Currently expecting DS2 and may be going bonkers but today I've decided I quite like the name Murphy..... Struggled with boys names the first time and this time is no different, DS1 is Fred so need something relatively traditional but don't want to risk there being 5 other children with the same name in the class etc. Any thoughts??

Yes it's a classic, a classic surname.

Murphy is a classic, easy to spell/pronounce name that isn't used much already - what's not to like?

I don't get the potato association

Mad

You are mad. Sorry. I speak as someone with experience of a child with this name. They will be called Spud or potato all the time. They will ask why their brother has a real name and they do not.

Only if you can stand the thought of him being called Spud. Usually unavoidable with a surname.
