Bailey.

Cheerybigbottom · 25/10/2016 15:41

Bradley

MuttsNutts · 25/10/2016 15:43

Please only use Bailey if he is a labrador.

Thundercake · 25/10/2016 15:45

Bailey is kinda cool and modern but a wee bit girly. I think Bradley is a weird name (no idea why) but actually really like Brad. If you like Mason you might like Cooper, Tyler, Jayden.

neither, both are pretty bad.

MissPattie · 25/10/2016 15:48

Neither

Chinlo · 25/10/2016 16:05

Bradley.

Only because Bailey is a surname and more often a dog's name.

KoalaDownUnder · 25/10/2016 16:09

Bailey.

I don't care if it's a dog's name, Bradley takes me back to 1982 (in a bad way).

Pontoufle · 25/10/2016 16:15

Bailey is a surname... So I guess I'd go for Bradley

Sophronia · 25/10/2016 16:17

Neither, but Bradley if I really had to choose

AnnetteKertan · 25/10/2016 17:09

Bradley

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 25/10/2016 18:32

Definitely Bradley.

ThisPasadenaHomemaker · 25/10/2016 18:33

Dislike both.

What about Brodie? Has a similar feel to Bailey but cooler imo.

AuntieStella · 25/10/2016 18:34

Bradley

MotherDuckSaid · 25/10/2016 18:50

Bradley is an Awful name!

OhFuds · 25/10/2016 18:52

I was going to suggest Brodie too. I'm not keen on the other 2 names.

Lilly948204 · 25/10/2016 18:53

I'm a teacher, loads of Bailey's in school. No Bradley's if that makes any difference.

I know no recent Bradley but one Baylee. I prefer Bradley.

TheresAlwaysTimeForTea · 25/10/2016 19:18

Our Labrador is called Bailey so it would be Bradley for me although I don't like that name tbh

Bertucci · 25/10/2016 19:19

Neither.

cantstopeatingtoday · 25/10/2016 19:22

Bailey sounds cheap

god I sound like my mother Hmm

But it does!

sohackedoff · 25/10/2016 19:24

Don't like either.

BadToTheBone · 25/10/2016 19:30

Don't like either but Bradley is infinitely better than Bailey. Always thinks of Bay Leaf, so if your surname is F in particular avoid avoid avoid.

clary · 25/10/2016 19:30

I'm a teacher and have quite a few of both. Got a Baillie whom I assumed was a boy but it"s a girl so it seems to be unisex if you mind that.
