Brodie for a girl?

[lola0109]

Hi all,

Just found out that DC2 is DD2 and struggling to think of names.

I was at a party at the weekend and met a girl called Brodie. I had originally thought this was a boys name but apparently it's unisex and this girl was really pretty (as i'm sure DD2 will be ) and really suited the name.

DP likes Carys but I think it's a bit harsh sounding.

DD1 is Ainslie so I have no probelms with unisex names.

Any thoughts or suggestions would be great.

Thought of some more Codie/
Cody... Brona... Bettsy... What names does dh like??

DP likes Carys, he wouldn't even suggest anything else!!

He's just phoned me and said "what about Bronwen?" Argghhhhhh, i've only suggested it a million times!!

But at least its in the maybe list!

LOVE Bronwen!

Brodie is a beautiful name. My daughter who is 6 is called Brodie and it suits her very well. She couldn't be anything else!

I know loads of little Brodies - every single on e is a boy (in Scotland - don't know if that changes things).

Honestly, If I heard of siblings called Ailslie and Brodie I would assume both were boys. Maybe I'm just too parochial.

It's a surname.

Bridie's ok

This is an old thread!

Wonder if the op had her dd and what she chose?

pah! SO it is

Hi all,

I had DD2 and didn't go with Brodie as it didn't really go with our surname. My dad made a comment and it stuck in my head.

In the end I had a pretty rough time in labour and decided to name DD after my grans so went with Elizabeth Ellen (Lizzie).

However, a good friend had her DD 6 weeks before me and was struggling for a name so I "gave" her Brodie! and she is a lovely wee Brodie!!

It's a surname.

Yuk.
