This is my first post here.
I was interested in your opinions on our chosen names for any future children - what do you think?

Boys
Finn Morrissey
Morgan Patrick

Girls
Gwendolyn Rose

Other possible girls names
Peggy
Matilda

(not sure on middle names for these, maybe Clare or Beth)

Finn is a first name, technically the Gaelic spelling is Fionn. Morrissey is after the singer, and yes, I know it's his last name but we like it lol. I don't mind Finn Patrick - Patrick runs in our family and we liked it as a second name for Morgan anyway.

Just my opinion, but I dont like Peggy at all..I hate to relate names to other things, but all I can think of is the redhead from Married With Children.

My best friend is due next month, and she's naming her daughter Gwendolyn! So I'm biased on that name. I don't really like Morgan on a boy or a girl, but I definitely support Finn. Peggy is cute, and not very common anymore.

finn morrissey is pretty gruesome. two surnames as a first and middle? brutal. finn can pass as a first name but i'd pair it with something else. love the girls names though!

Isnt Peggy the nn for Margaret?

[turabiannights.livejournal.com]

My only comment would be that the -yn ending in Welsh names is masculine - Gwendolen would be the feminine spelling.

I like Finn, Patrick and Rose. The rest aren't my style.

I like Finn Morrissey because I love Morrissey but I like Finn Patrick better, as another commenter suggested, and it could still be in honour of Morrissey.
I like Gwendolen Rose (with an e) and I like Mathilda spelled with an H.

I think that all of them are quite nice, except Peggy. I'm also not a huge fan of Finn because it reminds me of the word "fin", but as I commented in a recent post, I just have a personal preference against names that sound like words, but I don't think anything is really wrong with them. Maybe Peggy reminds me of pegs, haha. Gwendolyn Rose is very pretty.

I really like them all, except Peggy. I think Finn Morrisey is cool. Who cares if they're surnames. LOTS of names are surnames -- Ashley, Aaron, Parker, Logan, Morgan, Mackenzie. All surnames.

They're all basically nice and normal, which means you can't go wrong with any of them, even if Peggy and Mathilda are kind of old-fashioned sounding. (Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams's kid's named Matilda Rose.)

I want to like Finn Morrissey, but it does sound like a bit much. I like Fionn Patrick best. Morgan Patrick is nice also.

Gwendolyn Rose is pretty, though I am becoming more aware of the -yn vs. -en thing, so I would recommend Gwendolen. I was almost a Gwenevere, but I'm a Rose instead. Interesting!

Peggy is awful. Mat(h)ilda is sweet. I like Mathilda Clare.

I don't care for Finn Or Morrissey..

But Love Morgan Patrick (tho these days I think of morgan more for a girl then a boy.. *shurg*)

LOVE LOVE LOVE your girl name. SO pretty.

Matilda and Peggy.. Yuck. :(

Boys
Finn Morrissey- ery irish! Like
Morgan Patrick- Like

Girls
Gwendolyn Rose- gwendolyn is really ugly.. what about Genevieve?

Other possible girls names
Peggy-urgh ugly and old ladyish.. i prefer Maggie.
Matilda- my mother likes this name, cant see why. NMS.

[pap3r-heart.livejournal.com]

I love Finn and Gwendolyn. That would be such a nice sibset together.


I'm begging you though, don't ever use Peggy. I think it's awful.

[miss-gracie.livejournal.com]

Yeah it is, but my SO HATES Margaret (and already has three aunts called Margaret) but likes Peggy. I would prefer Margaret myself.

[miss-gracie.livejournal.com]

Thanks, I didn't know why there was a difference between the spellings. I've seen 'Gwendolenne' as well, I'm guess it's a French version? I think that the -enne ending is a bit over the top though.

[miss-gracie.livejournal.com]

I think I like Mathilda with a H better too.

[miss-gracie.livejournal.com]

I don't like Morgan for a girl at all, although I see it used a lot these days!

[ex-bluebonn.livejournal.com]

My dance teacher's name is Peggy, and she's only the most awesome person ever, so I'm biased. :)

[holly-megan.livejournal.com]

I love Morgan for a boy.
