Brandon is a very nice name for a boy. It sounds smart and handsome. I have only known one boy named Brandon, spelled Branden, and he is 15 now.

My best friend is named Brandon (he is a boy). I love his name because it suits him perfectly --- he is strong, comedic, rough, and has a great sense of who he is. I absolutely love his name!

I know so many Brandons, but I could meet more and more and still love the name. My cousins think I'm crazy for planning to name my son this, but it makes perfect sense to me. The two men who mean the most to me have the name, so why not? I really love it, though. It's my boyfriend's name and he just means everything to me. He's intelligent and sweet. Funny, but not overbearing. And the same goes for my other Brandon - my closest cousin. Brandon Joel. That'll be my son's name. ^__^
Someone said a couple of posts up that Brandon means sword in Dutch but that's not true. I'm Dutch and I have never heard the word Brandon in my language. The Dutch word for sword is zwaard.
I really like his name. It's so sweet sounding and it reminds me of a bouncing baby boy. I would definitely recommmend this name for anyone to use for their son. Maybe even for their daughter. I think it would be just fine to use it for a girl baby too, but she might be teased a lot through out her life.
Brandon James McCaughey is one of the McCaughey septuplets. He is the fourth eldest of his seven siblings. His parents aren't famous but he and his siblings might just become famous on their own!
I rather like the name, even though it's hideously overused and common. It's one of those names that don't sound infantile on adults, and it's got a pleasant-enough sound to it. This name has always made me picture some good-looking young guy with dark brown hair and dark eyes, but who isn't tanned or foreign-looking. Somehow I don't see this name on blond guys, and especially not red-haired guys.
Although I didn't grow up with anyone with this name, in my step family there are two guys named Brandon (and two named Ryan), and at my church, every other boy is either Brandon or William. (I'm serious.) I like how Brandon sounds, but I think it's way too common for me to use.
My older brother's name is Brandon. I think this is a good name for a boy. Very stable, responsible, but loves life. I think it's a good name.

I hate this name with a passion. It tries way too hard to be oh-so-ruggedly handsome and masculine. It just hits you over the head with it. "Hello, my name is Brandon. I'm just riding into town on my prancing and pawing stallion from a long day of rounding up the dogies. I have rugged chiseled features, a few days' growth of beard, a cigarette rakishly hanging out of my mouth, a body hardened by hours in the saddle, and my cowboy hat dangling over my eyes in an intriguing fashion. Just gonna swing myself down from the saddle now. Stand back, ladies! My name is Brandon!"
