 23:10

why would you say it's chavvy?

even for a welsh person / child ?!

MadamDeathstarOverBethlehem · 15/12/2008 22:10

Morgan is quite a popular girl's name in California. I know two Morgans who are both aged around 13. They are both extremely intelligent.

Lulubee · 15/12/2008 22:07

What about Imogen? Similar but slightly more feminine?

BabyBaby123 · 15/12/2008 20:37

Thanks for all replies.

As i thought majority think it a boys name. Ah well plenty of time to decide if i like it enough or come up with something else or just have a boy

I know a boy named Morgan, so I tend to think of it as a boys name.

mickeymistletoe · 15/12/2008 15:06

I know a girl named Morgan and a boy. i like it for both.

kgirl · 15/12/2008 14:57

I love it but my 10 week old son is called Morgan so I should really shouldn't I!!!!!!! Also I think it's just as nice for a girl. My middle name is welsh because my father was but I don't live in wales and I don't think it really matters tbh.

RachieB · 15/12/2008 14:08

I am welsh and have a nephew Morgan
also know of a little girl Morgan but prefer it as a boys name TBH

feel it's a bit "hard" for a girl

Marne · 15/12/2008 12:58

I like it, great for a boy or girl.

sorkycake · 15/12/2008 12:52

Boys name only for me.

Makes me think of a lapdancer, when used for a girl, unless you're Welsh or a druid.

Claireykitten · 15/12/2008 12:48

I love it. Would like to use it for my current girl bump but DH doesnt like it so Im not allowed!

dearprudence · 15/12/2008 12:39

Personally I'd avoid any 'unisex' type names. It's just one more little thing that they can get teased about once they're at school.

Don't like Morgan for a girl anyway, sorry.

cece · 15/12/2008 12:36

Not for me I am afraid unless you are Welsh.

Fennel · 15/12/2008 12:33

Porn star? It has connotations of comfy Welsh Health Visitor type to me - tweedily dressed on a windy pier.

Or of evil sorceresses in ancient tales.

Nancy66 · 14/12/2008 22:17

don't particularly like it for either sex but especially not for a girl - sounds a bit porn star to me.

NorbertDentressAngel · 14/12/2008 21:19

There are quite a few Morgans around here (but that may be as theres a local connection to the name?) -boys and girls.

Personally its not one I would choose.

DoubleBluff · 14/12/2008 21:18

boys name imo

deckthegirlandboywithholly · 14/12/2008 21:14

There are always its alternatives, see here

LynetteScavo · 14/12/2008 21:14

I like it.

I once had a boyfirend who isisted when we had a DD together she would be called Morgan.
