I live with a Murphy. His middle name is...duh...?
If you don't know at least 5 Murphys who are not (knowlingly------ya, that's a good one!) related to each other, then you are NOT a native Bostonian. I know 6.
And why do you think they threw them in paddy wagons?
I went to school with a Paddy O'toole. We called him "Wrench."
Always call the place you live a house. When you're old, everyone else will call it a home.

There has been a Pat in every generation of my family as far back as anyone has traced. Except this one. We have chosen not to have kids, my middle brother got the big snip after three (none named Pat) and that just leaves the youngest to fulfill the obligation. My father is already pressuring him as he gets married this summer.
Just in case though, we named one of our cats with Patrick as his middle name. Stewie has "Stewart Patrick Murphy" on all his vet records.
On the topic of names. I just heard what a couple we know, Cox family, called their newborn boy, Isaac. They had struggled for some time to find just the right name that wouldn't, shall we say, clash with their last name. They thought they had nailed it with Isaac because it doesn't sound like any other word on it's own.
If you agree, say "Isaac Cox" three times as fast as you can. Preferably, out loud amongst a crowd of co-workers. I started laughing hysterically when they told me. I didn't have the heart to tell them why I was laughing. I had to make up a story about a former friend Isaac who was such a wild and crazy guy.

If you named her Peppermint Patty Murphy, you'd never have to worry about her getting pregnant.

Some o' the boys got loaded drunk and they ain't got sober yet.
As long as the bottle was passed around every man was feelin' gay.
O'Leary came with the bagpipes some music for to play.
That's how they showed their respect for Paddy Murphy.
That's how they showed their honor and their pride.
They said it was a sinner's shame and they winked at one another.
And every drink in the place was full on the night Pat Murphy died.

This song came up years ago on my playlist while my brother Pat and his kids were visiting. It made his 8 year old son cry.
