I thought it was an easy one to remember... Courtney. Back in the day my parents assure me, Courtney was a boy's name. Then, apparently, girls felt they didn't have enough names to go around, so they started pinching the boy's names. Cameron, Courtney, Peta... I've a girl who's name was Tim; no nickname... just Tim. The previous paragraph may seem like a whinge, but you're mistaken... I got over all of that crap in primary school. 'You've got a girl's name!' '... yeah well... you look like a foetus'. I could always hold my own. No, the problem I have is because of my tenure on a certain TV show, people know me. Or at least they think they do. I was hanging out in a certain 'pub' last night, and too many times I got called 'Corey'... while it's a lot more masculine sounding than my name I guess, 'Corey' is a bit of a surfer's name. Have you seen me lately? Do I look like a surfer? A few times I get called Casey. That's cool, once again it's a girl's name so it would be easy to mistake; and they're mistaking me for the winner of my year on Idol: Casey Donovan. I could be called worse. I think the world of Casey, what an amazing voice in a deep soul. Then, of course, I get called Chris. He's my brother, and he was on Australian Idol as well, just in case someone is reading this had no idea. Doubt it though. I must say though, what's even better is when they say "Hey Chris"... and politely I correct them, "No sorry, I'm Courtney... Chris' brother". "Oh, yeah sorry.. nice to meet you... ... ... How's your brother?" Please don't ask me. I have no clue as to what Chris is doing at any one time. Chris gets the same question... I think it bugs him even more. My name is Courtney Ryan Murphy... I doubt you'll 'wear it out' ... but, you know, try it out sometime. You may get a positive response out of me. Love Court.
