HelpRe: i'm surprised
in reply to a message by brydz
yeah as Caledonia said, Morven isn't entirely unknown here. There was a book called Morvern Callar by Allan Warner I'm not sure if that had anything to do with it's popularity as a girls name. Morvern is actually the spelling of the real placename, Morven was the name of the mythical Gaelic kingdom in the Ossian poems. Why it was decided it's a girls name I don't know. Personally I don't like it either, especially since it means 'big gap' it sounds like an insult to the persons intelligence!
You do see more Scottish names in the boys selection than the girls like Rory, Roderick, Gregor, Blair, Iain, Archie, Kyle, Hamish, Angus... It's something I've noticed people tend to be more traditional naming boys than girls. In the Scottish lists of all the names used in 2007 the boys list ends about a page before the girls.
