Help[Opinions] Re: Meredith and Morgan
in reply to a message by Miss Emily Knox
I don't really like Meredith in general, on either gender, but despite the traditional usage on guys and that it comes from a Welsh masculine name, it definitely feels more feminine. As someone has already mentioned in this thread, this name reminds them of Mary, and the same is true for me, so perhaps that is the reason, or maybe that before I've started to be more interested in Anglophone names, I'd only seen this name in a few books and it was exclusively on females.
It feels very modern-sounding to me and feels rather youthful. I don't particularly like the way it sounds, it just doesn't feel attractive to me at all.
I do like Morgan a lot though, on either gender, though I slightly prefer it as a masculine name. I like the Celtic and Arthurian connections of it, it makes me think of the sea, nature in general, and of some sort of a fairytale world. It combines tradition with a rather modern feel in my view. Though I probably wouldn't use it on a child myself, perhaps only as a middle name. It feels very handsome and strong as a masculine name, while it coould be very feminine on a girl, so I think it's very flexible. I also love Morgana for a girl, or Morgaine or Morgane, which spellings I think make it look more definitely feminine so would work well if one would like to avoid confusion and have even more of a folksy vibe to me personally.
