Bran 1

In Susan Cooper's The Dark Is Rising books, Bran is a Welsh boy whom Will Stanton meets while recovering from an illness on his aunt's farm. Will pronounces his name with a short a, but is told that the correct sound in Welsh is a long a, as in 'far'. Bran turns out to be the son of King Arthur and his queen, Guinevere: because she is afraid that Arthur will not acknowledge Bran as his son, because of her love affair with Lancelot, she had him sent into the future for safety. He is the Pendragon, and as such has special powers that help to overcome the power of the Dark.

Bran Stark is one of the main characters of George R R Martin's book series. Although his real name is Brandon he always go by Bran.

I love Bran, but prefer Bram.
I first truly discovered this name when reading The Sight by David Clement-Davies – a wonderful book! – whom was the ‘omega’ or ‘sikla’, which is the weakest in rank. Truth of it was, in the end he was loyal and showed his strength and love, even if it meant he died. Loved ‘im. Also adore that meaning. "Raven" - so handsome and gothic.

In Darren Shan's book Bec there is a child called Bran.
