PP here: OP don’t listen to those people saying this is a Trump name. You shouldn’t listen if they said it’s a Biden name either. It doesn’t matter what other people think, if you and your partner like it, go for it. People will adjust. It is definitely a strong name.

Sure, people will adjust to disliking it in private rather in public as in this anonymous thread.

OP, people often recommend trying on the name for a few days to see how you would like to have it. Maybe you can refer to DH as Bronson for a week and see how you like it?

I get that as a parent YOU want something a little different. I assume you want your friends to think you're super cool to have made up such an unique name. It is a dumb name and will make him stand out in a way that's totally beyond his control. Please think about what your future child might want. Think about how it is going to feel to have to correct people when they mispronounce his name or say it with that upspeak "am i getting this right?" tone. Or respond to the inevitable "like Charles Bronson...?" question. Think about the way you are likely to raise him and who, based on your family and traditions and expectations he is likely to be (and yes, I know we may never get most of that prediction right) and ask is a "different" name is likely to suit that likely personality. Giving a kid a different name isn't going to make him special -- the way you raise him might.

NP here - it is not a made up name. I have no opinion as to whether it's good or not but it's not made up. Rather it's English and been around a while. If you are going to light the OP on fire, maybe get your facts straight.

How about Edward Bronson? If kid has a big build, big personality, he has a stand-out middle name. If kid is quiet, or just wants to blend in, he can choose from Edward, Ed, Eddie, or Ward. Very versatile name.

Bronson Grey is not a great name. Neither is Gray Bronson. Who wants to be "gray?"

How about Harden or Hayden or Hayes?

Did you conceive him in the bar in Ballston?

I think I like Greyson Bronze more than Bronson Grey.

OP, don’t use Bronson if you have a nephew named Lawrence or Larry!
