[Opinions] Twins on 20/20

20/20 is having a special called "Caught on Tape", about, well, stuff caught on tape.

Anyway, these twin teenage girls and their mother were videotaped changing in a restroom by the pervert of an owner. The mother's name was was Bobbie, but the twins were named Morgan and Michael-Anne (spellings guessed at).

The twins' names are nmsaa for girls, especially Michael. And Anne just seems to have been tacked onto Michael in a (vain) attempt to feminise Michael. :-/

I like the name Morgan, but I definitely don't care for Michael as a girl's name. I really don't like Bobbie for a girl either.

I like Morgan.

Haha your quote is hilarious. I know how you hate that. It's kinda funny because in almost all things I write I use ?? and !!!
Maybe I'm crazy???

Just testing. I'll put something here later.

Michael is strictly a boy's name to me. If they wanted a feminine version of it, then they should have gone with Michelle Anne (without the hyphen).

Morgan is very historical for a girl and I have no problem with it. In fact, I think it's just beautiful :-) Sound-wise I think Michael is OK on a girl, but it would need a female addition ... just not in the form of -Anne, which is desperately dull imo. I certainly wouldn't use Michael on a girl myself.

I think Morgan is actually okay--Michael is nmsaa, I agree with you that it doesn't sound at all feminin-y. Michelle-Anne sounds kinda pretty...
