Re: Brandy
in reply to a message by Lily
I also think that Brandy became popular because of the popularity of Mandy, Sandy, Randy etc. I guess some people might see it as a feminine form of Brandon. Maybe.
I know a Brandi. I've always thought her name was silly, and it doesn't help that she's such an unpleasant person. I guess some people just don't care. I also know girls named Champagne, Chardonnay, and Tequila. Personally, I don't see the appeal.

Oh you might be right. The -andy trend still continued in the 80s (even though then Mandy was mainly short for Amanda) and at the time not only Brandon but lots of Br-names became common such as Brianna, Brooke and Brittany. Maybe these two things came together.
Still I don't get it, I mean it's liquor. It might have sounded attractive at the time but it's not only a brand name but really a name for that kind of alcohol. Oh well. :P

I dunno... I think of Brandy as more of a 70s and 80s infliction and Brandon as more of an 80s and 90s infliction... Not a fan of either... as you can possibly tell... Brandon seemed to become stronger after Brandy than before, so I wouldn't blame Brandon for Brandy's popularity. Brendan is even less attractive to me than Brandon is.
Kinda funny random side note... Was just thinking what well-known tv show character named Brandy was on the scene back in the mid-80s when Brandon was growing in popularity... Know who it was? Punky Brewster's dog. :-P
