Murren?

[kerryk]

a friend has asked me to get opinions on this, do you love it or hate it? (have to say i love it)

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

girls name. i thought it was scottish but my friend is convinced it is irish.

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

so its not looking good so far then?

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

don't like it, sorry

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

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.

think the spelling and sound are ugly

I'm going on holiday in Murren

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

agree with Gossip.

Murren is a small village in the Swiss Alps.

It's positively weird as a first name and rather too close to "moron" for comfort.

It' s kind of ugly looking.

I also have a feeling "murrain" is some kind of cattle disease...

My son's doctor is Muireann, pronounced Mwirren, and sometimes Mirren. Bit like Helen Mirren. I quite like it, don't love it.

Yes, mór is gaelic for big.

I know of quite a few Mirren's. It's quite popular here (north scotland) and I like it!

Too close to Maureen?

There are loads of Mirrens in Paisley after the local football team. I think all the variations are from the same root.

the original spelling is Muiranne (pn mirren) and its a beautiful name
