[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op again. We’re still deciding on a middle name. Leaning towards Bronson Grey.  We want something a little different.[/quote]

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.[/quote]

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.[/quote]

Maybe you should get your facts straight, nitwit.  Bronson is a relatively rare Anglo-Saxon [b]surname[/b].  It's a pretentious wild west romance novel name for a kid who grew up in BFE, but his mom liked it because it's klassy.[/quote]
