Morgan as a boys name?

Thoughts?

 Its origin was originally a boys name and the girls version was Morganna. What are your thoughts of making the gender shift again? 

Re: Morgan as a boys name?

  • I dated a guy whose middle name was Morgan, but I am not a fan of it as a first name for a boy. I think it'd make him an easy target for teasing, but that's just me. Maybe use it as a MN?

  •  I like it better for a boy than a girl, but it really isn't my style.

  • I also went to high school with a boy Morgan and always felt it was weird as a girl's name to begin with.

  • I don't mind it for a girl, but would never use it for a boy. Too easy to make fun of. Imagine the other boys teasing him:

    Big M and a little organ.

  • I prefer it as a boys name.

  • Well there is Morgan Freeman and he's a guy but I prefer Morgan for a girl. 
  • My mom's friend has a daughter named Morgan (early 20's) so I tend to associate it with a girl, but I had a fb friend who has a 2 yo son named Morgan.

  • I've only known male Morgans, so I think "boy" when I hear it. I dislike unisex names on boys, though, so it's a no-go for me.

  • I've known Morgans, both male and female, and greatly prefer it as a guys name. I think that once a name becomes a unisex name, it's not technically a shift back, since it is, or always has been, appropriate for both sexes.

  • I LOVE Morgan for a boy, and really, it's falling in popularity for girls.  I only know female Morgans my own age.  I think it's ready to be reclaimed.
  • I love Morgan as a boys' name. I like it way more on a boy than a girl; I think it has a refined, gentleman quality that works so much better on a man.

  • It's still a boy name to me, though I don't mind it on a girl. I knew male Morgans before I knew any female Morgans.

  • This was my favorite name (more for a boy, but OK for a girl)

    DH nixed it because of the "Big M little organ".
