Mordake the Earl of Fife, and eldest son / To beaten Douglas, and the Earls of Athol, / Of Murray, Angus, and Menteith.

b) Any of a number of places in the U.S.A. and elsewhere.

Murray was the sort of name he might have expected his father to pick. Murray : not a family name, not a friends name, not some old blowhard up in New Hampshire (his fathers home state) whod sat around in the general store playing checkers and sucking his teeth. Murray was a name you couldnt do anything with. Murr — what the hell kind of nickname was that? The kids in second and third grade had certainly seen the names possibilities. With the appropriate swishes and vocal flutings, they called him "Mary".
