Morgana
Back to my name of the day thing. What do you think of Morgana? I actually like Morgan for a girl better, but Morgana is nice and rich and dark. Opinions? Willoughby wolloughby willina, an elephant sat on Billina.

It's okay, but I like it much better than Morgan.

Yay!Morgana has been my favorite feminine name for a while now. I know many prefer Morgan for a girl - and I know it's a unisex name - but I've only ever known male Morgans, so for me Morgan is masculine.I love Morgana's dark, magical qualities. Even if it weren't for Arthurian legend I would probably still think of the High Middle Ages when hearing this name, and I'm a medieval history buff. But I also know this name is suitable for contemporary times because I actually knew a Morgana in college, and she was really nice.Finding a middle name I liked for Morgana took a long time, but I think I've settled on Morgana Genevieve.

I like it.

Well, I really dislike Morgan so trying to like Morgana is a stretch.Morgan is heavy and sad. Morgana is slightly better, but still has a gloomy air.

I like it but at least in an English speaking context Morgan might work better.

I really like Morgana I think its a very mysterious interesting name, I don't like the name Morgan all that much as a name for girls I think Morgana is better

I love Morgana for a girl, I think it has a nice flow, It is also unusual but easy to pronounce and spell at the same time. I have always felt that Morgan is quite masculine, so I do like Morgana better for a girl than Morgan.

I really, really like Morgana. It sounds so dark and wonderful and I love the ties to legend/fairy tale. I've never liked Morgan for any gender. I would never use Morgana, but I seriously appreciate it as a name. Morgane is cool too.

I also like Morgan on a girl (it's one of the very few names I like equally on boys and girls), but there's just something about Morgana that's alluring and enchanting in a mysteriously sinister way. So great. It always makes me think of ravens for some reason.

My friend Skye just gave birth to one of these on the 28th! They called her Morgana Nicole. I like the combo all right (Nicole is honouring). I far prefer Morgana over Morgan - it's much more interesting. "Rich and dark" is a great way of describing it. It's an enchantress name for sure.When I told my mom about Skye's Morgana, though, she immediately started singing a pretty gross song called "Morgana Jones". Hopefully few people will do the same to little Morgana as she's growing up. My mom's great for having a mental inventory of inappropriate songs for any occasion.

Haha, your mom sounds fun. x]

I also like Morgan better. Morgana just has too many witchy/mysterious lady connotations for me, and I just don't like the ending sound as much.

I think Morgana is lovely - very whimsical and appealing.

I absolutely love, love, love Morgana! I really love the dark, stormy, mysterious imagery I get from it, and I like the link to Arthurian legend, which is probably where I get the imagery from. Plus, to me, it sounds beautiful, yet is very underused, and not popular at all, which makes me love it even more. I love Morgana for a girl, as an alternative to Morgan, which I prefer on a boy.

In theory, I love Morgana and it's been a favourite for a long time.I do think it might be a little awkward to say in real life; I feel like that with a lot of 'ahn' names.Having said that, I wouldn't necessarilly rule it out. I'v been saying it out loud to myself and can imagine calling someone. :) I definitely prefer Morgana, but I do like Morgan. I also like Morrigan, although I think that name is unrelated they're all linked in my head.Just thought of the comboMorgana Raven

I like both Morgana and Morgan for girls, I love the Arthurian and slightly gothic feel they both have. They're very witch-y :)

I don't care for it. Its one of those names that may SEEM like a good idea but when said out loud, sounds awkward and clunky. Oddly enough, I do like JordanaMy preferences
Morgan: unisex
Jordan: boy
Jordana girl
Morgana: girl but prefer Jordana
