[name]Bronwen[/name] is a Welsh GIRLS name and [name]Brody[/name] is an Celtic BOYS name/surname so I’m a little confused on the gender of your child. Brody isn’t my style but I do love Bronwen for a girl.

I agree with [name]Mischa[/name]. I love [name]Bronwen[/name] (girl), but [name]Brody[/name] (boy) isn’t my cup of tea.

nat108 · August 3, 2012, 7:55am

I was totally confused when I saw this. What gender are you naming?

lineska · August 3, 2012, 8:53am

I like [name]Bronwen[/name] on a girl.

[name]Brody[/name], nms but fine on a boy.

I’m wondering the same thing as previous posters. Is this for a girl or a boy because [name]Bronwen[/name] is a girl’s name and [name]Brody[/name] is a boy’s name.

southern.maple · August 3, 2012, 9:11am

To echo what everyone else has said… [name]Brody[/name] is a boy’s name and [name]Bronwen[/name] is a girl’s name. Are you having a boy or a girl?

samo · August 3, 2012, 10:09am

It’s a girl’s name. I didn’t want to specify because I’ve been lurking for a while and it seems boys’ names on girls isn’t a favorite amongst most berries. However, there are many traditionally male names that I love for girls, and [name]Brody[/name] is one of them. I was just trying to get some opinions without too many “for the love of god don’t name your daughter [name]Brody[/name]” replies

LOL! For a girl I prefer [name]Bronwen[/name], but [name]Brody[/name] would be cute too.

dresdendoll · August 3, 2012, 10:35am

[name]Brody[/name] should only be used on a boy. [name]Bronwen[/name] is nice for a girl.

cka · August 3, 2012, 10:39am

I was confused too. I don’t think [name]Brody[/name] would be a good name for a girl, sorry. I like [name]Bronwyn[/name] / [name]Bronwen[/name] though for a girl.

gblondie · August 3, 2012, 10:45am

agree…

Pansy · August 3, 2012, 10:54am

For a girl, definitely [name]Bronwen[/name].

lineska · August 3, 2012, 11:25am

In that case, I think you should do [name]Bronwen[/name] and call her [name]Brody[/name] if you like. It’s a very cute nn for a girl, just not a full name.

kala_way · August 3, 2012, 11:39am

You could do [name]Bronwen[/name] nn [name]Bonny[/name] or [name]Bren[/name] or [name]Wren[/name]. I agree with the others that [name]Brody[/name] is a boy’s name

teacherma · August 3, 2012, 11:43am

Would you give her a middle name that starts with D? I think it would be a little more creative to have [name]Bronwen[/name] D_____, nicknamed [name]Brody[/name], than just [name]Brody[/name] on its own. Some ideas

[name]Bronwen[/name] [name]Diana[/name]
[name]Bronwen[/name] [name]Dahlia[/name]
[name]Bronwen[/name] [name]Dair[/name] / [name]Bronwen[/name] [name]Daire[/name]
[name]Bronwen[/name] [name]Delilah[/name]
[name]Bronwen[/name] [name]Danae[/name]
[name]Bronwen[/name] [name]Danielle[/name]
[name]Bronwen[/name] [name]Danica[/name] / [name]Bronwen[/name] [name]Danika[/name]
[name]Bronwen[/name] [name]Daphne[/name]
[name]Bronwen[/name] [name]Darcy[/name]
[name]Bronwen[/name] [name]Dawn[/name]
[name]Bronwen[/name] [name]Deana[/name]
[name]Bronwen[/name] [name]Deirdre[/name]
[name]Bronwen[/name] [name]Delaney[/name]
[name]Bronwen[/name] [name]Demetria[/name]
[name]Bronwen[/name] [name]Denise[/name]
[name]Bronwen[/name] [name]Desiree[/name]
[name]Bronwen[/name] [name]Dominique[/name]
[name]Bronwen[/name] [name]Donata[/name]
[name]Bronwen[/name] [name]Dorothy[/name]
[name]Bronwen[/name] [name]Dove[/name]

I like the sound of [name]Bronwen[/name] [name]Dillon[/name], nn [name]Brody[/name] too.

claireelise · August 3, 2012, 11:52am

I don’t like [name]Brody[/name] for a girl. It has “BRO” in it! It would be like naming a daughter [name]HarriSON[/name]. It doesn’t make sense, to me anyway.

I like [name]Bronwen[/name] though…it’s really pretty.

nat108 · August 3, 2012, 12:21pm

I find [name]Brody[/name] totally unattractive- boy or girl- but whatever, not my kid. [name]Brodie[/name]/Brodi/Broady are legit variant that may look a bit more feminine

I don’t understand how [name]Brody[/name] comes from [name]Bronwen[/name]. [name]Bron[/name], Brony, [name]Rony[/name] make more sense

samo · August 3, 2012, 12:42pm

[name]Bronwen[/name] has BRO in it as well and names like [name]Allison[/name] have [name]SON[/name] in it. [name]Just[/name] sayin’! Thank you for the compliment on [name]Bronwen[/name].

alliecat · August 3, 2012, 12:49pm

I know i’m in the minority here, but I’m a person who loves unique names, and I love the name [name]Spencer[/name] for a girl, so I think if you love [name]Brody[/name] (I’m not a fan of [name]Bronwen[/name] either way) pick it! It’s a sweet name and I feel like a cute name for a little girl.
