Comments for BRONTE:
An ancient Greek name, from the Greek word "bronte", means "the sound of the thunder" in Greek. In Greek mythology Brontes was a Cyclops, the personification of "bronte".-- Damis 3/4/2005
I have seen it pronounced Brawhn-Tee but more often pronounced Brawhn-Tay.-- Anonymous User 8/4/2006
I think it's beautiful for a girl.-- Anonymous User 8/28/2006
I like it as a girl's name.-- Anonymous User 9/4/2006
I always thought Bronte was a French name.-- FairyGirl 10/21/2006
Andie MacDowell played a character named Bronte in the film Green Card. It seemed perfect, the kind of "look-how-educated-and-clever-we-are-name" some parents would bestow on their children.-- Anonymous User 11/12/2006
Seems like a very feminine name to me. Beautiful!-- Anonymous User 11/26/2006
I do think that this is a rather feminine name. I just can't picture a boy with it! But it is such a cool name, and I love the Bronte sisters' works. My favorite combo for this is Bronte Evangeline.-- Pheadirean 1/21/2007
I love this name, I think I'd use it more as a middle name just because there are a few more names that I love more than this one and don't plan on having 6 or 7 kids. I like it better as a girls name but I guess it would be nice for a boys name too.-- carly_ann 2/12/2008
My girlfriend's name is Bronte. After knowing her I really can't see the name used for a boy.-- Anonymous User 5/13/2008
Please note that this name is becoming more prevalent for girls, so much so that I think that the gender should read "Feminine and Masculine" as opposed to the current "Masculine".-- Corae 8/8/2008
I agree, saying this is a masculine name is outdated. While not common in Australia this name for a girl is not unheard of - I went to school with 3.-- Willandra 9/23/2008
One word: BOGAN.
Ah and I do love the Cyclops connection. Real sweet. :)-- Anonymous User 8/4/2009
The 'bogan' comment above made me laugh. This is a name popular with pseudo-intellectuals.-- vomiting 11/7/2009
I think Brontë would make a great middle name (feminine).-- erb816 12/26/2009
Bronte is a beachside suburb of Sydney, Australia.
I can assure the user vomiting that in Australia, locational names are very popular, and girls called Bronte are much more likely to be named after Bronte Beach than the Bronte sisters.
The anonymous user is correct: this is indeed a bogan name.
(Pseudo-intellectuals don't use it because it's been claimed by bogans).-- keepitreal 1/25/2011
I know a girl named Bronte and she pronounces it Brawn-tey but is always correcting weirdos who pronounce it Brawn-tee. Brawn-tey sounds so much better than Brawn-tee, which reminds me of a horse noise or something.
I also thought it sounded manly to be a girls name but all the Brontes I've met have been girls, probably from the Bronte sisters' association.-- jeannie. 3/3/2011
