ArchivesMy column on Brian
Here is the link to today's column:
https://omaha.com/lifestyles/cleveland-evans-brian-boomed-in-the-early-70s/article_f594a5ec-cf8a-11eb-ac0a-63b97224579f.html
Since I only get 540 words for the column there is usually much I wanted to mention that I don't have space for. I wish I had had room to point out that Brian became popular in the UK in the early 20th century well before it did in the USA. The modal Brian in England right now is about 86 years old while the modal Brian in the USA is turning 49 this year.
I actually had a couple of sentences in the column I wrote about Brian being popular with Hispanic immigrant parents in the USA during the early 2000s, often respelled as Brayan because "ay" is pronounced like the English word "eye" in Spanish, but that got edited out.
