• Support Britannica and to keep the name at the source. --Foroa (talk) 19:17, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
  • Google scholar search seems to indicate 6 times more Mur than Mura. For overal naming consistency, I think that it should be renamed to "Mur (river)". --Foroa (talk) 21:00, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
    • I tend to prefer Mur River, although I'm not familiar with the conventions regarding Austrian rivers. The relevant naming convention is here. Jafeluv (talk) 11:37, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
