Brodie. It's very popular In America I think plus it's a nice name.

LiviaBC · 10/02/2017 15:51

Brodie, so strong and masculine.

zukiecat · 08/02/2017 19:28

Mind you the only Brodie I know is a girl

NE Scotland if that makes a difference

avaj · 07/02/2017 21:10

I really like Brodie. Sounds nice for a baby as well as an adult.

Kazzawazza69 · 07/02/2017 20:58

Dylan - but I'm biased because that's my boy's name 😊

crocodarl · 07/02/2017 20:55

I've got a Dylan. He's ace. But my best friend from childhood has a Brodie and he's ace too. They have very similar interests... at present there's not much to choose between them. So tbh, I think you're good either way. I'd go with whatever matches best with the surname.

Dylan by a mile! I really don't like the name Brodie - sorry!

zukiecat · 07/02/2017 12:13

Brodie

I don't like Dylan at all, sorry

Whathaveilost · 07/02/2017 09:33

Either!
Both nice.
Maybe wait unril the baby is born and go with which one you think suits best.

17caterpillars1mouse · 07/02/2017 09:20

Brody Dillon would be my choice

GreatScot8 · 06/02/2017 23:33

Dylan.

But I'm not a fan of either.

Brodie is outdated to me, because the Brodys (this spelling) I know are all in their 20s. I put it in the same category as Brandon, Brendan, Bradley etc.

I don't like Dylan because it gets shortened to Dyl (like dill - ie a stupid person).

llangennith · 06/02/2017 23:04

That'd be Dylans without an apostrophe autocorrect!

llangennith · 06/02/2017 23:03

Far too many Dylan's at the moment.

NinaMarieP · 06/02/2017 22:53

We are thinking of Brodie (or Brody) for our baby. It's a traditional Scottish name (and we are Scottish). People took the name after an area called Brodie (and there's a Castle Brodie still standing). It means either ditch or fortified wall which sounds better! I don't know a single Brodie or Brody, nor have I heard of any but it may be much more popular in other parts of the country.
Saying all that I suggested it after Chief Brody in Jaws (rather jokingly) as that's our favourite film.

I wouldn't have put Dylan on my list as we're wanting to stick with something traditionally Scottish but it's a nice name.

Go with either. Or have one as a middle name?

Brodie is extraordinary popular in the states.
I'm hearing it here on a regular basis now.
Unfortunately, the only owners of this name ( that l know) are badly behaved.
I have a child with a name scorend on MN - but l chose it before the spelling became mutilated & another letter added! ;)

Highalert · 05/02/2017 08:01

Maybe it's popular because not everyone thinks like you?

Justfred · 05/02/2017 07:50

Dylan

Notagain2017 · 05/02/2017 06:28

Never heard of Brodie. Dylan for me.

Motherfuckers · 05/02/2017 06:24

How is Brodie so popular?? It sounds like a cross between bogey and grody, such horrible connotations.

babyapril · 05/02/2017 05:42

Dylan. Brodie is so , so popular!
Do you like any other names?

Dolwar · 05/02/2017 05:40

Dylan all the way. A friend called her son Brodie. I looked it up at the time and I'm pretty sure it means 'ditch'. Hmm

Deadsouls · 05/02/2017 04:47

Dylan

mum2be2boys · 05/02/2017 04:46

Dylan

Sophronia · 05/02/2017 00:50

Brodie

OvariesBeforeBrovaries · 04/02/2017 23:13

Ooh I like both. Around here Dylan is very very popular so I'd go for Brodie.
