I am Welsh born & bred (& Welsh speaking), and I can tell you that Morgan is definitely a BOY's name. If you wish to call your daughter Morgan, then that's your choice. But for those of you that don't know the history or language, don't try to highjack and claim it as a girl's name
i couldn't name my son morgan i think morgan is a girls name
You know what, I actually really like the name Morgan Hayley or Hayley Morgan. Those two names just ring in my head and flow so well. But for some odd reason, the name Morgan sort of reminds me of oatmeal, but I like it just the same. -Izzy
Morgan was the name of my son before he passed at a young age. But I spelled it Morgon.
my son is named Morgan and I love it, it was only after he had been named that we found out his great nain (grandmother) has the name Morgan as her middle name.

My 7 year old is Morgan Ashley...I LOVE the name Morgan, and she likes it too. I like the unisex names...Erin
To me Morgan is more or a girl name. I think it fits my lil girl well. Her name is Morgan Taylor
My name is Morgan and I am a girl it is this very issue that avril edwards has touched on that promted me to look in to the matter I found that Geoffrey of Monmouth was the first known person to use it as a girls name (morgan la fay) and that is unlikley that it was derived from the welsh name because in his time the welsh name morgan was spelt diferently. Please do not acuse us of highjacking your language just because you have put no more research into the matter than us. By the way please think twice before naming your little girl morgan, or ar least let her grow her hair long, I hated being mistaken for a boy.
Me and my husband chose this name for our little girl. It honors where my husband went to college. WVU in Morgantown, WV. When we chose the name it wasn't too popular. But now I hear it more and more.
I think I would use this as a girls name..
those other "feminine" names are tooooooo much for a little girl and i never knew a litle boy named morgan
Morgan is an old Welsh name, and it's a mans name. Morgana and Morgaine are lovely feminine versions. Morgan doesn't sound at all feminine; it's just been used by women recently and so people who don't know better think it's a woman's name. My brother's name is Morgan; no one teases him about it. His daughter's name is Morgana.
