Breckin?

[Allstoppedup]

Struggling to find a name for DS2, saw this today and really liked it. It seems to go nicely with DS1's slightly unusual name and I think Breck is a cute NN.

Can't see any particular negatives although I'm aware it won't be to everyone's tastes!

The only other I'm aware of is actor Breckin Meyer.

Just musing before putting it on the official 'list'.

Up here the chavs say breck for break, as in, I'll breck in his house.

Breckin wind etc.

[StormBraver]

I'd think you'd mispelled Brecon and you'd conceived during a camping trip in Wales! Sorry.

I know a Cornish man in his 40s called Brycchan pr Brick-un. He doesn't get abuse as far as I know!

I really like Bracken, it feels more substantial somehow, and won't have the play-on-words issues described by previous posts.

immediately thought "breckin necks" i think it opens your child up to a world of bullying more so than an 'average' name

Same as ludways.

I'm sorry but my first impression upon hearing that name was a chav parent in Asda screaming " Bracken, stop throwing food on the floor! "

[BreeVDKamp]

Breck sounds like somebody retching. Sorry!

Breckin Ball

Bracken is a popular name for a dog around here
Breckin is awful

[ZenNudist]

Awful and never heard of it.

Sounds like breaking. I'd expect jokes about him breaking things.

[sassytheFIRST]

As a midlander, sounds to me like a brummie planning a day out in the Beacons.

"Off to Breckin for the day, ar"

[ObsidianBlackbirdMcNight]

Terrible. Breck is just as bad. What about beck? Short for something or just on its own.

[AlmaMartyr]

I like it, thought of Breckin Meyer. I like Bracken too - I know a little girl called Bracken, very sweet. We liked Brock when I was pregnant with DC2. Didn't use it in the end.

[mummy0bummy]

Sorry OP, my first thought was "Beacons".

[User595994944]

My first thought was 'brickin' it'. Then breckin bad, breckin wind...etc. Breck does, indeed sound like someone retching. All round a big no. So many nice names to choose from.

[NoMontagues]

Sorry to add to the negativity but the nickname Breck...

What will happen when you're shooing him out the door?

"Ready Breck???"

[Glittery7]

There's your answers OP. Just don't.

[Allstoppedup]

Haha. There definitely seems to be a consensus.

It's largely why I posted! Ahh well back to the narrowly running out of time drawing board! Arrggghhhh. Stress!

[Cookie122]

What about Brock?

[LavenderLeigh]

You do know that Brock = Badger?

[Burnet]

Bracken or Brock would be better.

What's wrong with badgers?

[LavenderLeigh]

I ddnt say there was anything wrong with badgers. That is total projection on your part
Obviously it is perfect if you want to call your child after a woodland creature.
however, knowledge that Brock means Badger might change a persons perception of what they think is a nice sounding name.
