By like a million. I like Brendan and I really dislike Brandon. Not sure what it is about that vowel sound that changes it so much. I also really don't like the way the -on looks in Brandon. Brendan sounds strong and kind and Brandon is just bratty and obnoxious and a jerk. (For the record, I have a cousin named Brandon who is not a jerk, but it still gives me that impression!)

Definitely different pronunciations-- BREN and BRAN. But the ending sounds the same.

I've known several of each. I think Brandon is more common. I wouldn't say either are "too common," though.
