It makes me think of Glenn Miller and his music. :-)

This is my brothers name but in his case it's short for Glendon which is not on here. I love it I think it's very versatile.

I have never liked the sound of this name. It sounds gooey, sticky, and slimy.

I like this name. It's so short and simple, but strong and masculine.

I just don't like it. One hard syllable. And I feel like I don't like G names in general, but who knows.

This is a name a son can be healthy with. His parents are smart.

I suppose it could be an okay name, but I either think of stupid Glenn Beck or crazy Daddy Glen from Dorothy Allison's book "Bastard out of Carolina". Not very nice namesakes, to say the least...

I this name, as simple as it is, is actually pretty good. The only masculine names I hear these days are "John" "Michael" and "Robert" and names like that. You don't hear a name like "Glenn" everyday. I like it, and it has a nice ring to it. BUT ONLY ON A BOY! Because I've heard of parents naming their girls Glenn, and that sounds terrible on a girl.
Probably the most famous bearer of the name is television/radio host Glenn Beck, known best for is libertarian/conservative political views and wanting to restore honor, integrity, and God in America.

This name sounds quite... oh, let's say "glitzy."
Just because of the (in)famous bearer Glenn Beck, I would NEVER use it on a child, because to me it is synonymous with "pompous redneck idiot."
Don't name your daughter this, either. It is a masculine name.
I do, however, love the name Glynis (and other variants, likie Glenys or Glynnis) and think Glen is a lovely nickname for it.

I have no idea who Glenn Beck is, so that doesn't play a role in my opinion of this name. But still, I don't really like this name. I just don't really like the sound of it.

I'd like this name except all I can think of when I hear it is Dairy Glen, the brand of milk. I know it's spelled differently, but it is still pronounced the same.
