https://www.paranetonline.com/index.php/topic,50304.0.htmlThe above link is to a topic I created to discuss coincidences between Murphy and Mab. Since I believe Murphy will become Mab, I viewed these coincidences as Ironies. One of the last posts in that thread includes this about the origin of Murphy's name.
Is officer Murphy named after the officer in the Richard Scarry books?No. Murphy was named after Murphy from Robocop. The short, cute, looks like your favorite aunt, blond girl who is like "Murphy, it's you!". I'm not sophisticated guys, when I see a character I want -- gimmie that.
So Jim named Murphy after "Officer Anne Lewis" who makes that statement to Robocop, her former partner who is killed.

It told essentially the same story as the original. Robocop overcomes his programming, takes his revenge on the people who “killed” him the first time and reaffirms his identity as Alex Murphy and ergo regains his humanity.
So in my theory there is a Murphy who obtains some mantle, perhaps Mab's. She has to overcome the Mantles "programming" and takes revenge on the people responsible for her death. The Mantled Murphy finally regains her humanity and identity as Murphy.
Further instances of coincidences and possible ironies will be posted as I get time to post more.
