[Opinions] Re: Basil or Bram

I'm not worried about trends because they come and go rather quicly. I typically like names for either their meanings or history. Whether ir not it starts with a Br isn't really a big deal to us. Bree and Bram have a very different feel to me even though they start with the same two letters.

Perhaps you should reveiew your first comment towards me...you stated your opinion on the names in a very negative way, which is fine...you don't like some names and I don't like the word "like" being used in that fashion. I simply stated my opinion just like you did yours. No snark, just honesty. Thanks for the feedback!

Hmm, you're right. Usually people aren't asking about baby names here, just our opinions on them, so I gave you my gut reaction. (NB: I did not ask for your opinion of my word choice...)

I should clarify that I actually like Basil a lot. It's made my far-hypothetical shortlist a few times. But it is kind of funny in a goofy, steampunky way. I think Bram, which I find ridiculous phonetically, would wear better in the real world, if you're talking about a hypothetical child and are on the fence. But I'd rather use Basil any day.

Thanks for your opinions. Have a great day!
