I think it's pretty, but I like the spelling "Mirren" or "Mirrin" better. I also like Maren and Mara, all very cute!

think the spelling and sound are ugly

The niece of a friend is called Murren. I think it's gaelic. I quite like the sound of it, but the spelling is slightly ugly.

i think the spelling she was planning on was murrin but i have written it down wrong.

morna is lovely but as her name is lorna it may be confusing

Are you thinking of the name Muireann? Which is actually pronounced M-w-irr-an, a bit like the beginning of Moi.

Pronounced properly I think it is gorgeous but dp couldnt get his head round it and have to say I really do NOT like it pronounced Murren TBH. Sorry

it's a skiing place in Europe isn't it? Don't know how I'd pronounce it.

I've never heard of it before. Is it for a boy or girl? Is it from any particular culture?
