Not good I think. Its sounds are nice enough but so strongly associated with 60-80 year olds that it doesn't work for me for a little one. And I'm very open to the idea of formerly dated names coming back - but this one doesn't work for me.

I used to live Brian Cant.

Brian is my Dad's name. If I had a DS which i don't I wouldn't have called him Brian. There's no way

Looks too much like Brain to me. Makes me feel a bit yucky

Why on earth would you post the same thread again? Confused

I'm Brian and so's my wife. Can't beat a New Year's Eve Brian thread!

There are a lot of names I dislike more.

I am neutral about the name.

@DonnaHaroldson... it was your thread?? Confused

I know 2 toddler Brians! Both American though.

Great name if you come from Hull. Xmas Wink

Not keen, sorry.

Krazynights34 · 31/12/2019 23:16

Ah I have a brother called Brian. It’s good

2ndtimer30 · 31/12/2019 23:15

Apparently there were 91 Brians born in 2018. Which seems surprisingly high.

TripleSeptic · 31/12/2019 23:11

I love this name. There was a thread about it recently

DramaAlpaca · 31/12/2019 23:10

No. Not good.

There was a recent thread on this name if you search for it.

pallisers · 31/12/2019 23:09

No, to be perfectly honest.
