lol Brantley
There's one of those horrible "gated communities" called the BRANTLEY near where I live, and every time we pass by it my mother and sister and I start to have a conversation like this
"Would you like to visit the Brantley today?"
"It's very nice. Our houses all look the same at the Braaantley."
"Yes, and our farts don't smell here at the Braaantley either."
"As a matter of fact, here at the Braaantley, we do not fart."
"That is a plebian thing to do."
"We do not have buttholes here at the Braaaantley."
"No, such a thing as that is unheard of here!"
"Our dogs are all small and puffy."
"And all of our trees and lawns are plastic."
"And our lawn is made of shaved money. Here at the Braaantley we do not have something so atrocious as dirt."
On and on and on. We have so much fun at the expense of those poor (and presumably horrible, rich, white, pretentious, Escalade-driving) people (morons) at the Brantley.
It's more or less the worst name ever except maybe Braxton.

LOL! too funny [m]
Haha, funny you should mention Braxton because I know one of those as well - I just helped him move in this past weekend ;P
I agree about the names, though. Pretty horrible.

OMG!
There's an episode of Scrubs where Dr. Cox, Jordan, and their baby are sitting in the park, and some lady comes up to them who also has a kid...
Mother: Hi, cutie! Since you have so many balls, and too many toys can be over-stimulating for an infant, Brantley here was wondering if he could borrow one to play with!
Cox: Oh, that's funny, because Jack here was just wondering why the crazy lady who just spent the last hour chain smoking and talking on her cell phone while her kid ate sand would come over to two complete strangers and give them parenting advice!
Jordan: Oh, oh! He also thanked me for not naming him "Brantley"!
Lmao.

Other than sounding pretentious, it reminds me of this quote from Scrubs:
[a woman with her son comes over to Dr. Cox and Jordan and starts talking to their son, Jack]
Woman: Hi, Cutie! Since you have so many balls, and too many toys can be overstimulating for an infant, Brantley here was wondering if he could borrow one to play with.

Jordan: Oh, he also thanked me for not naming him Brantley.
Dr. Cox: Yeah.
I think someone here has this as their sig, but I'm not sure.

Brantley is a surname in use in the Southern USA, so as a girl's first name this qualifies as a "preppy" use of a family name, which is not at all uncommon in Virginia.

Absolutely awful
So very unfeminine.
No feminine nns either.

I agree; my reaction is "ick."
I'd even avoid saying her name to her face. It'd make me uncomfortable.

Weird. It's like a smush of two last names (Brant and Lee, of course). To me, Brant is a dorm building at my lovely camp and Lee is "Here a Lee, there a Lee, everywhere a Lee, a Lee..." so they mix strangely.
Would hate it enough on a boy. On a girl it's simply awful.

Ew.
When I saw your post I really thought it was going to be a boy's name. Like Branson. I guess I really don't like the rant sound.

Yeah - the prof called out the name as he was taking roll and I though 'boy' ... but this petite little brown-haired girl in the back of the class, with a really high-pitched [almost annoying] voice answered. I was shocked.
