Help[Opinions] Meade
I know a girl named Meade (she's 23ish), and I'd never heard it used as a first name before. I'm not a fan of the ln=fn thing at all, but for some reason I kind of like it. I wouldn't use it, but I just wondered what other people thought about it.
Also, I've been starting to like Bryn for a boy. Thoughts?

When my mom was growing up, she lived in a little town called Meade (Kansas) for a while. That's what I immediately think of, rather than "surname" or "alcohol". ;)
I dislike Meade as a first name, but if it had meaning for someone (e.g. it was a family surname) I think it would make a nice middle name in the right combo.

And if it's a boy, will he be Ale?

I like Meade. I think it's different but definitely has a 'normal' enough sound for someone to pull off.
I have a cousin Jenny Meade, so it probably appeals to me for sentimental reasons. I believe she was given it as a middle name because it was a close relative's surname. The association with her is also likely why I tend to think of it first as a female name.

It just makes me think of heavy beer. Not attractiive, and not feminine at all.

It's not great, IMHO. And not only is it a ln, but it's also an alcohol. lol
Bryn's nice. Looks very refreshing.

Meade isn't horrible, but I don't generally like food names, especially alcoholic drinks.

A bit too much...
...Like naming a kid Beere or Ginne to me. Meade might be a perfectly good surname, but as a first name, it sounds ridiculous to me. But then, I do come from a state relatively well known for alcohol. ;)
Bryn is one of those few names I see as really working on either sex. I like it on a boy a good deal--I used to have a male character by the name.
