As an American, my first thought was that it's a shortened form of trendy "Brant-" names, which turned me off from it. Since I've learned that it's from a last name coming from some very cool Nordic or Germanic given names, it's grown on me. Unlike many other older names from those origins, it does not sound very unusual to modern ears. As an added bonus, the fact that it is monosyllabic makes it easy to pair in a first-middle name combination. However, given the association with the aforementioned trendy names, I would go with "Brand" or "Brandt" instead if you are an English speaker.

The name Brant was given to 101 baby boys born in the US in 2012. The spelling Brandt is currently more popular.

I knew a guy in high school by this name and he was lovely. Definitely helped in my perception of the name. I really do like it. Strong, simple, but not a John or a James.

I am going to name my son Brant. My husband and I are getting ready to adopt our son and I am already in love with Brant even though we haven't met him yet. I also like it spelled "Brandt".
