I like Brianna but it's dropped out of the top hundred, so this baby will have a name that's already dated by the time she's a teenager. (And sound-alike Briana has dropped even further.) I have a name like that myself, and my name was still #41 the year I was born. But it had already started its downswing, so by the time I was a teenager it was a name that few were bestowing on newborn babies any longer. Brianna will be even more so. Anyway, it's not a big deal, but it's a little sucky to know when you're still that young that nobody likes your name any longer, lol.

I hate Brandon for the same reason I hate Melissa, with a gender switch. Melissa tries too hard to be oh-so-pwetty. Brandon tries too hard to be oh-so-ruggedly-masculine.

As a sibset it's somewhat pukey-matchey, with both names starting with BR, and then featuring the N sound heavily. Yeah, okay, it makes sense that someone who likes Brandon would like Brianna for that reason, even though I'm an exception to that. Still, try to branch out.
