Thoughts on [name]Breccan[/name]? Thanks
I like it. I has a modern sound but I like the medieval and celtic vibes I get from it. I prefer the spelling Brecan.
It does have a cool vibe to it. There aren’t a lot of Br- names that appeal to me right now, but [name]Breccan[/name] does. I also like [name]Beckett[/name] and [name]Declan[/name], which have a similar feel to me.
I really want to love this name, I love how it has history, the meaning is cute, it fits in with today’s trends while still being unique and not overheard. But for some reason all I hear when I read the name is the word ‘bracken’ which is a shame because I really think it could be a lovely name
Like it! Very nice. Can’t really say much more than that!
St. [name]Breccan[/name] was an early 6th century Irish saint who was baptised by St. [name]Patrick[/name]. He was the son of the [name]Prince[/name] of Thomond (in Limerick) and grandson of the first [name]Christian[/name] ruler of that territory. The townland of Ardbraccan (in County Meath, [name]Ireland[/name]) attributes it’s name to St. [name]Breccan[/name]. He wrote some prophecies about [name]Ireland[/name]'s wars and the coming of the Anglo-Normans to [name]Ireland[/name]. When he heard that the Oirghialla (an ancient and degenerate tribe) lived around Ardbraccan he swore that he would convert them to Christianity. He was successful in this. He finally went to the [name]Aran[/name] Islands off the coast of [name]Galway[/name] and and founded [name]Temple[/name] [name]Breccan[/name] on Inis Mhor - the largest of the [name]Aran[/name] Islands and is buried there. [name]Breccan[/name] is an Irish boys name and is pronounced [name]Breck[/name]-[name]Ann[/name]. [name]Hope[/name] this helps.
