Kirk as a first name?

Question

Last name is Murphy. Kirk was my maiden name but I don't know about using it as a first name. Someone suggested it to me. I don't think it sounds right. Maybe I'm just use to it as a last name though. No idea on middle name. I like Alan after my hubby but again it doesn't sound right.

Answer 1

I know a guy named Kirk. I think it's a very nice first name, and lots of people name their kids after their surname, its actually a very common family tradition!

good luck in whatever you choose, I think Kirk Murphy is very nice =)

Answer 2

Don't really like Kirk for a first name,

if youu want to use it

try it as a middle name :)

Answer 3

Yeah, I think of Captain Kirk, too! I like "Hope2b's" answer though!

Answer 4

I'm not to fond of Kirk. I like Alan, but I'm not fond of giving a child the first the same as the daddy's name. You could give  your child Alan as a middle name. I like Joshua Alan.

Answer 5

Kirk to me sounds g*y..you could make it the middle name. Michael Kirk Murphy sounds good to me

Answer 6

yeah, i like the name kirk, i have an older cousin named kirk

Answer 7

Kirk is mainly a last name and if named Kirk he would get lots of star trek taunts.

I'd love it in the middle name slot, but not in the first.

James Kirk Murphy

Nolan Kirk Murphy

Sebastian Kirk Murphy

Shane Kirk Murphy

Elijah Kirk Murphy

Xavier Kirk Murphy

Alexander Kirk Murphy (the Al after your hubby(

Answer 15

I don't think it is the greatest name, but It could definitely be used as a first name. In the show " Gilmore Girls" (my fav show) that is one of the guys on the show's first name! Kirk Murphy sounds really good together, you could do Kirk Alan Murphy! Good Luck with your baby ( If you are having one)!  : )

Answer 16

I only know one guy named Kirk (besides knowing of Kirk Cameron), and he was really good looking so I get a good image when I hear that name. It doesn't sound g*y, I think its a good name and sounds fine with alan. Kirk Alan Murphy. Sounds really good to me.

Answer 17

I'm sorry but the name Kirk is hideous... I'd go back to the drawing board

Answer 18

Captain Kirk.

Sorry gotta say it.  He'll hear it the rest of his life.

Personally I like the name.

Answer 19

Answer 20

Last names should never be used as first names.  That's just stupid.

Just like these idiots that like to use Emerson, Jefferson, Jackson, Lincoln, Densar, and Eisley as first names.  -___-

Answer 21

I kinda like it. But maybe for a middle name? Alan Kirk?

Answer 22

i love the name kirk.

But you might have to deal with some pretty stupid

star trek jokes from ill mannered jerks.

Answer 23

i love the name kirk! or maybe i just loved kirk Cameron from growing pains! i think its an adorable name and i acutally considered using it..

Answer 24

no its sounds manly and strong kirk sounds like a super heroes alter ego name. for a mega beefy super hero
