I actually find this name to be very nice. The backstory behind it is very interesting. I like that it's pronounced Mor-ree-un, I always thought it was Mor-ree-gun until now.

Not bad, but I think the similar name Morgana sounds prettier.

I really like this name! Don't really care about the association, but it is a great name.

Never liked the name Morgan personally. Morrigan has an air of elegance and sophistication to it. I would probably use it as a middle name rather than a first, but that's just me. Plus the meaning is sick. Love it.

I used to think it was really cool, then I met someone with the name, and now I can't ever use it because of the (obnoxious) association. Oh well, now I just think of crows when I hear the name.

I totally love this name! I love Dragon Age so I'm definitely a fan of it! I love mythology too, so it's a win-win for me!

Great to see it’s more feminine because my last name is fully masculine and very unpopular as a first name!

Looks like a combination of my last name (Morrison) and Morgan. It’s a cute name. (;

I love this name, as I do most 'M' names.
I never knew the 'g' was silent, though. I'll admit, since it's my first time hearing it this way, I prefer it with the g sound. But I have no doubt I'll get used to hearing it as g-less.
Perhaps a nickname could be Morrie, though that seems like a word...

In the award-winning video game franchise "Dragon Age," the character Morrigan is a feared (sort of) and rude so-called "Witch of the Wilds" who may aid the protagonist(s). In the game, her name is pronounced mo-rih-gun.

Morrigan (or the more Irish looking Mórríghan) is what I want to call my daughter if I have one. I'm very interested to find out that the 'G' is silent, I've been saying it as "MOOR-ee-gan" so thank you whoever it was that specified that one. "MOOR-ee-an" is actually even prettier.

My whole life I had no idea the G was silent. Thankfully I've never met anyone named this and messed their name up, at least now I know. I think it sounds very nice the 'wrong' way and the 'right' way. It's very strong and regal sounding, I get the same vibes from Rhiannon.

I like it, but you'd probably get confused for Morgan a lot.

Morrígan is a witch and ally in the new game Dragon Age: Origins. The name suits her because she has feathers on her right shoulder and is very war-like.

There is some disagreement over the meaning of the Morr¨ªgan's name. It can be straightforwardly interpreted as "great queen" (Old Irish m¨®r, great;[1] r¨ªgan, queen, [2] deriving from a hypothetical Proto-Celtic *M¨¡ra R¨©gan¨©-s.[3] However it often lacks the diacritic over the o in the texts. Alternatively, mor (without diacritic) may derive from an Indo-European root connoting terror or monstrousness, cognate with the Old English maere (which survives in the modern English word "nightmare") and the Scandinavian mara.[4] This can be reconstructed in Proto-Celtic as *Moro-r¨©gan¨©-s.[5] Current scholarship mostly holds to Morr¨ªgan being the older, more accurate form. The use of the term Queen could be misleading and her name could mean great hight or great power, understood in terms of a Druidess.
