I've known more Brandons that I can keep track of, but I've only ever met one
Brendon (that spelling) and it was
Brendon Urie from Panic! at the Disco.
Even before I was a fan of theirs, I was partial to the name
Brendan over
Brandon. I have never been a fan of
Brandon. It's just nothing special after hearing it so many times. It's like just another
Chris or
Tony or
Mike, at least around where I live. Not to mention,
Brendan seems to bring more culture with it and I really like that.
There's a big difference in sound. Not to mention, Bren for short is way cooler than
Bran for short, imo anyway. Also, bandmates for
Brendon Urie call him Brenny when he's childish (which is often) and I can't imagine someone using Branny as a decent nn.
I think
Brendon had more trouble with their guitarist calling him
Brennan than anyone calling him
Brandon.
