Morris?

[Polarbearcub]

Yay or nay? Any thoughts?

It's nice - different without being unheard of or made up. Maurice reminds me of the E M Forster book and Morris of a character in a strange book called A Five Year Sentence that came free with a magazine years and years ago.

I don't like it at all and can't picture it on anyone younger than 80

I wonder if this name is going to become popular, I have heard of one baby being given that name and I know two others given it as a middle name. All born since January.

No

I thought Morris was a surname, Maurice for a first name?
At least he won't be one of seven Maurices in his class...
It's cute, and a real name.

I had a rabbit called Morris. I like it but not spelled Maurice.

Prefer Morris to Maurice as the latter seems a bit 'wet'. What about Moritz (pronounced Mow-ritz) - it's the German version and I think has a bit more va va voom.

Don't like it.

Morris as in Morris Minor?

Spelling is Maurice

I like it. Although first thought was morris dancing.

I have 2 relatives who have been called Morris. Both have gone by the nn Moy

I dislike Maurice/Morris but quite like Moss which is the nickname most of the Maurices I know go by.

I used to look after twins called Moss and Louie. They were gorgeous and I loved the name Moss too.

Although my sister used to call them Moss and Toss and think she was hilarious

Don't like it at all sorry. It's so beige or at a push, taupe.

Not keen I'm afraid.
Morris is the spelling for a surname not a first name, which is Maurice.

I have an Uncle Maurice, who his friends call Mo ! And he gets most offended if anyone dare to spell it as Morris!!

I like it. I think I prefer it spelled Maurice though.

Oo I like it!

I had a great uncle who was Morris Morris - same spelling on both names
