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)

Really ugly name - looks horrible written down and sounds horrible when pronounced.

muireann, isn't it? pronounced 'mirren'

I think it's lovely - where's expat - didn't she call one of her dc this?

Muireann/Mirren is lovely.

Murren is not. Surpising what difference 1 letter makes.

I think Zermatt or Courmayeur are way classier....

What about Morven?

made me think of fish.

Never heard of it before, not sure if i do.

thanks to you lot murren is def now of the list of names.

we have both just about wet ourselves reading some of the replies. esp the one about cattle disease

There are loads of Murrens here where i live (east scotland) its very poular

It was William Wallaces wifes name

Fucking hell.
No way.
it sounds like some sort of weird deep sea fish.

i love it but only when pronounced in a scottish accent.

There used to be an animated programme in the 80's called Murrun Buckstansinger (sp). It was about a little potato shaped creature, who lived in a hole under the kitchen cupboard, and he wore clogs.

TimorousWeeBeastie - Actually it was only WW's wife's name in Braveheart, his "wife" was actually called Marion Braidfute but it's not clear whether they actually were married or whether that aspect of the William Wallace story was made up by Harry the Minstrel

I love Murron/Murrin/Mirren/Miren or whatever variations of the name you can find BUT it's become enormously popular up here since Braveheart in all the different variations of the spelling. I always thought I'd name my daughter that, but it's just too popular for me now.
