Boy or girls name????

Smilehappy · 27/05/2013 12:20

Oh and I both like Brodie/Brody... Upon telling people we "like" that name they say its a girls name (were having a boy)

Opinions?

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Neither. It's a surname to me.

SavoyCabbage · 28/05/2013 13:09

There's a few male Brodies in dd's school, no Brodys. It's quite popular here (Australia).

But I wasn't asking if you liked it... Just if people thought it was a girls or boys name....

If everyone just stuck to the question at hand I wouldn't become so defensive but yes it is personal and I feel your comment was negative and unwanted...

This place never fails to amaze me.

As always in cases as personal as naming ones offspring, the best course of action is to keep it to oneself in case of alternative views.

Opinions regarding if you think it's a boy or girls name.... Typical mumsnet you always get the negative bitch... Or two..... JOY.

We do not wish to accept people on here's likes or dislikes to the name itself as that is not what the question was...

So there YOU go

Only know male Brody in RL and off telly - Brody Jenner

Eskino · 28/05/2013 09:28

Ummm. I see you asked for opinions in your original post.

But not negative ones.

O. K.

Btw I think its awful too. There you go.

Raeray · 28/05/2013 09:22

I think boy (homeland character - think his surname but they call him by it!).
Bronte or Bridie similar for a girl

noxius · 28/05/2013 01:51

Either spelling for either sex

noxius · 28/05/2013 01:51

I'd guess boy, but it could definitely be either, and unisex names are a good thing, at least I think so.

MineOrk · 28/05/2013 00:42

It is unisex. I know one of each, both spelt the same (ie).

Onesleep your opinion was unwanted go be a bitch else where

OP posts:

LynetteScavo · 27/05/2013 23:03

It's a boys name.

Onesleeptillwembley · 27/05/2013 23:01

I wasn't even aware it's a name. It truly is awful.

ShadowStorm · 27/05/2013 22:57

It sounds more like a boys name to me. But I wouldn't be entirely sure either way.

MoonHare · 27/05/2013 22:55

Or maybe that was Brady.......

MoonHare · 27/05/2013 22:55

I definitely think of it as a boys name.

Think it was the name of Miranda's son in SATC.

iheartmycat · 27/05/2013 22:52

Brodie is a boys name - and means 'second son'

AllegraLilac · 27/05/2013 21:47

I'd go Brody for a boy (As in Jenner), and Bridie as a girly option.

BNmum · 27/05/2013 21:02

Boy

Mellymog · 27/05/2013 20:59

boy - Patrick Swayze's character in point break?

laravh · 27/05/2013 20:42

I live it for a girl (spelt Brodie) - there was a female character in Home and Awayages ago and I've loved it since. But I also know a Scottish family with a son called Brody and apparently it means brother.
Love it for either

DessieLou · 27/05/2013 19:40

I'd presume it was a boy too. I know a boy called Brodie but prefer Brody.

lovemybabyboy · 27/05/2013 19:11

Sounds like a boys name to me.

Thanks everyone, we won't be saying any more to family, I find it very rude for someone to share their dislike about your thought-about / chosen child's name...

And to be told its a strippers name is unbelievable!

My sister told me just to wait until baby is here and TELL them his name that way they don't get an opinion/option!
