Awful, sorry

ApolloandDaphne · 06/03/2019 16:55

I like Brodie but the only two i know are both females.

Cason is terrible. I'm not even sure how to pronounce it. Cay-son or
C-ass-on?

poppet31 · 06/03/2019 16:51

Is Cason even a name? Brodie is okay but I wouldn't go with either as I prefer classic names that won't date.

icanthelpyou · 06/03/2019 16:45

No.

TatianaLarina · 06/03/2019 16:44

Broadly, Brodie is Scottish, Brody is Irish.

Jsmith99 · 06/03/2019 16:22

I’m fairly sure Brodie is the correct spelling. It’s OK, but it sounds very American which isn’t an issue if you’re American, of course.

Cason sounds made-up. The poor kid would be going through life saying “no, not Jason, Cason. No, not Mason either. C-a-s-o-n. Cason”.

AliceAforethought · 06/03/2019 16:15

*Cason!

My spellchecker has never heard of it either,

AliceAforethought · 06/03/2019 16:14

Never heard of Carson before... can’t say I like it, either.

Brodie if spelt like that is just about OK.

aquamarine1 · 06/03/2019 16:14

Brodie is a traditional Scottish name. Not American, not faddy etc etc etc.

BlueMerchant · 06/03/2019 16:07

I don't like them. At all.
Not sure you would like my suggestions but some I like are
Issac
Owen
Aiden
Luke
Oliver
Sonny
Adam

Cason is a new one on me. Did you make it up?

I quite like Brodie.

Loopytiles · 06/03/2019 16:04

Both are dire.

Littlefish · 06/03/2019 16:03

Neither.

calpop · 06/03/2019 16:02

I like surname names. I think Carson is better than Cason though. Brodie better that Brody but getting very common.

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 06/03/2019 16:00

Cason... 😂

Poor child will spend a lot of time saying "No, not Jason". For their entire life.

FiddleFaddleDingDong · 06/03/2019 15:51

I don't get the revulsion over surnames as first names. Brodie seems so inoffensive to me.

Brody if you must. Cason is awful.

GetRid · 06/03/2019 15:38

They're surnames!

And will sound very dated in ten years time

ReginaPhalange89 · 06/03/2019 15:34

Cason ? Never heard of it , immediately dislike it .

Brodie is ok but not my taste . Miles better than cason though

SileneOliveira · 06/03/2019 15:02

Brodie is OK. Brody isn't.

And "Cason" isn't a name.

RoseMartha · 06/03/2019 14:58

Neithet

PeterRabbitsBlueCoat · 06/03/2019 14:56

Both pretty awful!

RuthW · 06/03/2019 14:54

Both not to my taste. I think of bogie when I see Brody/Brodie.

HoldOnToHope · 06/03/2019 14:50

I love Brody, it's the top of my list of boys names! I prefer the "dy" spelling over the "die" spelling as well x
