I love it. It's certainly better than Morgan for a girl to me, which is--aside from the stolen name issue--overused imo.

Morgana's mysterious, beautiful, exotic, and a little "witchy". Maybe the latter's because I vaguely remember the quirky witch Morgana McCawber (or Macawber, nobody agrees as to her ln's spelling) on Darkwing Duck. Or maybe Morgan le Fay is influencing me. Either way, "witch" in this instance is benevolently magical, nothing evil or anything.

I picture a dark-haired girl too, but dark red hair also comes to mind. And she has dark brown eyes and a Mona Lisa smile.

EDIT: Clarity in the first sentence. This is what I get for writing a post seconds before a school class!

I do prefer it to Morgan which I've never cared for. It does sound like an intelligent name now that you mention it. But I think I could see it on a child as well as a grown woman.

I don't like the name Morgana. How about Morgan, Megan, Lana?

When I really think about a name I can picture its bearer's entire life. Morgana always loved the outdoors and drove her mother nuts in the fall because she brought all the dying leaves into the house - and always the brown ones that were falling apart. She was shy in kindergarden because she had to start wearing glasses, but once she made friends she was fine. She always liked to climb trees and walk through nature, and ended up scraping her knees a lot, but was never afraid of the blood or the pain. When she was a jr. high she was embarressed of the scars that remained there, and of her frizzy, golden brown hair that was everywhere, and her not perfectly flat wasite. She was quiet in high school. She'll forever regret her first kiss with a boy who was using her. She'll never forget her boyfriend senior year who made her feel beautiful. She bloomed in college. She got top grades and found that she liked herself and was proud of the fact that she was thoughtful and articulate, and proud of the fact that her friends really did care for her and she cared for them. She ended up marrying in her mid-thirties and had no children, but was all of her neices and nephews favorites aunt. Her hair remained frizzy even after it turned white.

I have fun with these things.

I like Morgana, but slightly prefer just Morgan. I've always loved them, but after reading Marion Zimmer Bradley's books, this and the other characters' names have been climbing nearer and nearer to the top of my list :-)

I've been thinking of the name Morgana, too. I like it, but I'm not sure if I would use it. I see a girl with dark brown or reddish-brown hair who's really pretty, smart, and outgoing.

I really like it. I don't know what kind of person i see it on, i guess it would depend. I like the how the name is unique but not out there and is very strong but feminine sounding.

It is not really my style, but it is definitely better than using Morgan on a girl in my opinion. I could picture the name on a girl/woman of any age.

Edited for clarity.

This is a little out of naming character for me but I prefer Morgan to Morgana. Morgana makes me think of a witch, a cartoon one. I don't know why. I like Morgan for boys and girls though currently I'm prefering it for boys.
