Morgan 
Welsh, "Seashore"
Talk about a name with a split personality -- the two most famous Morgans are the blond soap diva Morgan Fairchild and the dignified Oscar-winner Morgan Freeman, who is constantly cast as the voice of maturity and reason. Though the name is popular with boys as well, it has really taken off as a dignified girl's name, reaching number 35 in 2007.
