My name is Branden and I love my name. I think it's very good, who cares how common it is? A name doesn't make you pretty, handsome, or ugly and anyone who thinks so is plain stupid.
I personally like this spelling better then Brandon. Branden reminds me of my name-Emaleigh. It's pronounced the same as Emily, but is just spelled very uniquely!
