Murdo and Torin

Hi everyone, I’m currently pregnant and struggling a bit with boys’ names this time.

What does everyone think of Murdo and Torin?

I was surprised when my family all really liked Murdo! We’re Scottish and the surname will be a Scottish one, if that matters. I’m not sure how well it ‘goes’ with DS’s name though, which is a very soft name with mainly vowel sounds (not Scottish), or if I even care whether they go in the first place. Is it too Scottish though?! We don’t live in Scotland atm.

I read that Torin is Irish and have added it to The List.

Thanks

Don't do it. They are not nice sounding names.

Torin is very nice.

Murdo...isn't. Sorry.

They both sound kind of Italian. Are they? I’m not sure about them as names.
