Morven or Morag

[CaramelMilkshake]

Which of these two do you like best?

I prefer Morven. I don't like the 'rag' part of Morag.

Morag is actually my MIL's name. She hates it and told everyone at school her name was Moira. She goes by Mo now.

Good grief, Morag is the ugliest name in the world, I've never met one! Agree that Morven is much softer. I can't think of a single good word with an "ag" ending - gag, hag, slag, rag...

I used to know a Morvah too. It's the name of a village in Devonshire I think.

If between those two only, then Morven. No doubt. Am in Scotland too. Any other choices?

P.S. I agree with pp, it is the 'rag' part of Morag that I think is the reason I have never liked it! There are many other lovelier names out there...surely?! Just my opinion!!!

Oh yes! I didn't add I was Scottish when I gave Moven as my choice.

I know a Morag the toe-rag!
Just one though

Otherwise it makes me thing of an elderly lady

Morven it's the better of the two.

Morag is just woeful, I also think of the Morag from Home and Away, a very cold character!

Morven

I'm Scottish and had no idea there was a Highland and Lowland way of pronouncing Morag. I have a family member called Morag the Toerag - and she most certainly is!

I'd choose Morven over Morag. Don't meet many Morvens these days. I had one in my class at school, she was lovely.

Morag. Good strong name, they spend more time as an adult than as a cute toddler! In our house she'd probably get 'Mory' as an affectionate short

Oooh hard, both are strong and mysterious sounding, I love them. Never heard of Morven before, and Morag reminds me of Katie Morag.

I think I would go for Morven out of the two as it is slightly more feminine sounding.

Morven is much better. It's a lovely mountain.

Morag is fabulous! You should definitely use it as I don't think I'd be brave enough. It'll definitely be a divisive choice, more so than Morven I'd have thought.

She goes by Mo now

Same with the 20-something Morag I know who hates her name. I think Morag is harsh sounding and dislike it immensely, so Morven would get my vote.

I like how both of them sound. Morven makes me think of medieval queens/fairy type stuff. Morag is resolutely Scottish imo. So pick the one which suits best.

Morven if I had to choose. Morag is to harsh sounding. I loved the name Morag in home and away, it suited the character brilliantly but I would not choose it to name my child.

Morag is a cat name.

Morven!

Here's a picture of Morven - it's the big one.

I knew a Morven at uni and it really suited her, it's lovely. Morag is awful!
