DS wanted to call our labrador Brian, we said NO.

NO NO NO NO NO.

I had a house rabbit called Brian. He was cool. Chewed everything to bits, though...

Why not Nigel?

It's one of those names that I can never see coming back into vogue though along with Trevor and Geoffrey.

My grandad is a Brian. Maybe that's why I think of bald old men? Whatever. It's vile.

Just not retro enough to be cool yet- give it a decade maybe.

That's cruel

Brian = male pattern baldness

Sweet for a little boy (and fine for a grown-up too)

sunshineday · 25/03/2009 14:00

I really like this name

StealthPolarBear · 25/03/2009 13:56

I'm really sorry if you like this but please don't use it. It just reminds me of salty water.

LOL - it's my dad's name, I think my dm was miffed I didn't use it as a middle name for my ds.

My mother used to occasionally spell it Bryan in cards and stuff to look posh.
