Personal experiences with the name Morgan

I was born in 1995 with the name Morgan Taylor. I always liked my name and didn't mind the unisex at all. Being called Megan does happen, but it doesn't bother me much, figuring I had a childhood best friend named Megan. I'm glad I was named Morgan rather than Taylor, since Taylor has way more popularity.

I was named Morgan in 91, as a way to honor my grandmother whose maiden name was Morgan. I love it, it can be feminine or masculine in the right context, unisex names are cool, but it does get annoying to be called Megan.

My name is Morgan(born in 1985), and didn't know many other female "Morgan's" growing up. I wish my name was a bit more feminine(my middle name is "Dayle"), but its not too bad. No one ever has a hard time pronouncing it, although I have been called "Meagan." My sister's names are Ashton(1987) and Jordyn(1992), my parent's liked the whole "boy name for girls."

My name is also Morgan. I love the name, but at the same time I don't at all. It is a unisex name more popular among girls in recent years. To me it sounds dull sometimes. However, I don't meet many Morgans' which I like. I often am called Meagan which does annoy me a lot. I just wish it had more of a flare to it.

My name is Morgan (1990) and growing up I knew lots of other Morgans, all female. So I never really understood why people saw Morgan as a male name since I didn't know any boys with the name. My parents also gave my sister (1994) a unisex name, Alexis, although people typically identify that as more feminine than Morgan. I do have a very feminine middle name (LeeAnn), so I'm sure that helped. I did hate being called Megan constantly, so to this day that is my least favorite name. Personally, I always liked my name!

I am a female Morgan born in '92. Growing up I found that my name was hard to say and I was sometimes confused for a boy (i.e., beginning of the school year when the teachers would make name tags for each kid, I usually ended up with a "boy" name tag with basketballs and baseballs on it instead of flowers and butterflies). BUT, now that I am an adult, I like my name and have grown to love it.
