I love my name as it's the given name of the historical woman who became known as Morgan le Fay in Arthurian legend and she's one of my personal heroines.
She was named Morgaine, after her mother Igraine and it's a name I've used in many places online and I myself, regardless of others, think it's a very beautiful name and as a historical character, also, I believe, a bit rare as there are many players who use versions of this name with alternate spellings and numbers and spaces etc.
Morgaine has also been known as Morgana/Morganna etc. but different historians have a tendency to alter names, especially women's names - the Victorians were responsible for a lot of that! For instance, they renamed the warrior queen Bouddica to Boadiccea because they thought it sounded more feminine! (Trivial bit of FYI for you.)
Anyway, I love my name and it's unique and it's the original spelling and everything.
