HelpRe: Brendan or Brandon? (more)
in reply to a message by Lily
I'm Irish(-American) so it's Brendan all the way for me.
Brandon has always sounded like a beefy soap-opera hunk -- not a plus in my book. Brandon sounds like someone who is trying to rich but isn't. It's akin to parents naming their dds Brandy in the 70's. Trying to be classiy but ending up sounding trashy.
Brendan, on the other hand, makes me think of St. Brendan the Navigator. Adventurous and classic.
I pronounce them differently, at least the first syllable. "BREN-dun" v "BRAN-dun"
