Meghan Grace - I love Meghan. I prefer the Megan spelling, and that is coming from someone whose sister spells it Meghan. She dislikes it as it is often misspelled. I think simpler is better, but both spellings are nice, and neither are made up. Grace is a filler mn, pretty boring. Meghan Murphy, although alliterative, is nice.
Emma Claire - Now Emma Murphy just doesn't flow. It is too "m" heavy.
Sarah Elizabeth - Sarah Murphy is pretty, although a bit plain. I still like it though.
Sarah Catherine

Meghan, Emma, and Sarah are all nice, but fairly common. I would scratch Emma off completely for bad flow. Now with Meghan and Sarah, your mn choices are too plain, Grace especially. It seems like you couldn't find anything you liked better, so you just stuck in the most common mn's. Since I like Meghan best, I will suggest a few mn's for Meghan Murphy:

Meghan Elise

Meghan Scarlett

Meghan Karina

Meghan Sage

Meghan Aurora

Meghan Adelyn

Meghan Bridget

Meghan Fiona

Meghan Isla "eye-luh"

Meghan Annabel

Meghan Georgia

First names that you may also like are:

Amelia nn Mia

Charlotte

Zoe

Elizabeth nn Libby

Adeline

Cora

HTH,let me know your thoughts

Meghan Murphy is too alliterative for me (I grew up Kelli Kinsey, and HATED it), and although Emma begins with a different letter, it actually sounds worse in my mind ... kind of like a stutter (Em-ma-mur-phy). If Emma Claire were used as a double name or if there was something to break up the repetitive M sounds -- Emmeline Murphy, nn Emma, for example -- I'd like it a lot. Sarah Catherine gmv.
