HelpBrendan...
in reply to a message by Lily
...is what I prefer, though I don't at all dislike Brandon. I definitely pronounce them differently - both first and last vowel sounds, so I doubt any listener would mistake me.
When I was a kid, I was aware of a few kids named Brandon though school. I did not ever hear Brendan, that I'm aware of, until I was an adult. I have heard Brendan just a handful of times over the years and am not aware of either name being particularly popular or common.
Edited to add that I pronounce Brendan as BREN-dan not BRYN-dan/din as some I'm seeing...Brandon is BRAN-don (don rhymes with "son").
