[Opinions] Bryce
Ok so what are your opinions on Bryce. Can you help me grow on it? My darling brother and his wife are expecting and are almost concreted in the name Bryce for a boy. The last name is Dawson so this is a really harsh sounding name for me to digest Bryce Dawson. What do you think is this name gonna be the bad pick in the families rather well thought out and picked names?

I don't like Bryce at all, but I don't think Bryce Dawson sounds bad. I think it sounds like the name of a famous actor or sports star or something.

I have a cousin named Bryce. I didn't particularly like the name at first but it grew on me. It isn't a favorite, but a person can change your view of a name. I think Bryce Dawson has a good ring to it.

I don't think Bryce Dawson sounds too bad. To me it sounds like the hero character in a movie or something! Or maybe the actor's name, "Starring Bryce Dawson". Really not horrible at all.

I like Bryce. It is a bit trendy but way more interesting than Bruce.
I find it masculine but preppy & fun.

I like Bryce and I think it sounds nice with the last name Dawson, besides the double S sound. I wouldn't use it on my own child, but I've always had a special place in my heart for this name.

It's alright, but I agree that it's harsh. However, I think the "s" sound at the end can relieve some of the harshness. I'm a fan of most "Br-" boys names. I usually don't like Bryce because it seems like a 'jock name', but I can also picture it on a nice, fairly quiet person. I think when you meet the kid it'll grow on you.

Ahh see I find it to be a bit nerdy of a name. My brother is the picture next to the definition of jock and this is what he was aiming for in naming his son. Thats alot for one little boy to live up to.

Bryce isn't a favorite of mine but it's not TERRIBLE. It's a strong name I see aging well. I much prefer this spelling to Brice. I agree Bryce Dawson just doesn't sound quite right but it could be loads worse, right? Just remind yourself they could have decided on Ladarius Jaykwon.... or something equally terrifying
