Re: Brandy
in reply to a message by )(
Brandy was one of the more common names in my generation. It had started to drop off in popularity, but I don't live in a very fashionable area, so we always seem a bit behind the trends. So Brandy is quite familiar to me, along the same lines as Shari, Chelsea, Amber, Crystal, Candace, stuff like that. I guess it must be a mom name now.I was never super fond of it, but I wouldn't be that surprised if Brandy had a bit of a resurgence. It has a warm, messily authentic sort of retro charm to it. Very 80s. If Brenda is becoming more appealing, then Brandy probably isn't far behind.

Brenda's a better name, in my opinion, and there are better names with a more similar sound. I think a rise in Brenda is more likely to bring back Kendra and Sandra than Brandy.
