DH loves this, I quite like it, but my problem is it makes me think of the book "Morven Callar" The main character, Morven, is pretty strange. DH says if we use it for DD, I'll lose the association.

So what I want to ask is: Has anyone heard of the book, and if so, would you associate the name with it?

I've seen the film and know a couple of people called Morven (is it Scottish?). It doesn't make me think of the film - just the name which I don't love or hate .

Yes, heard of it, never read it though. To me it has sort of 'dark' connotations - maybe because it's a bit like Raven? It makes me think of Edgar Alen Poe and graveyards I'm afraid...

However, I realise this is probably just me...
