The following quote is taken from A Breath of Snow and Ashes by Diana Gabaldon, Chapter 5, The Shadows Which Fire Throws. Copyright© 2005 by Diana Gabaldon. All rights reserved.

‘“What’s your full name?” I asked again.
“Ian James FitzGibbons Fraser Murray,” he said, rather crossly. “Why d’ye keep asking me my name?”
“FitzGibbons?” I said. “Where on earth did you get that one?”
He groaned and put two fingers against his eyelids, wincing as he pressed gently.
“Uncle Jamie gave it to me---blame him,” he said. “It’s for his auld godfather, he said. Murtagh FitzGibbons Fraser, he was called, but my mother didna want me named Murtagh.”’

[> I know from personal experience it's verra annoying when all you want to do is sleep and someone keeps asking your name.... I wonder why Jenny didn't want him called Murtagh? -- jayn, 11:44:56 05/27/12 Sun

[> I should think it was an aversion to the name not the man....as I recall Jenny was fond of Murtagh and was teasing him in the kitchen about how much he was eating when Claire put on Ellens bracelets.... its funny how we react to names when we come to naming our children.......... -- Aussiewench, 17:20:42 05/27/12 Sun

[> School teachers have the hardest time choosing names for their children. So many names are eliminated by former students whose name now has negative associations. :-) -- ruthlass, 21:27:16 05/27/12 Sun

[> I think maybe she thought it would be awkward since he had been an admirer of hers. -- julia, 21:34:50 05/27/12 Sun

[> [> I think you mean Murtagh had been an admirer of Ellen. As far as I know, he wasn't enamored of Jenny. -- CathyS, 06:35:12 05/28/12 Mon
