Bradley or Calvin

[Harveyes2679]

What are your thoughts of these names?

Bradly seems quite dated now but I like Calvin.

Calvin’s a good name.

I like Calvin but not Bradley.

Both sound very 90s/noughties American to me.

Dreadful. They sound like two sleazy marketing guys in 1960s Chicago.

neither

Sorry not my taste

They are both names that are likely to be shortened by friends and I prefer Cal to Brad, so Calvin
But it does make me think 'and Hobbes' or 'Klein'.

Bradley was of the era when I was choosing for my son born in 1997.
I'm glad I didn't use it because it declined rapidly from then and sounds very old fashioned now.
I don't know a Calvin and immediately thought of boxer shorts.
Sorry to be negative op but I don't like either.

Do you have any others?

Definitely Calvin

Definitely Calvin. It’s got a slicker sound, Brad to me is a 90s surfer dude.

I don’t love either, but prefer Calvin

I went to school in the 90s and every scallywag was called Bradley. I put it in the same category as Kev, Gary, Scott, Robbie.

Calvin just makes me think of the pants. I really don’t like either.

Nothing wrong with them but they sound like the names of 60 year olds.

Neither tbh sorry.

Any others?

I prefer Bradley to Calvin but wouldn’t use either myself.

Not my taste, too American.

Both dreadful.

Neither. Sorry.

Another one who prefers the nickname Cal to Brad so I’d go with Calvin.

Neither

I like both! Calvin is really nice.

Not hugely keen on either but prefer Calvin- Cal is a nice nickname.
