Morgan for a girl.

What's the opinion on Morgan for a girl. We're also adding Zoe and Ruby to the list. Middle name is probably Patricia. Last name starts with a W. Ds son is Ow.en Gregor.y. 

Re: Morgan for a girl.

  • I prefer it on a boy and feel like if you're going to name your daughter Morgan her middle name should be Faye after the OG, but I highly doubt anyone would side eye you.

  • Morgan is nms at all, very dated, doesn't sound terribly attractive. Your other choices are much better. 
  • I love it. My goddaughter is Morgan, always loved the name.

  • Personally prefer it for a boy but it's actually a unisex name so that is something one is going for  I think it's a solid choice. My main issue is personal as every female Morgan I have ever met has been a giant asshole.


  • Morgan is NMS but there's nothing wrong with it. Of your choices I like Ruby the most.

    This. This was said perfectly.

  • I like it. I prefer it for a girl over a boy and I think Morgan Patricia goes well together and with Owen.
  • I've actually only met females named Morgan. I know at least five or six. 

  • I prefer Morgan on a boy, but it's perfectly acceptable for a girl just NMS. From your list I like Ruby Patricia. 
  • I don't like Morgan for a girl, but I don't like masculine or somewhat unisex names for girls. 
    But anyhow, I don't like Morgan for your girl since it doesn't sound nice with Owen. I'd avoid the matchy -en/-an ending when picking a name.

  • I LOVE Morgan for a girl, and I have never known a male Morgan. 
  • I've known one male Morgan. I don't like Morgana at all. It makes me think of morticia. Lol! It's definitely not set in stone.

    This is so interesting to me...I've never heard of Morgan as a boy name! I like it as a girl name. 

    Edit to add I just remembered Morgan Freeman lol. But I think that's the only male I "know".
  • As others have stated I immediately thought of Morgan Freeman, however it is a unisex name. 

    Honestly I do not like any of your names with Patricia as the middle name.
  • Patricia is a family name, and it is set in stone. I'm not terribly concerned with the flow. 
  • Morgan is nice and as PP's have said I have only heard it on girls.. Ruby is my favorite though and it goes nicely with Owen
  • Ruby is my favorite.

    This made me laugh. We might know the same Morgan's because this is so true.
  • I'm so used to Morgan as a girl's name now that I wouldn't bat an eye at it. However, I personally dislike unisex names so I do try to avoid them. I prefer Zoe of the options you listed.
  • I like it. It's actually on our short list for a girl and currently DH's favorite.

  • Morgan is fine for a girl. It's really NMS - the sound "morg" itself just sounds unattractive/abrasive to me.
  • Morgan has never sounded very pretty or strong to me. Maybe it's the MORG sound like someone said. I think all your other options are nicer. Even Patricia would make a better first name than Morgan. Ruby Patricia is lovely.

    This, but I will say that I've only ever known girls named Morgan so I do think of it as a girl's name.
  • Of your picks Ruby is my top choice, followed by Zoe. Not a huge fan of Morgan, but it's not a bad name. If you love it, go for it!
