I actually find this name to be very nice. The backstory behind it is very interesting. I like that it's pronounced Mor-ree-un, I always thought it was Mor-ree-gun until now.
Never liked the name Morgan personally. Morrigan has an air of elegance and sophistication to it. I would probably use it as a middle name rather than a first, but that's just me. Plus the meaning is sick. Love it.

I used to think it was really cool, then I met someone with the name, and now I can't ever use it because of the (obnoxious) association. Oh well, now I just think of crows when I hear the name.
I love this name, as I do most 'M' names. I never knew the 'g' was silent, though. I'll admit, since it's my first time hearing it this way, I prefer it with the g sound. But I have no doubt I'll get used to hearing it as g-less. Perhaps a nickname could be Morrie, though that seems like a word...
In the award-winning video game franchise "Dragon Age," the character Morrigan is a feared (sort of) and rude so-called "Witch of the Wilds" who may aid the protagonist(s). In the game, her name is pronounced mo-rih-gun.
Morrigan (or the more Irish looking Mórríghan) is what I want to call my daughter if I have one. I'm very interested to find out that the 'G' is silent, I've been saying it as "MOOR-ee-gan" so thank you whoever it was that specified that one. "MOOR-ee-an" is actually even prettier.
My whole life I had no idea the G was silent. Thankfully I've never met anyone named this and messed their name up, at least now I know. I think it sounds very nice the 'wrong' way and the 'right' way. It's very strong and regal sounding, I get the same vibes from Rhiannon.
The Morrigan appears as a character in Kevin Hearne's Iron Druid Chronicles. She is the Celtic Goddess of Death, able to transform into a great black bird, among other forms.
Morrígan is a witch and ally in the new game Dragon Age: Origins. The name suits her because she has feathers on her right shoulder and is very war-like.
This name was used in the book "Hounds of the Morrigan" as the collective name of the triple battle goddess. If you like Irish mythology then you should definitely read the book.
