Murphy

Murphy for a girls name?
We really like it would like to know what other people think

I have a Hector and so many people have said they love the name. Maybe I just know nice people though

People can be so rude on here, go with what you want!

go with what you want!

No, don't just "go with what you want", consider the affect on your unborn child a they are the ones who are going to have to live with your decision. Why saddle them with a shit name? (And I don't mean Hector. Although I am from the Hector's House generation and know no Real Life ones so it will always be a cartoon dog to me!)

FYI I had a little boy last November and we called him Murphy, in our eyes he is perfect (and yes we do call him Smurf as a nick name)

Love it - congratulations!

Murky. Morphine.

And yes, it sounds like a dog's name, sorry. Also, very American.

Smurfy.

Congrats on your son. Hopefully you gave him a good middle name.

I remember this thread! I think I’m on it somewhere, though under a different account.

Congratulations on the arrival of baby (boy) Murphy @op !

Awful. I'm Irish and I dislike this much more than I like Kennedy which seems to be used as a first name too. Murphy is just a common sur name but it's used in jokes to denote 'irish person in this joke'. Really think it'd be a bad choice. Delaney, Kinsella, Gillespie, Bellamy,,,, some sur names have a bit of oooh la la! Use one of those!

Oops

Why doesn't MN have an edit button. What I wanted to say was

congratulations!

How wonderful! Congratulations op, it's a fab name

It's not unique. I know a woman called Murphy.

I think it can sound very cool but only with a surname that really goes with it and makes a really ace sounding full name. Like a Bond girl name kind of thing.

I realise this is a zombie thread and the baby has been born (congrats OP) but just out of interest, why do so many of you hate Hector?! Surely it's a pretty common name in a few languages?

Because of the meaning of the verb 'to hector' and the potential nickname Heck .

Congrats . Murphy is lovely
