Can you help me settle an arguement about this name please

[DinosaursOnAnAdventCalender]

Ds4 is due in 8 weeks and exp and I have been discussing names.

He has just text me and said he has found a name he loves.... Murry.

I said I like the name but that it is spelt wrong. I'm not 100% on the correct spelling but Murry just doesn't look right. So I googled and the most common version seems to be Murray.

(Or Moray, Muiredach, or Murrey as versions of the same name)

He says its Muríel (with a fada over the 'i'

Which to me is a girls name (Muriel's Wedding) and sounds nothing like Murray.

Any thoughts?

[DinosaursOnAnAdventCalender]

And now he's saying Murragh - that's not even close is it?

[IveBeenGoodSantaIPromise]

Murray is a boys name. Def has an a in it. Fairly common in Scotland. I like it

[gallicgirl]

Like Murray mint?

[DinosaursOnAnAdventCalender]

Yep like the Murray mint

Even with a fada Muríel isn't pronounced Murray is it? He would get teased at school and people would assume he was female if they didn't know him. It's like a boy named Sue!

[CatchingMockingbirds]

Go with Murray, or your son will forever be called Muriel.

[DinosaursOnAnAdventCalender]

His latest suggestions are Finbar and Fergus.

At least he's taking an interest I suppose

[QODRestYeMerryGentlemen]

I like fin, and I like Murray

[GoldPlatedNineDoors]

Murray.

Love Fergus and Angus, basically anything that I can use Gus for

[DinosaursOnAnAdventCalender]

I like Gus as a shortened version, I hadn't thought of that.

[ChippingInAWinterWonderland]

Fergus - OK, but a tractor really :)

Finbar - not my taste really.

But Jesus Wept - even Stanley is better than Murray!!

I appreciate that by DS4 names are harder to come by, but bloody hell, if this is what he's coming up with, best you find some soon!!

[DinosaursOnAnAdventCalender]

These are his better suggestions. He was obsessed by Paidraigh (par-drik) for ages - nickname Patsy or Pob.

[ATruthUniversallyAcknowledged]

Hahaha, I like your DH but would never, ever let him name any child of mine

[sweetkitty]

I know quite a few wee Murrays.

[GoldPlatedNineDoors]

Patsy??

Patrick nn Paddy yes but Patsy??

[poppy283]

Patsy! Hilarious!

[DinosaursOnAnAdventCalender]

Yep Patsy he says his granda was nicknamed Patsy so I couldn't laugh out loud to his face but I did in my head!

[stifnstav]

Does he like a drink, your DH? I'd like to have a beer with him and he can teach me new nicknames!

[DinosaursOnAnAdventCalender]

He drinks far to much (partly why he's my ex) maybe it's addled his brain
