Bran 1

Simple yet a sense of strength and intellect. I think in my head I'm pronouncing it more like "Brawn," but I think either way is fine. It sounds strong but not barbaric. It's a good gothic name without it being too "in your face." 8/10 for me.

When I hear the name Bran, I DO NOT think of a cereal. What my mind's eye IMMEDIATELY brings into view is a picture of a man, tall, straight & stalwart in stature, with a wide chest supported by broad, strong shoulders.

I like Bran very much!

It is a short, simple name with an interesting meaning linked with nature but also with mysterious things.

I prefer it as a full name because it is strong.

Despite the Bran Flakes association, I still think this is a very cool, strong sounding name. It'd make a good middle name for a kid, so he wouldn't have to deal with any Bran Flakes teasing right away.

I really like this name. I love that it is monosyllabic which to me always gives a name sense of strength. It is also the name of a very important (and strong) character within several Patricia Briggs novels.

I heard this name on the tv show Game of Thrones and have really started to like it. I love the meaning and the simplicity of the name.

I think it's a fine name, but it would get some teasing in an English-speaking place.

When I hear BRAN I think of Bran Flakes. Ewww.
