I believe it's MUR-a-kha. At least that's how I say it. :)

I'm not exactly sure how to pronounce the whole name. But I can say that usually the "h" before a "d" silences the "d." Example: Tadhg = "tie + g"

(By the way, I came up with some mns for your Arabic list from last night that you might not notice because it's far down the list by now.)

I think, correct me if I'm wrong, it would be pronounced MUR-a-kha. The ch in all Gaelic names is pronounced as in the Scottish Loch. If you can't pronounce kh, the nearest would probably be MUR-a-ha, rather than a hard k sound.
I prefer Murphy, it's a lot easier and nicer to say!
