[Opinions] Re: Brian/ Bryan
in reply to a message by TheArtemisMoon
I don't hate it at all; in fact, I love Brian.
I knew a Brian growing up - he was my best friend's little brother, and he's a pretty great guy. I saw him somewhat recently at my his sister's wedding, and he's got an adorable little kid now who's a few years younger than my own kids. (His wife was the other bridesmaid, and she's pretty cool too.)
Also while I was growing up, my dad showed me one of his favourite movies: 'Darby O'Gill and the Little People', where one of the major characters is King Brian of the Leprechauns. And he's amazing. Easily my favourite character in the movie. :D (And of course there's also Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore, whose name I've loved so much since the first time I heard it.)
I'm not really sold on the Bryan spelling, but overall I just really like Brian. I wasn't really aware that it was generally disliked. :/
