What can Bran be short for?

[Radish9]

Hi everyone. We're expecting our 3rd baby in the new year, and are struggling with names big time. My DH considers my suggestions silly, and I think his are boring!
He vaguely suggested Brandon; we both like Bran (and have read the Game of Thrones books!) but Brandon feels a bit 'Jayden' to me. Can anyone suggest another name that can shorten to Bran? I know it can be used as a name in its own right, but it feels unfinished to me.
Many thanks!

Another vote for Branigan/Branagan

Branwell was Charlotte Bronte's brother's name, (painter and poet) - although am sure you have stumbled upon that fact online, so it is actually quite a classy, literary name. I like it, but then I like bold name choices! We live in London and it is v cosmopolitan in our area, so you can pretty much get away with anything, without sounding weird! We are going for a bold one too for our son, and have decided to ignore all the neg stuff that i have read on the forums - nearly every name someone asks about, people have bad commetns to make, so have decided to stick to my guns on ours. Have fun deciding! :)

I think it's a lifetime of "No, not Brian, BRAN, like the cereal"

Having said that, I quite like it!

Thank you everyone for your comments and suggestions! It seems the mumsnet opinion matches my own - thinks Bran is cool most of the time but can't quite shake the reference to breakfast cereal!

I have read the GOT books as well and think its quite a cool name - but as you say, it will forever be associated with breakfast cereal!

Branston - could be Branston pickle

Love the name Bran. Brandon is okay but may have 'naughty boy' issues in some places, maybe. Love Branwell.

You might like Bram (Abraham) too.
