Help[Opinions] Re: Brianna and Brandon
in reply to a message by A
I like Brianna but it's dropped out of the top hundred, so this baby will have a name that's already dated by the time she's a teenager. (And sound-alike Briana has dropped even further.) I have a name like that myself, and my name was still #41 the year I was born. But it had already started its downswing, so by the time I was a teenager it was a name that few were bestowing on newborn babies any longer. Brianna will be even more so. Anyway, it's not a big deal, but it's a little sucky to know when you're still that young that nobody likes your name any longer, lol.
I hate Brandon for the same reason I hate Melissa, with a gender switch. Melissa tries too hard to be oh-so-pwetty. Brandon tries too hard to be oh-so-ruggedly-masculine.
As a sibset it's somewhat pukey-matchey, with both names starting with BR, and then featuring the N sound heavily. Yeah, okay, it makes sense that someone who likes Brandon would like Brianna for that reason, even though I'm an exception to that. Still, try to branch out.

That's funny, I always have heard Brandon as a somewhat softer name, not rugged at all.

I guess you wouldn't agree with this comment I made about it on 4/25/2012, LOL:
I hate this name with a passion. It tries way too hard to be oh-so-ruggedly handsome and masculine. It just hits you over the head with it. "Hello, my name is Brandon. I'm just riding into town on my prancing and pawing stallion from a long day of rounding up the dogies. I have rugged chiseled features, a few days' growth of beard, a cigarette rakishly hanging out of my mouth, a body hardened by hours in the saddle, and my cowboy hat dangling over my eyes in an intriguing fashion. Just gonna swing myself down from the saddle now. Stand back, ladies! My name is Brandon!"
