Morgan or Leah?

[hcarter8]

Me and dh have got it down to two choices, I like Leah because it's very classic/timeless, and also has a strong history because it's biblical.

My dh loves Morgan but I'm not keen of it on a girl, it feels very 00s to me. I also think of more of a faddy American style name that was popular for a few years in the uk 20 years ago. (I'm aware it's a Welsh surname but it was very popaulr in US for girls according to statistics)
We will have to have a look at other names if we can't come to a compromise but I would appreciate people's thoughts on what name they prefer?

Morgan sounds quite dated to me.
I love the name Leah (my DD is Lia) and I still love her name as much 25 years later

Morgan fora girl seems very american. It's a boy's name. She'll be Morg.
Leah is OK but a bit dab and blends into all the Lily, Lyla, Layla type names.

drab not dab. It's a classic biblical name though and not overused.

I know girls with both names. Like them both. Morgan is known as Morgie, lol.

I much prefer Leah out of the two. I just hear 'morgue' with Morgan, not a good association!

However, if neither of you like each other's choice it's a bit pointless us telling you which one we prefer as neither are the right name for you as a couple. Back to the drawing board I'm afraid.

Leah is a super name.

Morgan just reminds me of the make of car.

Love Leah.

yeah Morgan sounds American and nowhere near as nice as Leah.

100 per cent Leah

I really like Leah - as you say, it’s got a classic feel but isn’t overused. I love how short, simple and pretty it is, but it works for all ages.

I agree with you that Morgan sounds more of an American name to me, and I’ve only heard it as a boy’s name in Wales. However I don’t hate it -but it’s got a very different feel to Leah!

Another in agreement that Leah is a better choice.

Leah

I prefer Leah, but prefer the spelling Lia.

The Lia spelling isn't classic.

Yep. I’d look again

Leah by a mile.

Leah 100%

Leah, by a mile. Infact a 100 miles.

Leah

Morgan or Morgane as spelled in France?
