Ailsa or Morven

[thetrinityisshite]

What do you like best, Ailsa or Morven. We are in Scotland. Both siblings have Scottish/Irish names.

Ailsa 😍

Morven. Beautiful.

there is/was a pub in glasgow called the morven - my mum liked the name but my dad refused it in case folk thought i was named after the pub

I have a lovely 23 year old Dd called Ailsa. It's such a lovely name that is often commented on.(we live in Norfolk although I'm Scottish)
I know I'm biased

Ailsa

Alisa. Lovely, proper name.

Morven. Ailsa always makes me think of Home and Away.

Both lovely but I prefer Ailsa.

Morven.

Morven

Morven by a mile.

Ailsa is a granny name. Not the chic kind.

Ailsa

Morven.

Morven - gorgeous name. Always makes me think of this amazing song Maiden of Morven

Ailsa

Morven - I do like both names though.

I think Morven is my favourite too but my surname starts with a M too. I'm probably over thinking it!

Morven. Ailsa always makes me think of Home and Away.

I was going to say I prefer Ailsa becuase it reminds me of Home and Away!

Ailsa's diner was Summer Bay's premier hangout back in 1992

The M alliteration is fine I think.

Morven, Ailsa could get shortened to Ale, as in Beer later in life!

Morven. And the alliteration will make it even better!

Both nice but Morven is fabulous. If I was Scottish I would use Morven.

Morven is gorgeous. And unless your surname also has many of the same sounds as Morven (so for instance Morven Mortensen) then generally alliteration is very cool - ala Marilyn Monroe.

Ailsa is pretty but blends in more with the vowel heavy names currently popular - plus could get confused with Elsa outside Scotland.

If you're likely to have any connection to France, I'd avoid Morven - morve is French for snot! Obviously not an issue if she's unlikely to visit...
