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!

Susannah's a lovely name. Just don't let people shorten it to Sue.

Morag Susannah is stunning ad oooooozes class!

Morag Susannah is stunning ad oooooozes class!

I bloody love it. Excellent strong, quirky but classic name. It's so anti-fashion, but not in a ridiculous that is not a name way. It's the new Esme.

Love it

Morgag the toerag

How to you pronounce it? If it's the way it's written I'm not too keen on it. If it's more like Moira then not too keen on that either. I think there are prettier names around.

Great scottisg name

I don't like it at all, I remember a friend having it as her middle name and she always tried to keep it a secret!

MOrag 'barmy-tombstone' is a GREAT name

from the middle names Susannah prob best but have a sneaking liking for Juniper too

I find Morag a heavy, sturdy, old-fashioned name. Will probably become very fashionable again soon, though.

Morag Eileen best combination.

Susannah is nice-why not have Susannah Morag?

I like it. It's different without being "deliberately weird" if you see what I mean. I'm not sure it's a pretty name, but a nice one

Morag Susannah is a rocking good name. Morag is strong, interesting and overdue a revival IMO, and Susannah is just the best name ever anywhere

there was a girl in the year above me called morag, i always thought it was one of the ugliest names i ever heard and felt profoundly sorry for her. it sounds revolting with a glasgow accent. mow-raaaaaaaaaaaaaagg.

I don't think Morag isa pretty name at all. IMO it is too harsh and foe some reason reminds me of hoem and away....

I love it

Now what on earth was that book called? Read it as a child, involved an ill girl staying at her gran's, there was a doll and when she went to sleep holding the doll she would "relive" her great, great aunt's past or something as they travelled across the prarie. She died I think, saving her little sister, who got the doll which was then handed down through the generations......

That is going to bug me!

I think it's rather sweet for a little girl, conjures up a less appealing woman for me though for some reason.

yay found it!

Anyway the girl in it is called Meg/Morag. That is what I thought of not Home and Away

My dd is Sarah which is the English translation of Morag. Although the Gaelic translation means great.

my dh also scottish i like it and it would prob be shortened to aggs or mo what is your dd called has she got a scottish name. My son has a very very scottish name that was met with a lot of when we told people but we love it

Sorry think it is awful...

It's not terrible. I think Morag Susannah is best as the Susannah softens the hard g at the end of Morag and your other options sound a bit old ladyish

I like Morag, but I do know someone who called their cat Morag. It was a nice cat though. Juniper just reminds me of Life of Brian.

we have a neighbour called Morag.

she's auld.
