Murray, thoughts?

After asking what people thought of Hamish the other day I'm now interested in thoughts/opinions on Murray? It's less common but a good strong Scottish name none the less....

I like Murray and prefer it to Hamish

Mints!

I'm not wild about surnames as names, but I think this one would work.

Thanks for all the responses :)
I had never considered it but DH piped up with the fact he loved it today. Can tell he really wants to use it but I do still quite like Hamish...

I slightly prefer Murray to Hamish if I'm honest. And there do seem to be loads of Hamishes around just now.

I like it. I know Murrays of all ages. Suits baby, child and adult alike.

I always think of mints. It's ok but prefer Hamish by a mile.

My first thought was Andy. Grin

Love it. Wish I had picked it for my third child as its a family name but I just didn't even think about it. Know one child Murray and know of a few more (in Scotland). I prefer it to Hamish as well.

It always says 'Flight of the Concords' to me, but nice enough.

I like Murray.
