What do you think of...

[flutteronbynow]

Brody or Brodie?
It's the only one we have any agreement on...but what does it make you think of? Really don't want a name that will date or be 'of its time'. Thanks.

The man who defeated Bruce the shark in Jaws.

He was cool. Brave, smart, looked after his children.

Good name.

Brody from Homeland

I like Brody, sounds surfer-ish.

I'm not particularly keen

To my ears it sounds quite American and a bit faddish

I'm not a fan of surnames as first names either

Brody Jenner.

Love it. Prefer Brodie but either is good.

Makes me think of an Australian surfer dude type.
There was a girl called Brody on Home and Away I think.

Yes, Queen of Wands!! It's Chief Brody from Jaws - that's where (after MONTHS) of disagreeing on names we both had a eureka moment of agreement!

Realy like Brodie !
Sounds like the protagonist in a kids book to me but still think it would be good for an adult

Not quite so keen on Brody spelling though but not sure why

Brody.

But I don't like it. It's very Californian surfer sounding. He'd have a brother named Jackson.

It's Gaelic in origin...although I agree, it does have an American or Aussie surfer dude vibe...

I like it but I've only met a girl called Brodie, so to me it's a girl's name.

I think American

To me it's mainly an Irish surname. I'm not mad on surnames as first names in general, but I don't mind Brody. It does have a bit of a surfer dude vibe to it as well, which I quite like.

Brodie. It's a gorgeous name. Only met one and he was a fab little boy.

Brody for a boy. Brodie for a girl

Not a fan. The Brody I know has a brother called Kai.

Hilarious people are thinking California surfer dude for Brodie - it’s a Scottish surname, an old Highland clan! As in Muriel Spark’s ‘The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie’

What FrancisCrawford said. Sorry.

Man with several wives (polygamist, not divorced). That’s just what this name made me think of. But I don’t know why...? Probably some weird association / something I once read...?

Brodie.

I think one of caitlyn jenners boys is called brody and I hate myself for knowing that. I like surnames as first names but doesn't tend to go down well on mn

I like Brodie. I think of it as Scottish rather than American.

Brodie is the name of a castle in north east Scotland. Not American in the slightest. I like it but it is traditionally a surname.
