Just watched a horror film "the boy"

The creepy man doll character child thing is called Brahms.....(bramsey) aa a nickname.

I think its really cute! Could anyone nane their child a name associated with a horror film?

It would depend. Brahms doesn't immediately conjure up images of a horror film.
If my surname was Kruger or Voorhies though, I wouldn't be calling my child Freddie or Jason!

Brahms is a composer.
Do you like his music? People will expect you to, if you name your child after him.

Yeah, don't go for Chucky. It didn't even work in the rugrats

Ilikewinetoomuch · 26/04/2016 00:13

I'm googling all associations with Brahms....

But yes composer never thought!

My dd is called Amberley and I think the names kinda compliment each other xx

A name from a well-known horror film is on my shortlist but I'm not sharing it here because I don't want anyone to nick it!

DerelictMyBalls · 26/04/2016 10:43

Brahms is brilliant, by the way.

How many people called Jonny get to to do a Shining impression? Also never met anyone called Annabelle and immediately thought of the doll, same with Carrie and their names are the titles. Brahms I would automatically think composer.

Gummibaers · 26/04/2016 11:49

Johannes Brahms here too.

So a good association imo, I like his music Smile.

MTPurse · 26/04/2016 11:51

I have a Jason, does that count?

Ilikewinetoomuch · 28/04/2016 22:34

Don't hear so many Pinheads being called from the bagel aisle in Waitrose these days.

DerelictMyBalls · 02/05/2016 09:34

Ah, thanks for the reminder, PelvicFloor

NeedAGrip · 02/05/2016 09:39

I would think of the composer if I heard Brahms.

CutYourHairAndGetAJob · 02/05/2016 09:48

Rosemary

SanityClause · 02/05/2016 09:51

Brahms is also Cockney rhyming slang for drunk.

Brahms and Liszt - pissed.

MyBreadIsEggy · 02/05/2016 09:57

My parents were going to call me Damian if I was a boy Hmm

I would also think of the composer if heard the name Brahms!

JeanGenie23 · 02/05/2016 10:00

Damien is the only horror name that really sticks for me.

I saw the conjuring recently which had an Annabelle in it but that's a popular enough name to not be tied to the film.

Same goes for Carrie, Jason, Freddie, Rosemary.

I think Chucky is a no no regardless of the films!

Mclaren37 · 03/05/2016 03:10

I quite like Brahms. Definitely made the composer connection and not the horror film connection though. If you're not keen on that then I saw another thread in here asking about the name Abraham nn. Bram. That's nice too? A slightly less unusual name and Bram also sounds good with Amberley?

Ilikewinetoomuch · 03/05/2016 04:16

Haha well my friend has called her boy lucious....my dp keeps calling him lucifer
