Brian

[Fimbo]

Fab

no

the snail

also makes me think of brain.

LOL - it's my dad's name, I think my dm was miffed I didn't use it as a middle name for my ds.

My mother used to occasionally spell it Bryan in cards and stuff to look posh.

HAHAHAHAHA

we had a kid at school nicknamed the russian spy because he was called brian

i have no idea why

I'm really sorry if you like this but please don't use it. It just reminds me of salty water.

I really like this name

Sweet for a little boy (and fine for a grown-up too)

I am Brian and so is my wife

Brian = male pattern baldness

That's cruel

Brian (my dad) used to have a comb over.

Just not retro enough to be cool yet- give it a decade maybe.

My grandad is a Brian. Maybe that's why I think of bald old men? Whatever. It's vile.

It's one of those names that I can never see coming back into vogue though along with Trevor and Geoffrey.

People said that about Florence, Mabel and Arthur

"He's not the Messiah, he's a very naughty boy!"

Why not Nigel?

I had a house rabbit called Brian. He was cool. Chewed everything to bits, though...

DS wanted to call our labrador Brian, we said NO.

NO NO NO NO NO.

That'smy dad and my BIL's middle name

Sadly BIL hates it and wouldn't recommend it for kids now

As an aside my dad doesn't even know if his name is spelled Brian or Bryan, as his Mum taught him one then the birth cert says the other. Bizarre.

Nononononononono

NO!

Reminds me of a Brian that I went to school with -he wasn't the sharpest knife in the drawer IYSWIM. He used to write his name as Brain. Oh the irony.

Yep, and I still cringe at little girls called Mabel and Ivy/boys called Arthur and Stanley.

no no no

Oooooh!!!! Ivy and Stanley were my GPs! Having Ivy as a middle name if it's a girl.

I knew someone called Brian who spread a rumour that I had slept with him and I only found out three years later.
