Brogan - boys name or girls name?!

I've come across the name Brogan, which I like for a boy, but I've seen it used a lot for a girl, and I know a few girls with the names, but no boys.

Around when I was born, it was apparently a lot more popular for girls (165 girls vs 34 boys), but last year, it was much more popular for boys (58 boys vs 16 girls).

Should I add it to my boys list, even though the Brogans my age are girls? Or should I let it go? Confused

I know a girl Brogan. And it's awful and ugly IMO - sorry :(

It is absolutely horrible for either sex.

And yes, I would hope he/never wants to go to Australia. 'Bogan' = 'Chav'. Shock

neither, sorry. Brody? or Logan?

It's not nice to say it's ugly, awful or horrible. If you don't like it just say you don't like it as others have here. I think it's great for a boy and ok for a girl.

It sounds like something teenagers call their friends as a stupid bro joke. Like

"sup broseph"
"yooo bromepheus"
"how's it going brosama bin laden?"
"later broprah winfrey"
"peace, brogan"

MrsFoxPlus4 · 21/12/2018 14:37

Oh great, thanks Rissto you got me posting on a zombie thread.

I've never heard it as a name. I've only heard of bogan which is apparently a chav in Australia and Brogan reminds me of that

Belindabauer · 21/12/2018 16:45

I think it suits both but agree it does sound masculine.

percheron67 · 21/12/2018 22:54

Neither. It is a surname.

Shadow1234 · 22/12/2018 03:49

I know a young boy named Brogan, and whilst it has been used for boys and girls, I do think it sounds more masculine.

I know a few girls called Brogan so definitely a girls name to me sorry
