I am from the US but live in Cardiff. Names and their uses are different in different parts of the world I suppose. I always said I would name my child Morgan whether a boy or girl. In US, this would be unique but totally fine. My husband (Welsh) tells me that there is no way you can name a girl Morgan in the UK. Thoughts please?

i know 2 Morgans (as girls) and 1 of the lives in Mountain Ash! It's pretty as a girls name (i am in s wales too)

I've known male and female Morgans, though Morgan certainly seems more male here in the UK (I'm also an American ex-pat). Personally I would use Morrigan for a girl instead.

Morrigan is a fantastic name!

I'd expect a Morgan to be a boy or a horse.

But it sort of works on a girl still because of Morgan le Fey.

I know 3 Morgans.

1 is 14 yo
2 are 11 yo

All 3 are girls. All 3 are lovely girls - none of them are chavvy or downmarket in any way.

Lovely name.

I know a Spanish Morgane - with the emphasis on the second syllable. I think it is very cool, but that may be because of the person!

I like it.

Sorry don't like it at all.

sounds very american, but lovely!

eastendmummy · 31/01/2011 17:43

How about Mawgan - that's my name and I'm a girl!! Love it now and get huge number of compliments but do always have to spell it. Have NEVER met another in 30 years.

MoaningMedalllist · 31/01/2011 17:46

I like this name for both

nickelthenaughtybutnicefairy · 31/01/2011 17:46

I like Morgan for a girl - in German, Morgen (said the same way) means Morning, so I think it's a lovely name to use for a girl.
sounds bright and cheery.
