Help[Opinions] Re: WDYT of Brendan?
in reply to a message by Serafina Starstrider
Unfortunately, I hate it. I sort of have a general aversion to Br- boys names, and Brendan is near the bottom rung (it beats out Bradley, though.) I can't completely say why, just that they sound kind of douchey.

When I was very young I thought of Brendan as an upper class white boy name probably because I knew a Brenda who was an upper class white girl. But as I aged I've meet very few Brendan's and the few I have met have all been artistic nerds from middle or lower class families.
I did recently meet a law school friend of my husband named Brendon. It's the first time I've come across that spelling. He was super friendly and a bit buzzed when I met him. I don't know if he comes from a well off family but he probably does. All I know is that he moved to Chicago from Florida.
A lot of B- names for both genders definitely have a rich person vibe. Although I have also met a lot of Briana's/ Breanna's, Britney's, and Brayden's from very poor families. I feel that rich people are more likely to be douchey than anyone else. Bentley and Bradley seem like super rich douche names. I guess to me Brendan doesn't seem as high society as a lot of other B names or names like Kenneth or Godfrey.
