Brave and Bravery

Boy Names
1

I’ve been considering brave as a name for a while, and I was suggested bravery as well today and I’ve sort of fallen in love with both of them. What do you think of Brave and [name_m]Bravery[/name_m] as names? I’d probably use them as middle names, what names would you suggest for first names?

I second the above poster. I think they could work as middle names only

I love both, but I do have [name_m]Bravery[/name_m] as a first, and Brave as just a middle. I really like strong, adventurous sounding firsts with mn [name_m]Bravery[/name_m]/Brave, so names like [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] Brave/[name_m]Bravery[/name_m], [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] [name_m]Bravery[/name_m], [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] Brave, [name_m]Gideon[/name_m] [name_m]Bravery[/name_m].

I don’t think Brave is usable as it’s an adjective, but [name_m]Bravery[/name_m] could be a cool virtue name!
I’d pick a more familiar first name, something either classic or in the top 500 most popular names

Brave feels slightly unfinished as a first to me, but works nicely as a middle. [name_m]Bravery[/name_m] works for either in my opinion.

I like them! Brave is a good middle, and I think [name_m]Bravery[/name_m] can work as a first or middle, though I think as a first I’d like it a lot on a girl.

[name_m]Bravery[/name_m] as a middle…maybe. I wouldn’t use Brave because of its past usage as a name for Native American warriors; I have no idea whether its use was meant as a compliment or not, but for me it’s simply too much of a minefield to get into.

My feelings exactly. Like… would you name his sister Squaw?
I don’t think Brave is politically correct.
[name_m]Bravery[/name_m] is just like [name_u]Avery[/name_u], sort of unisex.
