Morag - what do you think?

[tummytickler]

I am thinking that i am coming 'round to the name Morag.
My 6 year old is reading the Katie Morag books at the moment and i have been thinking about this more and more.
dh is Scottish so it is nice for him, and i like the nn's Mo and Aggie.

Possible combinations:

Morag Susannah
Morag Juniper
Morag Eileen
Morag Primrose
Morag Ophelia

I am not expecting a wonderfully positive response! My dd loves it though!

I really like the name.

And I am sure that if I heard it more often I would be able to get Morag from HOme & Away out of my mind (and it's been yeeeeeeears since I watched H & A )

Morag is lovely I think.

I like susannah with it best

I think it's a grower. I used to live in Scotland though so knew several and hence may be more accustomed to it.

I love Agnes even more

It sounds like a cows name to me

sorry!

I love Agnes ,was my gran's name

I think it's very pretty, but you will need to be prepared for people's reactions as it's generally associated with women in their forties and fifties! But if it's your choice then go with it as you may start a trend!

oops how did that happen

Not keen myself.

doesnt feel like a pretty name and not sure I would want to be 14 or 15 and called Morag.

What sort of surname do you have?

I like it - I like Morag Susannah best too. I know a lot of nice Morags

I think as your dh is Scottish it would be fine to use this name personally I like Morag Susannah, the others are not to my taste, with Susannah she could use that name as an adult Juniper as an alternate name could prove more problematic...

Love it ! Have a great friend called Morag and DD1's favourite toy is named after her. I think it might be difficult to carry off without the scottish connection but you have that so go for it!

nice with a scottish accent

Hi - surname is double barelled and sounds like 'barmy-tombstone'.

DH and i like Agnes too. but we have liked it for ages and now it seems a little flat iykwim.

I have been thinking i like Susannah too - it would honour 2 lovely people in both mine and dh's family too - and dd has a friend called Susie (Susannah) so she would be chuffed to bits also!

Now i just have to actually get pregnant - damn it!

I like it but I like Susannah more.

Morag Susannah sounds the best combination to me. Lovely scottish name

I know several and they all get Mo

woldn't be to my taste but there is nothing wrong with it IYSWIM

It is my middle name and we are thinking of using it for the middle name if we have a daughter. It means "the great one."

I really like the name Morag. Having hated it when I first heard it (thinking H&A characher), it has grown on me immensely over the years. Goes beautifully with Susannah too I think. Also, Susannah is a fairly 'safe' name if your dd decides she prefers it iyswim.

It's not a name that travels well imo. If it's said with an accent other than Scottish it sounds quite hard to me. Sorry.

sounds like a witch's name. sorry.

I think Morag is a Witch name in a kiidys book isn't it, also a witch from Starwars, thats prob why you think that

I'm afraid it just makes me think of an old crone. Not a fan at all.

She'd get called Morag the toerag.

I like how they say it in the Highlands - Mor'g, but not how they say it in Glasgow - Mo-rag.

Morag is an old lady name imo. I don't like the hard g sound at the end.
