Julie Murphy: My name is Julie Murphy. And as far as why I was named Julie, I was actually supposed to be Daniel. My mom and dad were expecting a boy and surprised to find out that I was indeed not born with that specific equipment, and so, actually, my name ended up being Julie. It was a last-minute decision and it's because it rhymes with my sister's name. We're not rhymes necessarily, but it sounds good with my sister's name, which is Jill. And so I always resented my sister a little bit because I felt like I was only named Julie because she was named Jill. But it does sound pretty good together when you're trying to yell at two girls at the end of the street to come home for dinner.
