Help[Opinions] Brontë / Bronte
WDYT of Brontë and Bronte? Do you prefer it with the umlaut or without? Do you think it's gender neutral?
Personally I think it looks more elegant with the umlaut and more down to earth without, but I like both. It seems pretty much completely gender neutral to me, which is one of the things I like about it. Also, the Brontë sisters are a definite bonus. I also like that it means "thunder" in Greek.

Listen to the MUSTN'TS, child,
Listen to the DON'TS
Listen to the SHOULDN'TS
The IMPOSSIBLES, the WON'TS
Listen to the NEVER HAVES
Then listen close to me—
