I know it's been more popular for girls for a while now but what do you think?

I love it, personally. Would have been v keen to use it for DD but DH wasn't a fan

DramaAlpaca · 27/12/2023 01:53

It's a big yes from me.

I used to teach a girl called Morgan. Her sister was called Mercedes. I'm not joking - dad was a car nut and wanted all his kids named after makes of car. Lovely girls though!

Nice

I like Morgen better

Muthaofcats · 27/12/2023 02:21

It’s a bit chavvy? And also makes me think of organs.

I know a girl called Morgan who is sister to Jayden, so yes, you have a point, both chavtastic names

samestyle · 27/12/2023 02:25

It's a bit masculine sounding or surname like.

PiggieWig · 27/12/2023 02:27

I’m not a fan

Ladyj84 · 27/12/2023 02:48

The 3 Morgan's I know are boys

My DD (in her 30’s) best friend is called Morgan. She’s lovely. Go for it. I prefer Morgan for a girl than a boy.

MerryChristmasToYou · 27/12/2023 10:05

Awful. It's a boy's name.

EmiliaRuusuvuori · 27/12/2023 10:07

I really like it for a girl.

MerryChristmasToYou · 27/12/2023 10:11

Morgane and Morgana are much nicer. Morgan is too surnamey and masculine-sounding.

Morven or Morwenna are alternatives and are both pretty.

closingdownsale · 27/12/2023 10:22

Morgan is originally a girls name isn't it? As in Morgan, the magical sister of King Arthur

@closingdownsale ,wasn't she really Morgana?

RenoDakota · 27/12/2023 10:41

It is lovely.

She is now known as lots of similar names (I googled, because I thought that, as well) but I prefer Morgana to Morgan. It sounds witchier. 🧹

JofraArchersFastestBall · 27/12/2023 11:03

It's not a name I used to like, but the only Morgan I know is so lovely that it's got positive associations for me now.

I knew sisters whose dad is a lorry driver. Their middle names were Scania and Volvo!

Ah MN just can’t help themselves
its a name
why do MN think they can be so derogatory?

lemonyellows · 27/12/2023 12:05

I prefer it for a girl. My son has a friend called Morgan (girl). The only one I know

Needmorelego · 27/12/2023 12:06

I know 2 female Morgan's (age 15 ish). I don't know any boy ones so I would probably think of it as a girls name.
Not a name I would personally choose but when I hear it I wouldn't think anything particular about it (like whether it's "chav" - urrgh hate that phase).
(I also know about 4 or 5 Jayden's. None of them are "chav" 🙄)

peaceinourtime · 27/12/2023 15:36

I know Morgan is a Welsh male name but I have known more female Morgan's then males.
