Opinion on Morag?

[MissMoodyMoo]

It's just popped into my head! We've actually settled on Fiadh but just so pass the time whilst on a nightshfit I'd like to know people's opinions 😊

I love the name Morag, maybe it's because I'm Scottish.

Don't like morag, Maura is nicer

Middle aged name for me (Scottish equivalent of Brenda or Maureen). I really don't like Mo or Aggie as nicknames either. Fiadh is much nicer.

Oh, I like Morag! Surprised at some of the comments, but that's names for you, you love them or you really don't.

I quite like Morag.

Scottish and not a big Morag fan. I love Lorna though :)

Definitely fiadh!
Morag makes me think of a cleaning product!

Morag is great! Yes it’s a bit clunky but that’s all part of the charm. Agree it’s a lot more substantial than the popular girls’ names of the moment.

I like Morag.

Scottish here, never ever heard Aggie as a diminutive for Morag! I like it, but maybe it doesn’t sound so good with an English accent?

I actually love it but I knew a beautiful, talented Morag at school and I always wanted to be her

Don’t Like the ‘rag’ bit.

Never heard of Aggie as a nn for Morag, either. It doesn't sound good with a non-Scottish accent because of the way the 'ag' is said.

Fiadh is a pretty name.
I only know one person called Morag. She has to be the most bitter venomous lady I have ever met. Of course, if I knew a nice Morag, I’m sure I would have different view of the name!
What is it they say? You don’t realise how many people you dislike until it comes to choosing names for your children!

Really don't like the name. And I rarely say that. Very harsh. With 'rag' at all the end. Not nice.

I like Morag though i do get the Katie Morag theme tune in my head. It as the name of my French teacher at school

Love Fiadh but also do really like Morag. I know a fabulous adult one which probably colours my perception but think it’s a good strong name.

Does sound better in a Scottish/Irish accent though!

Mhorag is a name I just can't take to at all. I have lived in Scotland for the past 20 years and know quite a few, but I just don't like it. If I HAD to go for it I would definitely spell it Mhorag - it looks a little softer almost I think, but it's not a name I would ever choose. Morven is another one that I really dislike and I don't even know why.

Fiadh on the other hand is lovely - don't waver - it's gorgeous

In the borders it's pronounced more like Maurig so the "rag" sound isn't really there.

Hideous. Sorry. You did ask

Not a fan of Fiadh - it sounds like Thea said with a F (as some people pronounce Thea Fea)

I love Morag though and know a little one nn Aggie. Really cute.

I don't like Morag. but that's probably because it reminds me of Katie Morag the wee twat.

Rylan if you spell it Mhorag you would pronounce it Vorag not Morag (don't be fooled by Mhairi Black).

I have a Morag (40-something, not a kid) in the family and there's a definite difference in how my parents' generation pronounce it (Mo-rig) to how I and my siblings would (Mo-rag). Suspect the first is more traditional but I don't think it sounds nice.

I think of a chain smoking 60 yr old woman
