Thoughts on the name Brick?

[Names00]

Just heard it on TV, I quite like it? What could it be short for?

fortified

I swear it should be illegal for pregnant women to choose baby names. Op give your head a wobble and be grateful for MN!

Promise you'll come back and check before you go to register the birth!

I dunno I say go for it if you love it.

Immediately makes me think 'Brick loves lamp'

No really what you are after, I'd imagine.

Briquette is what you put on a barbecue and light. Surely not...

I've seen some bonkers names on MN in my time, but this is getting close to the top of them!

Pam is Welsh for "why"

Dire

Is your last name Shithouse?

Is there a character in Anchorman called Brick?

I don't like it, sorry.

Not even for a dog.
Sorry.

No.

Think again.,

I think the American boyfriend of the crazy sister in Outnumbered was called Brick. It's not a real name!

Brick is ugly. Except for when it's Paul Newman in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.

There was also a character in Hart of Dixie called Brick.

My DC's love it. In fact one of our chickens is named Brick. I think you can only get away with it if you live in the deep south in the US.

I think the American boyfriend of the crazy sister in Outnumbered was called Brick. It's not a real name!

Yes, I was just about to post this. Karen keeps asking him "but what's your real name?"

Don't do it op

Do you mean Breck? That's a boy's name.

Ridiculous and awful.

I do know of a child called Slate. That has a bit more of a ring to it. Brick is more of a dull thud.

Brick is definitely a name, but I think it's one of those American 'surname as a given name' ones, which makes it sound like a made up thing, especially as it's a noun (and a spectacularly dull one at that).

This is Brick from Anchorman. That's who I would associate it with.

Brick Shitt-House of the Arkensas Shitt-Houses?

from age 7+ he will be know as Prick
Just...don't.

I've heard of Flint, which is similar maybe but less... brick-like! I think maybe I don't like it because I don't think bricks are particularly lovely objects.
