I would appreciate your thoughts?

Fine if you're time travelling back to the 90s to have your baby. Otherwise, no.

Out of the 2-Morgan

StripedPiggy · 14/06/2024 18:00

Honestly, neither.

Both sound rather ‘the opposite of posh’.

Haha fair enough, me and dh like them. I knew there would be some people who would think they were dated, which I agree they kind of are but they are solid names that won't cause any spelling issues imo.

I'm not crazy about them to be honest. I like Morven, a Welsh name, which is a bit similar but more ethereal and romantic sounding. The name closest to Demi I like is Leni.

If you have to then Morgan. Demi is awful.

For a girl or a boy?

Sunpiercer · 14/06/2024 18:14

I don’t like either - sorry

SkaneTos · 14/06/2024 18:17

The name Demi makes me think of John "Demi-John" Brooke, Meg's son, in "Little Women" (Louisa May Alcott).

Firsttimebabymummy · 14/06/2024 18:26

I like Demi but I have a friend called Demi and she is really lovely.

This. Both dreadful.

Demi-Morgan

Morgan reminds me of that old fashion label Morgan de toi.

MaryMaryVeryContrary · 14/06/2024 19:19

I love Demi but really dislike Morgan

Everleigh13 · 14/06/2024 19:21

I like Morgan. I think it’s a nice name. It’s the type of name that doesn’t get much love on MN though.

Jegersur · 14/06/2024 19:24

I like Morgan

Pocketfullofdogtreats · 14/06/2024 19:27

Not Demi I know it's supposed to be pronounced with the emphasis on the -mi but over here (as opposed to in the US) it's more likely to sound like half of something.

KirstenBlest · 14/06/2024 19:33

@BobbyBiscuits , Morven is Scottish not Welsh.

Morwen is Welsh. Morwenna is Cornish.

DramaAlpaca · 14/06/2024 19:33

I don't dislike Morgan for a girl.

I strongly dislike Demi.

PurpleChrayn · 14/06/2024 19:34

Chav names.

Liv999 · 14/06/2024 19:34

I love 90s names! Makes such a refreshing change from all the samey boring names you hear these days, I prefer Morgan of the two but nothing wrong with Demi either

tootsierubs · 14/06/2024 19:34

Neither

Needmorelego · 14/06/2024 19:35

Not ones I would choose but not ones I would bat an eyelid at either.
Of the two I prefer Morgan.

BobbyBiscuits · 14/06/2024 19:37

@KirstenBlest ah, ok. I still really like it. My family is more Scottish than Welsh so I probably should have known!

Amx · 14/06/2024 19:38

Demi detached house
Morgan the organ

I'd go back to the drawing board
