Buster Murdaugh was born Richard Alexander Murdaugh in April 1993. His great-grandfather, Randolph Murdaugh, Jr. (b.1915, d.1998), also went by the nickname Buster. Buster is the elder son of Alex Murdaugh, who infamously murdered his wife, Maggie, and younger son, Paul, in June 2021.
As someone named Buster, it’s honestly funny seeing all the comments about my name. I don’t get why everyone says this name is so bad though, everyone I’ve met said either “oh cool!”, “Buster Posey?” Or “Really?”. I don’t know I guess it’s all up to preference.
Buster is Darby's pet puppy in My Friends Tigger & Pooh.

I watched Arthur a lot when I was younger, so now when I hear this name I think of Arthur. And it DOES sound like a rabbit name! Whoever said that it was for dogs…?P.S I would only use this name as a nickname for a human. Don’t see how it would work as an actual name.
I hate this name so much! Even bad for a pet! DON'T and I mean DON'T USE THIS NAME AT ALL! Use Rufus for a human instead, that's better than this horrible, nasty, obnoxious, babyish, mean name!
I think it is a mistake to say this name comes from one who breaks things. It is my understanding it is derived from a child’s mispronunciation of the word, “brother.” So it is therefore similar to other nicknames like “Sissy” or “Bubba.“
Chris Wolstenholme's (Bassist) youngest son is called Buster. I don't know if it's his real name or a nickname, though.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Buster Brown! Buster Brown was a very popular comic strip character of the 1900s. He is a very mischievous little boy who is always making resolutions to be good that he never keeps.

Buster ROCKS! Wait til you meet my Buster--and we'll see who can't be taken seriously.
Though silent film comedian Buster Keaton was a famous bearer, his real name was Joseph Frank Keaton. Supposedly, he got his nickname and later stage name from Harry Houdini when he was a child. This name isn't good for an actual name, and sounds more like the name of dog.
Buster Bluth was the youngest, developmentally delayed child of George and Lucille Bluth in the popular American television programme 'Arrested Development.'
Sounds like a good name for a dog or a rabbit (the latter probably due to Buster Bunny), but it sounds ridiculous on a person. It makes me think of thugs.
