Re: Brendan or Brandon? (more)

I do pronounce Brendan and Brandon differently. I think the difference is noticeable. I prefer Brendan. It's a nice masculine name--Brandon is masculine, also, but it's *too* masculine. It tries too hard to be so ruggedly masculine. Every time I say "Brandon", I want to flex my imaginary muscles and make my voice as low as possible. "Brandon--urgh"---that's the type of name it is. Something about it just makes me roll my eyes. "I'm Brandon. See me in all my muscularity, with my cragged yet handsome face, wearing my cowboy hat, with my Marlboro dangling from my lips, my gun in my hip holster, my spurs at my heels, swing that lasso over my head, rounding up them dogies--it's me, Brandon. Stand back, ladies, please, give me room to breathe." That's the type of name Brandon is.So, yes, I like Brendan more. It's handsome and masculine without hitting you over the head with its masculinity.It's tied. I have known one Brandon and one Brendan.
