Um if I had to choose, Alexis. AS Moragn too unisex, but prefer Alexa, but much prefer Alexandra shprtened to just Alex. More clarsy imo.

Mmm, neither, really. Morgan too unisex, as MrsBK says, and Alexis always sounds somehow witchy to me.

Alexis from your choices (dont like Morgan at all) but think Alexa is a lot nicer tbh.

Neither really, both a bit 'Dynasty' for me.

How about Alexia?

Alexis

neither, not least as Alexis is actually a boy's name (or was before Dynasty), and Morgan should have remained a boy's name, too

can't stand all these wee girls saddled with surnames like Taylor, Reilly, Bailey, Morgan and the like - they've plenty of time to become law firms when they grow up

Neither.
I dont like names that mean you have to guess the gender, and Alexis is too masculine too.
Sorry.

My DD is Morgane. I love it and it really suits her.

Don't you hate it when you read negative opinions on the name you've set your heart on?! I adore Alexis - to me it's feminine and strong, and I plan to use it if I have a girl (in about 2 weeks time!). But if I saw Morgan written down I'd assume it was a boy. However, I live in Northern Ireland and think there are sometimes big differences in how names come across here compared to other parts of the country.
