Breckin?

Struggling to find a name for DS2, saw this today and really liked it. It seems to go nicely with DS1's slightly unusual name and I think Breck is a cute NN.

Can't see any particular negatives although I'm aware it won't be to everyone's tastes! Grin

The only other I'm aware of is actor Breckin Meyer.

Just musing before putting it on the official 'list'.

Where I come from there'd be a 'bad' added to that before you'd got him out the hospital!

Sounds like Bracken....if he was in my class I'd be accidentally calling him Bracken all the time! Blush

I don't have strong feelings on the name one way or another op. Tis grand.

Hmm, I guess there is that association- DP and I seem to be the only people in the world that thought it rubbish and gave up on it so didn't think of that!

I'd doubt as a pop culture reference it will last long enough to make a significant impact on DS2s life though. I could be wrong and he might forever curse us or it could be a guarantee he'd stay away from the Meth lab!Grin

It sounds like "break in" as in break into someone's house... It's awful IMO.

I love it! Strong and different without being too "out there".

I like most names, especially unique ones: this is lovely. I do agree with fluffy though - that was my first thought too.

His nicknames at school will be burglary/bad/shattered/thief/rocks/glass/trespass etc. Absolutely awful IMO.

Awful. Sorry but it sounds made up and definitely not a name.

The skater dude from Clueless is a Breckin I think. It sounds like an American's idea of a fancy English name.

Instantly thought of Breckin Meyer, I fucking love him. Not overly keen on the name though I like the "feel" of it iyswim.

Breckin wind?

You'd be setting the poor child up for a lifetime of teasing. Don't do it.

Yorkshire slang for breaking.
e.g 'you will end up breckin your ankle if you go out in them shoes'

It's a mis spelled version of Brecon for me. I don't like it at all sorry.
