Help[Opinions] Re: Branwell (ETA)
in reply to a message by Ozma
I agree. It is cool, in a snooty sort of way. And it's a GP of mine.
I feel guilty about it because it was a family surname for the Brontes (or should I say Bruntys?). It had meaning for them. There are some surnames that I don't mind using for their role model sake, like Emmet (Irish patriot) / Emmett (Emmett Till). But Branwell, poor soul, didn't do anything role modely except be a brother to some darn good writers. ETA: Although I've suspected that he's the inspiration for "The Graduate" and the character of Mrs. Robinson. Am I way off in that?
But yeah. Still a cool name.
