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?

I watched The Boy the other night, kept waking OH up at all the jumpy bits! I kinda like Brahms, it's posh AND cool. Grin

Bram (short for Abraham) is a little less 'out there' but not sure if Amberley and Abraham are a bit too matchy-matchy.

Outing myself but it was my dogs name!, it was a little pretentious to call in the park but that was 20 years ago.

It is a really good name.

Brahms is a great name unless you are a cockney or live in that area of London.
Otherwise go for it :-)

I really like the name Jennet for a girl, - it's the dead mother in the 'Woman in Black' and although I have since found out it is an old name, I've never heard it in any other context, so I'm not sure if I would use it or not (helpful)

I would assume that you were a big classical music fan.

I think I'd find Amberly and Brahms hard to say together though (double am sounds) but that may depend on accent.

I named my first born out of a Stephen King film.

I wanted to name my last born malaki from children of the corn and was vetoed strongly Grin it's a shame because it would have suited him.

brahms and liszt

I love the name Jennet too, the only other context I've heard it in is as the name of one of the Pendle Witches put on trial in Lancashire in the 1600s.

Brahms makes me think of the composer, but I don't watch horror films.

I'd feel weird telling my child that I named him/her after a film like that. But that's probably just me...

I love the name Elise never heard of it until I watched insidious. Wish I called my daughter it.
