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

I too think of Home and Away with Ailsa- despite not seeing an episode in 20+ yrs! Out of the 2 names, its my preference.

I'm not familiar with Morven. On first hearing it, it sounds morbid, ugly, masculine and frankly awful when there are so many lovely names to choose from! Sorry if this is your favourite, its an honest feeling, especially when the the words morbid, mortuary, mort... even in other languages mean death!

Ailsa's a bit of a curse, even in Scotland, no-one can pronounce it or spell it, I've had Alisa, Alsa, Lisa, Elsie, Elsa, endless variations.

Morven is such a gorgeous name. There's something mysterious about it.

Morven - it's just lovely!

Morven.

Ailsa - much more sophisticated

Morven. Ailsa always makes me think of Home and Away.
Yup, same.
