Would it put you off

If a baby name was quite American? Two British parents.

Does anybody care these days ? You can pretty much call them anything now !

Everyone just keeps saying it's too American! It's making me doubt myself

Is it Cody?

I think you're going to have to say what the name is.

Is it Brianna?

Brody

@User122847383 never heard of an American boy called Brody, there is one on Hollyoaks though 😁

I know a 10 year old Brody and a younger 5 year old

It’s creeping in and a lovely name

You should never tell the name before the baby arrives!! Tell them you’ve changed it to Bob and them surprise them on the day

I like it myself. Go for it I say

I'm in Scotland and there are loads of Brodies. It's a lovely name

Brodie/Brody is the most common boys name in my area of NE Scotland.

I've worked with kids for almost 20 years and over the past 8 years I've met atleast 15!

It does make me think of Chief Brody from Jaws, but as a first name I don’t think it immediately says ‘American’ If you like it then just go for it - people will soon get used to it :)

Thanks all!

I know an 8? Year old brody

I don't think of it as particularly American actually. (I know it is but I dont think ohhh American when I hear it) So no wouldn't put me off.

I however have children who have greek, French, Germanic and Irish names where dh and I are neither so fair to say I don't care that much.

I know a few boys called Brodie but not with a y at the end. Doesn't sound American to me, but we're in Scotland where it's more common I think.

If you love it, who cares! American names are just as lovely. x

Sounds more Australian to me - makes me think of a surfer type with shoulder length curly blonde hair. Don’t think it matters though.

I prefer Brodie but don’t see it as American. I’d assume you had some Scottish heritage.

Brody/ Brodie is quite a common name in Scotland

I wouldn’t say this was a particularly unusual name, if you like it then have it!

Brody Jenner! He's good looking though

I know three (various spellings of ie or y endings) - all Scottish.

Hmm interesting question. I think it would a little so I understand why it’s affecting you but I found it quite stressful having everyone comment on potential names & then ending up not loving any of them anymore. Brodie isn’t a name I really like but only because it’s not my style - I don’t think I’d think American myself. Although I don’t think sounding American is awful - an association like Adolph would be awful. American? Meh

The only Brody I've met was from Louisiana, so yes I would say its American.
