What do you think of brenda?

[kenandbarbie]

It's a family name I always hated and discounted, but I said it aloud today and it is growing on me. Thoughts?

It’s awful.

Hideous

It's just terrible, sorry.

Cute can use Brennie for short

No. Just no.

I don’t like Mondays is all I think of.

i think its cute!!

Ok if you’re naming a 70 year old.

Horrendous. Such a frumpy sounding name.

Terrible.

I know a 30 year old Brenda and it seems far too old fashioned for her, so I can’t imagine it on a toddler or teenager!

T'is the name of my mil

You have to be kidding .

A grumpy dinner lady who makes lumpy mash.

I think she holds her own on the purchase ledger team.

Middle name type name

I’m sorry but I think it’s bad. Okay for naming a chicken or some other wholesome but otherwise not hugely interesting animal but really not keen for a person.

A grumpy dinner lady who makes lumpy mash

But she does a lovely semolina.

Middle name type name

...that your classmates in secondary school find out about and then they decide to call you Brenda for all of 4th year.

Happened to a chap in my year whose mn was Ernest.

Brenda is one of the ugliest names I've ever heard, it's horrible.

Strangely, I like Brendan for a boy though.

What about Briony or Brianna? Is it too like Brian?

Brenda makes me think of brown tweed. No idea why. But it’s not a nice name

Nope nope nope! Just no.

Brenda - Brian - No

It's old fashioned but not in a good way, sorry.

Brenna?

no. but I think maybe names ending in da are stronger sounding that olivia amelia etc and are going to sound appealing soon. So I don't like Brenda but I get it, that sound is coming back. Rhoda, Zelda, Belinda.. this I can imagine.
