Brian?

[SimpleToUnderstand]

Is this one a good one?

He's not the messiah, he's a very naughty frontal lobe.

Don't do it OP!

I'd have said no way last year, but my 5 year old has an ace little Bryan in their class this year and he has transformed the name for me - feel like I hear it with whole new ears!

No

No

I actually like the way Brian sounds.
I don't think I could use it though, it does remind me of an older man.

Weird how Ryan sounds ok and Brian sounds grim.

Never had Ryan on any list though. Too sur namey for me.

Garry / Harry similarly strange!
Ken / Ben too.

I like it, strong sounding and not overused. He won't be lost in the sea of Archie, Teddy, Max and all the other cutesy names about.

It’s ok for a middle aged man, definitely not for a child in 2020.

It’s still quite popular in America though as is Colin .

I think it's a very amusing name for a dog or rabbit but for a human, feel v dated and also reminds me of Brian the Snail from the Magic Roundabout and also The Life of Brian and also Bad Sir Brian Botany.

I know it's a personal choice but when there are so many lovely names it seems hard to lumber a baby, child, adult with a name like this unless of course you are naming after a Brian in which case a middle name?
