Thoughts on Brandy??

[amberph]

Thoughts on the name brandy for my DD. I torn between that and Eden!

Stripper name, sorry!

Brandy = awful

Eden is a nice name, but increasingly popular.

Stripper name - sorry! I love Eden though.

Stripper or dog name.

Could you use it as a middle name - and I'd keep the Italian spelling too. Not as a middle name for Eden though - they don't really go unless you put something else in between - Eden Emily Brandi Jones for example.

It's ok for a dog or a stripper. Not keen on Eden either

If you're in the UK or US avoid. It's basically a porn name of some kind. Just awful.

Eden is also a bit chavvy (sorry) but is still much better.

Going against the grain here - I like both .

It’s a stripper or pet name.

Brandy sounds like an American woman who'd be on the Jerry Springer show to me.

I think your name means Red Fox. I love it! If I am right.

Eden is gorgeous
Naming your child after alcohol drinks - Chardonnay, Brandy Etc is considered very chavvy in the UK

No, definitely not. Eden is better.

Limoncello or Negroni.

Or Eden.

Yep that is it @saltycat ! I've run into a sionnachglic (clever fox) on here as well.

Love it.

"An té nach bhfuil láidir ní folair dó a bheith glic."

If you are not strong you have to be clever! Like the fox.

So sorry to take things off topic. Hope I will be forgiven.

That's Irish Gaelic, but it is more or less the same as Scots Gallic.

Scots Gaelic apologies.

Back on topic. Eden definitely, Brandy no, unless it is in a glass.

Brandy is a horse's name.

Eden Brandi (spelt for your Grandad) works well.

chunkyrun that was my first thought! I used to love ‘the boy is mine’. I might go and have a little play on Spotify now actually!

The first thing that came to my mind was 'The boy is mine' by Brandy and Monica but that doesn't make it a bad thing.

Not as pretty as Tia Maria or Limoncello

I know a 16 year old called Tia Maria Smith

Years ago I was Speaking to her mum at pick up time and in the course of the conversation said "well we obviously know what your favourite drink is"

She looked at me blankly and said "Bacardi and Coke?"

Obviously I've changed the surname in my post.
