Thoughts on the name brandy for my DD. I torn between that and Eden!

chunkyrun that was my first thought! I used to love ‘the boy is mine’. I might go and have a little play on Spotify now actually!

Eden Brandi (spelt for your Grandad) works well.

NotYourDawg · 22/07/2020 18:26

Brandy is a horse's name.

saltycat · 22/07/2020 18:25

Back on topic. Eden definitely, Brandy no, unless it is in a glass.

saltycat · 22/07/2020 18:25

Scots Gaelic apologies.

Love it.

If you are not strong you have to be clever! Like the fox.

So sorry to take things off topic. Hope I will be forgiven.

That's Irish Gaelic, but it is more or less the same as Scots Gallic.

SionnachRua · 22/07/2020 18:09

Yep that is it @saltycat ! I've run into a sionnachglic (clever fox) on here as well.

LynetteScavo · 22/07/2020 18:05

Limoncello or Negroni.

Or Eden.

daisypond · 22/07/2020 18:00

No, definitely not. Eden is better.

netflixismysidehustle · 22/07/2020 17:59

Eden is gorgeous
Naming your child after alcohol drinks - Chardonnay, Brandy Etc is considered very chavvy in the UK

I think your name means Red Fox. I love it! If I am right.

ChockyBicky · 22/07/2020 17:49

Brandy sounds like an American woman who'd be on the Jerry Springer show to me.

Fluffycloudland77 · 22/07/2020 17:47

It’s a stripper or pet name.

bengalcat · 22/07/2020 17:47

Going against the grain here - I like both .

Alonelonelyloner · 22/07/2020 17:45

If you're in the UK or US avoid. It's basically a porn name of some kind. Just awful.

Eden is also a bit chavvy (sorry) but is still much better.

NoMoreFlowers · 22/07/2020 17:44

It's ok for a dog or a stripper. Not keen on Eden either

GU24Mum · 22/07/2020 17:42

Could you use it as a middle name - and I'd keep the Italian spelling too. Not as a middle name for Eden though - they don't really go unless you put something else in between - Eden Emily Brandi Jones for example.

Stripper or dog name.

Cam2020 · 22/07/2020 17:39

Stripper name - sorry! I love Eden though.

junebug87 · 22/07/2020 17:37

Brandy = awful

Eden is a nice name, but increasingly popular.

Grobagsforever · 22/07/2020 17:35

Stripper name, sorry!

Bunnymumy · 22/07/2020 17:33

I'm going against the grain here, I love it. For a girl. It's fun. Eden sounds like she would be a bit stuck up.

iklboo · 22/07/2020 17:32

Not popular or well received in the U.K. (I know, I know) even with the lovely back story. Is there another way you could honour DH's grandfather?

Eden is lovely though.

God no!
