My name is Murphy and I am also a woman. I feel like many people think that the name isn't good; especially for a girl. However, I feel that it fits my personality extremely well, and when I tell people my name they usually like it. Concerning nicknames, I agree that there aren't many other than Murph, or even Mo. But I love that my name is unique and that it is something that I can't picture myself being called anything else.

Very ugly. I do not like surnames on girls, and the nickname options are limited. Also this name just reminds me of the word "barf".

It's only splendid as a surname yet awful as first name. Plus the Cillian Murphy association is too heavy. He's an incredibly good actor with a nice personality but it'd be annoying to repeatedly deal with jokes or comparisons, specially at school time.

Murphy sounds so harsh as a given name. I don't like it even on a boy and I do like masculine names! It's just too rough and coarse. It would be okay on a cat or a dog, though.

I hate this name for both sexes. I can't really imagine it on a guy, and on a woman, it sounds very ugly. It actually sounds like the name of a shabby middle-aged woman with a hideous 80s-like hairstyle with hair that looks electrified and ugly, loose-fitting clothes.
