Although I generally hate surnames on girls, Morgan is an exception. It's not a favorite, but I don't mind it. I actually prefer it on a girl.

There's something about this name that really puts me off. I can't explain it. I just dislike it.

I like it but I always thought it was boring. It is nice though and has a mature sound to it, particularly on a male (maybe I’m just thinking of Morgan Freeman lol). I like it as a unisex name.

I prefer it for a boy too. Maybe because of the show Merlin, but I've always liked Morgana for a girl.

I like it and although I wouldn't consider it ever a top favorite, I still think it's a nice, solid name. And I also prefer it for a boy, although I'm ashamed to say that wasn't always the case. :S

I like it on anyone. It's one of those names that has landed pretty firmly unisex, which is a pleasant and unusual happenstance. Interesting that it's stayed fairly persistently for males (albeit at lower numbers) but for females has been a bit more flash-in-the pan in several regions. I hope Avery goes the same way, although I despair about that one. It has a Y, it must be feminine! Sigh.

I like it, but don’t love it. I find it to be more feminine than masculine as I associate it with the character from the King Arthur/Camelot story. It’s also quite similar to Morrigan, also female. Morgan has a strong and natural vibe to me.

I always kind of liked it, but never enough to use. It is one of those names that is completely unisex to me, kind of like Jordan. I can see it on both genders.

I've never encountered it on a girl, and I hope I never do - my Welsh great-great-great grandfather, Morgan Davies, would never recover. As it is, I'd use it if I had enough sons.Morgana could work I suppose, but the character isn't particularly appealing!

Lots of American girls are named Morgan :P I've actually only met one male Morgan here and a lot of female Morgans, but I still think of it as a relatively masculine name. I like Morgana more though, and I think it's appealing enough especially since the character is good in a lot of adaptations.

Morgan has a separate etymology as a feminine name: http://www.behindthename.com/name/morgan-2

Separate, but perhaps not? I'd have to do more research (I'm not an expert of course) but given that Morcant is an ancient Celtic name and it and Muirgen both mean essential "of the sea" I wouldn't be surprised if the two are etymologically related further back. That being said, Welsh often does its own thing. ;)
