Comments for the name Branson

Amos Branson Alcott was a teacher, writer, and proponent of Transcendentalist thought in the 19th century. However, he is likely best known to many as the father of Louisa May Alcott, author of many books, including Little Women.

For some reason, this name makes me think of a slightly chubby, obnoxious, and annoying 12-year-old boy. Besides, I don't really like names that start with ''Bran'', with the exception of Brandon.

This is a city in southern Missouri.

My typical rule for surname-turned-forenames is that they best be left until the end of the first name and middl ename... in other words: they should remain last names. I admit that there are a select few that I can tolerate with a quiet disgust-- but "Branson" does not happen to be one.
I find it unbelievably juvenile and unprofessional, uneducated, borderline "kre8tiv," and entirely unattractive.
