HelpRe: Brontë / Bronte
in reply to a message by BeccyLeader2
It's not really my style, but I can see the appeal of it, especially as a feminine name. I think I'd like Bronte on a real person.
I don't think it needs the mark, just like Chloe doesn't need it. Whatever - I can see why people would like to put one on either name.
Bronte seems cooler than, say, Harper or Flannery, which are too American-surnamey/masculine seeming (to my sense at least). It seems stylistically kinda like Byron, only feminine. I guess it's feminine mainly because of the sisters, but also because of the sound similarity to Bronwen. On a guy, it would remind me too much of the word "bronco."
