--Murmur is another word that you will find on many people's most beautiful words list--

Really??? I've never liked the word. Its sound reminds me of a mosquito buzzing around your ears that you just can't get rid of. mer mer

Are you sure you are not thinking about whisper, which is a softer word that can mean the same thing?

I think we've had a link to a 'most beautiful word' site in the past? Does anybody remember it?

I'm not sure I've ever found a word ugly. There are some I don't like ("usage" as an example). Let me think on it a bit.
