Thoughts on the name Brick?

[Names00]

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

Paul Newman played Brick in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, one of my favourite films. But I think Americans can carry that kind of name off better than Brits...

I know a Breck if that helps

I've gone all wibbly remembering Paul Newman in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof

..... And it rhymes with prick!

As in Samantha, she of divine beauty? Lol. No.

You could get away with Brock, maybe...

I quite liked lintel.

Does anyone else remember the Shadwell poem about a brick? It went something like...adopts string Welsh accent
'Hello brick, what have you been doing today?'
'We'll nothing, I'm a brick aren't I?'
'Oh...Yes.'

That's what I'd think of. I may be in a minority of one though.

No. Just, no. And it's perilously close to Brock Whathisface, who got pretty much let off from rape because he was a posh white athlete.

I used to know a boy called Brick, short for Brychan which is a Welsh boys name.

He wasn't teased about his name as much as you'd think!

Yeah. Nice solid name!!

I like The Middle a lot, but I thought the joke was that they've pretty much lost interest by the time third child Brick comes along, hence the 'taken for granted' daft name. It screams 'not really bothered'.

Were you watching Outnumbered?

When I was a student we elected an actual brick President of the Union. His slogan was "Vote Brick- safe as houses"
Ridiculous name, by the way.

Oh it's fantastic and so original. You will be congratulated on giving your child a name that definitely isn't in the top 10.

No not really, don't be so fucking ridiculous!

But I think Americans can carry that kind of name off better than Brits...

Hmm, no. You wouldn't want to be a Brit Brick.

I remember watching that show and liking both Brick and Axel. I wouldn't use either of them IRK but I did like them- in the end used a name similar to Axl!

Beautiful Baby Brick...such a sweet name

Hi, I'm Brick Tamland. People seem to like me because I am polite, and rarely late.

I KILLED A GUY WITH A TRIDENT!

I would like to extend to you an invitation to the pants party.

I've now read the word brick so many times its lost all meaning, so at the moment it seems a perfectly reasonable name to me.
