I'm only 9wks pg so no idea what we're having. Any opinions on Morgan?

We've picked a boys name but absolutely no idea for girls.

Any other girls suggestions? Ds is Lewis.

Colleague at work has a Morgan.. but he's a boy.

Fennel · 14/12/2008 21:04

I like it, like Morgan le Fey.

I know a boy and a girl Morgan.

JodieO · 14/12/2008 21:04

My second son is called Morgan.

deckthegirlandboywithholly · 14/12/2008 21:05

Have a little cousin who's called Morgan.

He's a boy!

Ronaldinhio · 14/12/2008 21:05

morgan for a horse or a car, sorry

JodieO · 14/12/2008 21:05

My brain isn't working, my first son, second child.

ragd0ll · 14/12/2008 21:06

my dd has Morgan as a middle name,it was my mums maiden name so I think its lovely!

TheOtherMaryPoppinsJingles · 14/12/2008 21:07

I like

NotanOtter · 14/12/2008 21:10

Oddly i like it

very welsh and lovely

dont normally like the last/first name thing but i do like this

LynetteScavo · 14/12/2008 21:14

I like it.

I once had a boyfirend who isisted when we had a DD together she would be called Morgan.

deckthegirlandboywithholly · 14/12/2008 21:14

There are always its alternatives, see here

DoubleBluff · 14/12/2008 21:18

boys name imo

NorbertDentressAngel · 14/12/2008 21:19

There are quite a few Morgans around here (but that may be as theres a local connection to the name?) -boys and girls.

Personally its not one I would choose.

Nancy66 · 14/12/2008 22:17

don't particularly like it for either sex but especially not for a girl - sounds a bit porn star to me.

Fennel · 15/12/2008 12:33

Porn star? It has connotations of comfy Welsh Health Visitor type to me - tweedily dressed on a windy pier.

Or of evil sorceresses in ancient tales.

cece · 15/12/2008 12:36

Not for me I am afraid unless you are Welsh.

dearprudence · 15/12/2008 12:39

Personally I'd avoid any 'unisex' type names. It's just one more little thing that they can get teased about once they're at school.

Don't like Morgan for a girl anyway, sorry.

Claireykitten · 15/12/2008 12:48

I love it. Would like to use it for my current girl bump but DH doesnt like it so Im not allowed!

sorkycake · 15/12/2008 12:52

Boys name only for me.

Makes me think of a lapdancer, when used for a girl, unless you're Welsh or a druid.

Marne · 15/12/2008 12:58

I like it, great for a boy or girl.

RachieB · 15/12/2008 14:08

I am welsh and have a nephew Morgan
also know of a little girl Morgan but prefer it as a boys name TBH

feel it's a bit "hard" for a girl

kgirl · 15/12/2008 14:57

I love it but my 10 week old son is called Morgan so I should really shouldn't I!!!!!!! Also I think it's just as nice for a girl. My middle name is welsh because my father was but I don't live in wales and I don't think it really matters tbh.

mickeymistletoe · 15/12/2008 15:06

I know a girl named Morgan and a boy. i like it for both.

crokky · 15/12/2008 15:09

I know a boy named Morgan, so I tend to think of it as a boys name.

Thanks for all replies.

As i thought majority think it a boys name. Ah well plenty of time to decide if i like it enough or come up with something else or just have a boy
