I’m in love with the name [name_u]Morgan[/name_u] for a future son. It was very easy for my and my fiancee to agree on this name. However I’ve been looking on this form just for fun and found that people that give their son’s names such as [name_f]Ashely[/name_f] and [name_u]Aubrey[/name_u] end up with people mistakening then for a girl like being called Ms instead of Mr kind of thing on their mail. [name_f]Do[/name_f] you think [name_u]Morgan[/name_u] would have this same problem? I don’t like the name [name_u]Morgan[/name_u] on a girl like I do for a boy but I do know it it given more to the girls then it is to the boys nowadays dispite it originating as a boys name. His full name would be [name_u]Morgan[/name_u] [name_m]Adam[/name_m] Leeber. So do you think that would be a problem? And what do you think of the name itself? [name_m]Don[/name_m]'t know if it matters but he would have a half brother names [name_m]Nicholas[/name_m] [name_m]Eli[/name_m].
Boys with names regarded by the society they live in as feminine will often be mistaken for a girl on the phone or in the mail however, I am not entirely sure if [name_u]Morgan[/name_u] is regarded as more of a girl’s name or a boy’s name where your son will live. In the US, [name_u]Morgan[/name_u] is much more popular for girls than boys. [name_u]Morgan[/name_u] to me is more of a surname than a given name. Personally, I dislike [name_u]Morgan[/name_u].
Sure, it might happen. Is this really a big deal? Probably not.
I second this (and I have personal experience with the “wrong salutation” issue). Females with names like [name_u]Dylan[/name_u] and [name_u]Ryan[/name_u] likely have the same (but opposite) problems too, so don’t worry!
Oddly, I work with two Morgans. One is female and the other is male and they are very close friends. LoL I have never considered that a boy named [name_u]Morgan[/name_u] would be assumed to be a girl when not seen face to face, but as others have said, it’s not a big deal if he does. There are plenty of other names that will be mistaken before a [name_u]Morgan[/name_u] would.
The name is okay for me, but I don’t think [name_u]Morgan[/name_u] [name_m]Adam[/name_m] flows very well. It’s a little hard to say and, no offense, it sounds like a type of beer to me.
I would have to agree as well- don’t fuss over it. No name is perfect when it comes to spelling and gender identity. Likely it will happen, but won’t be abundant. My name is [name_u]Dana[/name_u] and the number of people who don’t pronounce it right always amazes me, but I can’t say it ever bothered me- it just becomes a part of who you are. And personally I like [name_u]Morgan[/name_u] as a male name and think it is a great choice- especially if you already love it 
No, it’s not a horrible idea. I love the name [name_u]Morgan[/name_u] way more for a boy than I do for a girl. And although it’s more popular for girls than boys and your son’s name may occasionally get mistaken for a girl’s name, I do not think that’s reason not to pick it. And [name_u]Morgan[/name_u] is still popular enough for boys that it’s most definitely viewed as a unisex name–not at all in the same camp as [name_u]Ashley[/name_u] which is now, sadly, definitively a girl’s name! I’ve met two Morgans in my life, one was a boy and one was girl.
[name_u]Morgan[/name_u] is such a handsome name for a little boy I wouldn’t worry about it too much as it probably won’t happen too frequently. And as another poster mentioned I’m sure girls named [name_u]Ryan[/name_u] and [name_u]Hunter[/name_u] and what have you get mistaken for boys much more often.
Yeah, the first reaction is to refer to [name_u]Morgan[/name_u] as a Miss.
My mom is named [name_u]Lynn[/name_u], and she gets mail addressed to Mr. [name_u]Lynn[/name_u] _______ randomly. Sure, [name_u]Morgan[/name_u] might be mistaken for a girl sometimes, but that’s really not a big deal. I think of [name_u]Morgan[/name_u] as one of the rare “true unisex” names - I know of as many boy Morgans as girl Morgans.
Thank you everyone. I don’t think it would bother me so much I just worry if he would hate me for not giving him that definite masculine name that had no way of being mistaken as a girl. To me [name_u]Morgan[/name_u] [name_m]Adam[/name_m] Leeber flows nicely together and I managed to avoid it being very L heavy like I’m unable to for girls. The only drawback I had about the name is that some people might shorten it to Morg and my fiancee is obviously one of those people. However after listening to him actually call a baby that we are still ttc Morg it is almost cute to me now. Thank you again everyone for putting my mind at ease.
I totally prefer [name_u]Morgan[/name_u] on a boy. I actually know someone who had a son named [name_u]Morgan[/name_u] and it fit him perfectly. My name is [name_f]Erin[/name_f] and I get my named spelled the boys way all the time & I have been mistaken for a boy as well. Sure, it’s annoying, but it’s not a big deal to me. If [name_u]Morgan[/name_u] feels right for your son then I say use it.
