HelpRe: Why?! (+edit)

Yeah I got that :) But damn.. You normally say a name out loud with the first name and surname to check if it sounds good for your child, right?

True. Maybe they're Dead Like Me fans; the main character was a girl named George (short for Georgia in her case, but almost always called George).
I do think many Americans consider Morgan feminine now. She'll probably actually get called Morgan by people occasionally; people mistake my surname for my first name pretty regularly and my first name isn't even a surname like George is.

I actually know a girl named Morgan (and I'm not even living in an English speaking country). I thought it was seen as more of a girls name than a boys name?
A little off topic, but this reminded me: I got called by my surname mostly by teachers. But my surname means roughly 'men / gentlemen'. One of them kept saying 'Gentlemen shut up!' and I just kept talking, even though he meant me, bc I thought he was talking to the boys :D

That's what I was saying about Morgan. It charts for both but has been more popular for girls. I guess the point I was making was that in your first post, you said "George Morgan doesn't sound feminine", but most Americans would think "Morgan = girl", so really only George is the problem.

Ah ok. I misunderstood. I just meant as a combo it doesn't fit all that well. The double -or- sounds makes it bad, and George on a girl is just... bad. Not feminine at all. Even Morgan doesn't give off any sort of feminine vibe when paired with George...
