Actress Glenn Close is a female bearer of this name.

Glenn Miller was an American jazz musician and band leader in the Swing era. He disappeared under mysterious circumstances during World War II.

John Herschel Glenn Jr. was the first American to orbit the earth. He later became a U.S. senator.

Actor Glenn Quinn (1970-2002) is a famous bearer.

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.

A famous bearer is American radio/television host Glenn Beck (born February 10, 1964). He is known for his conservative political views.

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.

A famous bearer is American actor Glenn Howerton (born 13 April 1976). He's best known for his role as Dennis Reynolds on the TV series "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia", a television show he also serves as a writer and executive producers.

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.

Glenn Danzig, lead singer of his band Danzig & former lead singer of the iconic punk band The Misfits.

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.
