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

Sounds like trailer trash from the Deep South. No way.

I knew a girl called Brandy and she was a nasty chavvy piece of work.

PocketBears · 22/07/2020 18:37

They both sound like porn stars. Brandy is worse but both are bloody awful.

Roselilly36 · 22/07/2020 18:41

I really like it, I have only known one Brandy. I also love the name Remy, and no, I don’t drink Brandy.

St Bernard's name!

MsSweary · 22/07/2020 18:48

Sounds like an American female film character of the 70s.

Stripper or dog, possibly cat.

Definitely use Eden instead.

ThatLibraryMiss · 22/07/2020 18:58

If you're going to use it, use Brandi.

Oh please don't. That's a name that has a little heart over the i instead of a dot.

I woudl think you were a guardians of the galaxy fan.....

its not great for a girl - Eden is ok not great dont know why think its become really popular...

Quizeerascal · 22/07/2020 19:11

101% Eden

Natt99 · 22/07/2020 19:14

Reminds me of that song by brandy and Monica but you have sweet reason s for liking it. Eden is nice though

PocketBears · 22/07/2020 19:19

^ It's not hard to see - the boy is miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine. 😬

MikeUniformMike · 22/07/2020 19:36

I'd rather a G&T, but how about Sherry?

saltycat · 22/07/2020 19:36

I don't usually get involved in name threads, because most people just decide and do it.

But on this occasion, I shall pour myself a Brandy later and raise a toast to Eden.

Spidey66 · 22/07/2020 19:38

Let's just say I prefer Eden. I think that's lovely.

What about Brandy as a middle name?

Arnoldthecat · 22/07/2020 19:42

LOL NO..!

Mangofandangoo · 22/07/2020 19:45

Please don't

Enderman · 22/07/2020 19:49

God no, Brandy is terrible? Don’t do that to a child.

MikeUniformMike · 22/07/2020 19:50

Eden is popular because of the Evie, Edie trend.

Brandi is, um, unaspirational.

sanityisamyth · 22/07/2020 19:50

I learnt to ride at a stables where the horses were named after various alcoholic drinks: Brandy, Whiskey, (red) Rum, Scotch etc.

Maybe you could do the same OP?

ellsom · 22/07/2020 20:28

I prefer Eden to Brandy, It's becoming popular with then nn Edie. I prefer Eden to Edith which I hear a lot.
Don't like Brandy though it's quite 70/80s American.

123Dancewithme · 22/07/2020 23:39

It’s awful. The back story is nice but people would just assume you named your child after an alcoholic drink.
