My husband’s name is Brandon. I have always loved this name, it’s classy, timeless, and strong. I very much prefer Brandon over Brendon and Brendan. Those look like the misspelled version of Brandon.

Brandon Peters (1893-1956), who was born as Francis Brandon Peters in Troy, New York, was an actor who was the last person to star as Father in "Life With Father", the longest running nonmusical play ever on Broadway. As this was in 1947, it may be related to the fact that in 1947 31 Brandons were born in the USA, the first time more than 18 were ever born in one year, and following a year (1946) when only 9 were born, according to the Social Security data.

The Teutonic Meaning of Brandon is "Flaming Sword", and thus a name for the Sun as according to "Stowe's Bible Astrology" the Sun is the flaming sword of the garden of Eden, Genesis 3:24. The Golden Dawn magical Tradition uses the term flaming sword for the process of involution and ascension by first way of descension into incarnation. Hence Brandon is the word made flesh "He descends is he who ascends", and while also being a Sun diety, thus he is the "incarnate Sun-God". This name also because of this meaning of Descension into incarnation, inherently contains all other names within himself since we all incarnate and ascend. Numerologicaly Brandon=217, and revelation 2:17 is the scripture saying "he will recieve a white stone, and a new name written in it", and to bookend that 21:7 "he that overcomes will inheret all things, and i will be his God and he shall be my son". Or this may be the name of the antichrist, or the demiurge/imperfect ruling creator as it was used in the Matrix 4 movie for the name of the son of Trinity in her "forgetfullness" of her true self thingking she was "tiffany". In the Nag Hammadie scriptures, sophia, the divine feminine begets a son while in her forgetfullness of exploring experiencial realms. This son she called "Yaldabaoth" which means "young man move over here!", (curiously a term similar to the popular "Let's Go Brandon!"). Yaldobaoth then creates the material world and his placement is that of Saturn/Satan theologically, and the name Aldabrandt shares similar Phoenetic quality and Aldabrandt, but interestingly Aldabrandt means from the tribe of Dan, which is where the antichrist will come from, according to Revelation 7:48. Notice also the name Brandon means sword, and the lord will come back with a two edged sword of his mouth, or a double edged sword. In one day, notice how the name became both a blessing and a curse, just speaking it invokes hurrahs in one polarized group on the right, and to the left his name is the twin king of the curse word starting with "F", and directed at their president. No other name in history has caused this much POLARIZED love and hate, EXCEPT...one. There is POWER in the name, indeed.

This is my brother's name and it suits him well. My parents were originally going to call him Xander, but thank goodness they ended up naming him Brandon, I honestly can't imagine him being a Xander or any other name for that matter, he is a Brandon. Therefore, this is a good and strong name for your son. Also, if you have a son and daughter, a great name pair up is Brandon and Charlotte, as I think both those names flow really well together, these are my brother and I's names after all, so I would know. Honestly, Brandon can be paired up with a lot of names, which is what makes it a well-rounded and really good name. Plus, it's way better than the more popular name, Brendan.

In the US there is a political chant that unfortunately uses this name as of 2021. Perhaps it will quickly die off, but if it does have lasting power, it could mean less popularity for this name in the near future. If I were to have a boy today, I would honestly think twice about it, but a few years from now maybe not a big deal.

The name honestly isn’t bad. Really handsome. I much prefer it on a boy though. I had no idea Brandon was even used on girls. I don’t see what’s wrong with giving your daughter a regular feminine name. It doesn’t even need to be frilly or anything.

My name is Brandon and I am female. I haven't met another female with my name but lots of guys. And they all, for the most part, have a cool demeaner too. I would love to come across another female Brandon as I believe the name pretty much has a small affect on each day I live.

Brandon is a strong, handsome name for a boy. It's becoming less and less popular with time however, hitting its peak in the mid 90's, due in large part to Actor Jason Priestley's character Brandon Walsh on the extremely popular TV series Beverly Hills, 90210. Most recently it has been popularized by Actor Jesse Hempstead Wright's character Brandon Stark on the hit HBO series Game of Thrones. Some other celebrities who bear the name are The Killers frontman Brandon Flowers, Incubus frontman Brandon Boyd, Actor Brandon Lee (Bruce Lee's son), Actor Brandon Routh, and NFL star Wide Receiver Brandon Marshall.
Weird side note: Every Brandon I know or have ever met has had dark hair and dark features. Doesn't sound right for a guy with blonde or red hair.

I hate this name with a passion. It tries way too hard to be oh-so-ruggedly handsome and masculine. It just hits you over the head with it. "Hello, my name is Brandon. I'm just riding into town on my prancing and pawing stallion from a long day of rounding up the dogies. I have rugged chiseled features, a few days' growth of beard, a cigarette rakishly hanging out of my mouth, a body hardened by hours in the saddle, and my cowboy hat dangling over my eyes in an intriguing fashion. Just gonna swing myself down from the saddle now. Stand back, ladies! My name is Brandon!"
I hate this name.

I rather like the name, even though it's hideously overused and common. It's one of those names that don't sound infantile on adults, and it's got a pleasant-enough sound to it. This name has always made me picture some good-looking young guy with dark brown hair and dark eyes, but who isn't tanned or foreign-looking. Somehow I don't see this name on blond guys, and especially not red-haired guys.

I really like his name. It's so sweet sounding and it reminds me of a bouncing baby boy. I would definitely recommmend this name for anyone to use for their son. Maybe even for their daughter. I think it would be just fine to use it for a girl baby too, but she might be teased a lot through out her life.

I know so many Brandons, but I could meet more and more and still love the name. My cousins think I'm crazy for planning to name my son this, but it makes perfect sense to me. The two men who mean the most to me have the name, so why not? I really love it, though. It's my boyfriend's name and he just means everything to me. He's intelligent and sweet. Funny, but not overbearing. And the same goes for my other Brandon - my closest cousin. Brandon Joel. That'll be my son's name. ^__^
