I really [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] the name [name_u]Morgan[/name_u] for our 3rd child if it turns out to be a boy. My only trepidation in choosing it is the fear people might make fun of him for having a “girly” name. Like if people don’t know it was more traditionally a masculine name first. So is it truly unisex??
The other thing I worry a little about is that we have two other boys named [name_m]Leeland[/name_m] and [name_u]Everett[/name_u]. I feel like theirs are pretty clearly masculine names. I just don’t want people to not get it. But I [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] this name. It’s been my favorite since before I was even thinking of babies. Okay so having said that, OPINIONS PLEASE ”
I know three, two girls and a guy. I think nowadays it skews slightly female but I could still see it on a boy. If you both really love it, you should use it regardless of what people think. [name_m]Even[/name_m] if they don’t find it masculine, meeting your little man [name_u]Morgan[/name_u] could change that for them!
Why on earth would femininity be a bad quality in a name? You ask if it would be considered “truly unisex” but seem to fear the feminine aspect of a such name – if that’s the case, I don’t think you’re looking for a unisex name because femininity is sort of part of that package. Instead of abandoning your favourite name out of fear that he will get hurt on his male ego, I’d suggest teaching your boy that femininity is not a bad thing and that “girl” is not a slur. Otherwise that’s just an inherently misogynistic circle that never ends. Gender is a social construct anyhow
