If we love this, what else might we like

[Xando]

DH & I both adore the name Brody for our little boy due very soon. Everyone we've spoken to says it's not a bad name, it's just very Hollywood. I'm trying to think if we both love this name, what other names we may like?

Brody is American but not commonly used (I'm American and Canadian). My friend has a DS here named Brodie (she's of Scottish descent) but he's nearly five and we've never met another yet.

I'd say go with Brodie. It's not too American. You love it.

Names can still be Irish even if they're not spelt in Irish.

Kelly is one of the most common Irish surnames there is. Has a K and a Y.

Lovely name

Yes, surname.

I love this name💙

What about:
Bodhi💙
Bryce💙
Baxter💙
Baxton💙

Ah but Quintella, Kelly was once O' Ceallaigh till it was Anglisized

It was indeed, but that doesn't make Kelly any less Irish. If things being written and spoken in the Irish language is a requirement for authenticity that rules out the vast majority of Irish people!

I love Brodie and don't think it sounds American at all. What about brogan?

I really like it but I think I prefer the Brodie spelling

I hate the name but it wouldn’t matter what you liked someone would hate it - my daughter has a name that a few didn’t like & it did rock my confidence a little but she’s 4 & it’s a beautiful name that she & I both love & I’m glad I had the guts to go with it

Go with the name you like, don’t listen to anyone else as it isn’t their baby
