I love Brody, we considered that one. What about Jackson?

CheshireCats · 06/02/2025 23:44

Grayson is dire.
Like Jude the best from your list.

Grant - A bit 1980s
Grayson - Terrible
Brody and Jude - Okay

JJames1 · 06/02/2025 23:59

I also like Sebastian but I am not sure if it fits with Phoebe

Sebastian is better than the other 4 !

Brody is a lovely name

lurkerchan · 07/02/2025 00:05

Grayson, Jude and Sebastian go lovely with Phoebe. Not a fan of Grant or Brody.

theduchessofspork · 07/02/2025 00:06

Jude is v nice, though v of the moment

Sebastian v nice too - and goes really well with Phoebe

I think the rest are grim (sorry) and a bit low rent (sorry), though Brody is nice for a puppy.

Laurence (Laurie)
Issac
Reuben
Guy
Rory
Gabriel

might be others

Love Sebastian ( and Tristan ).
Grant - dislike.
Grayson - dislike but quite like Gray.
Brody - awful.
Jude - I know so many.

Savemefromwetdog · 07/02/2025 04:16

Sebastian is nice. Not a fan of any of the others.

Grayson is awful, sorry,

BoleynMemories13 · 07/02/2025 07:00

Phoebe and Jude is a nice combination. The other names are far removed from my own personal taste.

PerkyTitan · 07/02/2025 07:07

I like the name Brody best, not so keen on the others.

LoudPlumDog · 07/02/2025 07:22

Grayson is the best

Moonlightstars · 07/02/2025 07:24

Brody - not a nice sound
Grant - 40 year old man who works in a dull office job that no one really understands.
Jude - will be very 2020s
Sebastian - solid name, Seb nice nickname
Grayson - bit try hard

Grayson reminds me of Grayson Perry, recently photographed in his little girl outfit & a prominent black dildo. Not a great association.

I know a puppy called Brody, though admittedly she’s gorgeous.

hideawayforever · 07/02/2025 07:33

Jude

Agreed. Although he's unlikely to be a well-known point of reference to future generations, even if I were very keen on the name (and I do think it's a bit surnamey to me), GP would make me decide against it.

I'm always very suspicious indeed of middle-aged men who don't just prefer to cross-dress like middle-aged women tend to dress, but rather love to copy the (stereotypical or realistic) way that little or teenaged girls usually dress.

Interestingly, they never, ever seem to favour the little boy look that they would actually have already embraced at an earlier stage of their own lives.

All sound very American to me, so I guess it depends where you live.
I think Sebastian goes well with Pheobe.

Clearinguptheclutter · 07/02/2025 07:51

Brody and Jude great

Jude goes better with Phoebe IMO

I think Grant (Mitchell) and Grayson are awful

Sebastian and Phoebe go really nicely together.

kiwiandcherries · 07/02/2025 07:53

Jude or Sebastian are both good!
