Both are gorgeous, but I slightly prefer Morven.

Ladybirdturd · 17/11/2016 19:44

Morven is gorgeous

HoratioNightboy · 17/11/2016 19:45

I love Morag pronounced the Lowland way, but not so keen on the Highland way. If you're going for the Highland way then I'd prefer Morven.

All the people I've known of either name have been lovely though.

caffelatte100 · 17/11/2016 19:45

Not keen on either of these.

ScarletSienna · 17/11/2016 19:48

Morven. The more I say it, the more I like it. I'm more familiar with Morag but like it less as it sounds harsh and dreary.

DubiousCredentials · 17/11/2016 19:49

Is it More-ag or Moh-rag?

Meadows76 · 17/11/2016 19:49

Morag is a really harsh sounding name.

milkshakeandmonstermunch · 17/11/2016 19:49

Morven.

Knew a nice Morven at school. Also knew a nice Morag but it still makes me think of 1) cow from Fully Booked 2) the witch from Ewoks (80s cartoon version)

Morven

awaynboilyurheid · 17/11/2016 19:50

I'm Scottish and dont like either.

Sweets101 · 17/11/2016 19:51

I think Morag is quite possibly one of the ugliest names out there

LucyInTheSkyWithDonuts · 17/11/2016 19:51

Morven is lovely. Morag isnt.

drinkyourmilk · 17/11/2016 19:52

I met the loveliest lady at university called Morven, so I'd go for that.

Sophronia · 17/11/2016 19:58

Morven, but I prefer the similar Morwen and Morwenna

user1470686892 · 17/11/2016 20:00

Morag is about as attractive sounding as Edna to my ears . I would hate to be called it.

SausageSoda · 17/11/2016 20:15

Morven.

I prefer Mirren. Not what you asked though Grin

DramaAlpaca · 17/11/2016 20:16

Morven, by a long way.

buttercup54321 · 17/11/2016 20:16

Morven

BeastofCraggyIsland · 17/11/2016 20:17

Definitely Morven out of those two. Morag is horrible. I don't like girly names at all but it's off the other end of the scale, really harsh and sounds like hag/toe-rag etc. Just not a nice sound.

Joinourclub · 17/11/2016 20:38

Morven by a mile

Morven

It's the name of a mountain. I used to live near it Smile

Foxsox · 17/11/2016 20:53

Neither
But if I HAD to choose then
Morven
Morag isn't a nice name at all

user1471950254 · 17/11/2016 20:55

Morven

R00tat00tt00t · 17/11/2016 21:00

I love Morven, very pretty yet strong sounding and not that common either. It was on our shortlist along with Esme and Nina. Morag I'm afraid makes me think of dowdy middle aged women and reminds me of a character in Take the Highroad?
