DH likes one name, I'm not sure, I have another name I like better DH hates it. Vote please!! :-)

DH is set on a name for a boy. I am really not keen. I don't hate it but not sure I want to use it either!!! On the other hand, I like another name but DH says he really doesn't like it. Just thought I would see what the favourite out of the two is and if you associate anything with each name! Probably won't be using either anyway!!!

DHs name is Brandon
Mine is Blake

I dislike both.

A few alternatives:
Austin
Dylan
Justin
Cameron
Logan

sorry, not a fan of either I'm afraid. Brandon is too American high school sounding, Blake is marginally better.

DH and I had the same problem - he loved Guy (I kid you not!!) and I loved Dylan (he was bullied by a Dylan in school, so was a definite no-no). thankfully we had a girl so didn't need to kill each other trying to find a third option!

I like them both ...

Another in the no camp here.

Brandon is the name of a small town in Suffolk.

Blair?

Brandon is a location in Thetford Forest (Norfolk I think).
Blake makes me think of a sci fi character...

Sorry, Suffolk!

I thuink they are very similar sorts of names and I must admit to not being fond of either but, if push came to shove, I'd choose Brandon over Blake.

Oooh I like Blake. Very nice. Sounds quite strong. Unusual but not odd. Brandon a bit boring and very all american but that's just me!

my ds is Guy

Six of one.

I like Brendan or Brennan but not Brandon. Blake is ok.

If i had to choose then Blake definatley!

i dont like either

but in general, i would think that the person who is expected to squeeze the baby out of a tiny orifice should get the casting vote

they're both gross, the kind of names given to nasty little shits who beat up other kids at soft play when their mums aren't watching

Neither

Not terribly keen on either. Brandon is terrible, Blake is better.

Of the two, Blake.

Oh sorry I don't really like either of those I am afraid.

They are similar in style to my ears actually. Brandon is the name of the naughty boy in class (sorry to any Brandons!) Blake is white haired man in Dynasty.

Both rather American. But then you may be American OP. In which case fair enough.

I'm thinking that if neither of you like each other's choices then please keep looking for a name that you BOTH like.

Tiny babies do tend to grow up and one day may be bringing their little ones to visit grandma - an awful long time to live with a name that you're not keen on!!

Personally I think Blake & Brandon are very similar, with Brandon maybe getting the edge just because I don't like the harsh sound of Blake ( which is slightly perverse because I like Jake as a name!!)

I hate the name Blake and can barely stand the name Brandon

but then it's not my child is it?

you shouldn't ask for opinions, everyone has one

Neither very nice.

Brennan would be my first choice is surname-names were my thing.

Neither

Brandon reminds me of Pamela Anderson (her sons name)
Blake reminds me of Dynasty!!!

If forced I would choose Brandon, but preferably neither!

My fave name at the moment is Jethro.
