Opinions on these boys names?

[trueblueari]

There are 2 boys names I'd love to use in the future, and I'm curious what you think of them and which one (if any) you prefer.

The names are Murdo and Thatcher.

I live in Scotland, if it makes any difference!

Im English but Thatcher reminds me of Margaret Thatcher and Murdo sounds like Murder.
It might sound different to a Scot though maybe?

Same as above poster.

Thatcher is Maggie Maggie Milk Snatcher.

Murdo just sounds like murder.

I agree with the previous posters.

As a Scot I like Murdo, not such a fan of thatcher.

What about Munro rather than Murdo?

Exactly the same thoughts as first reply above

I'm sorry, they're both terrible.

Thatcher still a bit divisive for the UK I think!

Murder and Maggie Thatcher are not things I would ever want to evoke.

Sholto?
Milto?

Thaddeus?

Murdo is a lovely name. I live in Scotland and wouldn't think twice at the name Murdo.

Murdo is fine, Thatcher not so much, please don't do that to your child.

Agree with PP. Thatcher has very negative connotations for me because of Maggie.

Murdo sounds like he should be the villain in a superhero film. Too similar sounding to murder.

Murdo is lovely. Thatcher just makes me think instantly of Margaret... Not a good thing.

Murdo - lovely.

Sorry, another no for Thatcher.

Murder and Margaret Thatcher.

I'm Australian and would still immediately make the Margaret Thatcher connection.

Should say though, the only other association I have with Murdo is a beagle I came across in a pub in Pitlochry. So that's not so negative.

I'm not keen on these names (sorry).

Murdo after Murdo Fraser? My immediate thought seeing those two together was that you're going for a Tory name. If so for the love of god not Thatcher in Scotland! A Cameron could fly under the radar easily. Murdo's not too bad.

Ah I've just seen your username. That'll be a yes then!

Wind up thread 😵

Murtagh instead? Like in Outlander.
