I personally prefer it on a boy, but I wouldn’t be disgusted to hear it used on a girl.
I only know girls named [name_u]Morgan[/name_u], and I prefer it on a girl, but I could also see it on a boy.
I don’t have any particular feelings about it for a boy, but if I were going to use any version of it, I’d say girl - and it would be [name_f]Morgana[/name_f]. [name_u]Love[/name_u] this name. It’s beautiful, strong, slightly exotic, and way under-appreciated.
I only know or know of female Morgans, with the exception of [name_u]Morgan[/name_u] Spurlock (I think that’s his last name…he did the documentary Supersize Me). It’s my sister’s middle name. I don’t particularly like it for either gender, but I prefer it on a girl.
A friend named her baby daughter [name_u]Morgan[/name_u] recently and though I’m not a huge fan of the name I think it suits her with her dark hair. That’s the only [name_u]Morgan[/name_u] I’ve ever known [name_m]IRL[/name_m].
I think that [name_u]Morgan[/name_u] is genuinely unisex. I do prefer it a girl, though.
I like it equally for both.
I think of it as a boy’s name, but I don’t really like it.
I like it on a boy, it seems gentlemanly or a bit preppy maybe. I think of [name_u]Morgan[/name_u] [name_m]Freeman[/name_m]. On a girl it feels trendy, in the flash in the pan, not enduring but date stamped.
I know [name_u]Morgan[/name_u]'s of both. However, my best friends name is [name_u]Morgan[/name_u] (boy) and when I told my husband, at the time boyfriend, that I was out with [name_u]Morgan[/name_u], he thought he ([name_u]Morgan[/name_u]) was a girl, until they met. I myself associate a [name_u]Morgan[/name_u] as a girl 90% of the time.
I think when I was a kid I knew a girl named [name_u]Morgan[/name_u] and as a result I’ve always thought it sounded like a girl name. However, I know of more males named [name_u]Morgan[/name_u]: [name_u]Morgan[/name_u] [name_m]Freeman[/name_m], [name_u]Morgan[/name_u] from “[name_m]General[/name_m] Hospital”, and [name_u]Morgan[/name_u] the unicorn from the [name_f]Serendipity[/name_f] books.
I’ve known people of both genders named [name_u]Morgan[/name_u]. I think [name_u]Morgan[/name_u] is like [name_u]Ashley[/name_u]: it was really popular in the 80s and early 90s for girls and pretty much only girls, but before and after that peak it’s more suitable for boys. If I met a 25 year-old named [name_u]Morgan[/name_u], I’d guess female. If someone wanted to use the name now, I think it would be better on a boy.
I don’t like the name on either but I’d have to say girl as someone from my HS was named [name_u]Morgan[/name_u]
I agree with previous posters. I prefer [name_u]Morgan[/name_u] for a boy and [name_f]Morgana[/name_f] for a girl.
My cousin was named [name_u]Morgan[/name_u], but then renamed [name_f]Kate[/name_f] because her parent decided the name was too masculine.
I think it is masculine, definitely.
Both. There’s no reason it has to be one or the other.
