We have a boy name

[Faevantastic]

Brandon or Brendan?

I'm leaning towards Brandon.

middle name is Anthony (after my dad, he's gonna be psyched).

[katfco]

I would say Brandon, because every time he introduced himself, chances are people will think it's Brandon. I think it also flows better with your last name.

I think they are such different names. Brandon is as touch dated to me and more....American? Brendan is a little trendier and more Celtic diaspora. Lol.

I like Brendan.

[Beener]

I find Brendan awkward to say- it doesn't roll off my tongue easily like Brandon does.

[sunshineluv]

I like Brendon better, but Brandon's good too!

[kandrze1]

I like Brendan.

[lolaburns]

I like them both but lean towards Brendan. It seems more
Modern but classic at the same time... Fresher.

And that is my 110% honest opinion because I have a Brendan in my life that makes want to rage. lol But no other adorable little boy should not have a cool name because of him!

[dixeedeluxe]

I like Brendan/Brendon but I really love both of them!

[sunnysong]

Brandon. Brendan is good too, but I think most people will just end up calling him Brandon, and he'd have to correct people a lot.

[The Foozzler]

I like both. You have a tricky last name and I feel like they both go well.

[teamhayes]

Brendan

[teamhayes]

living near Boston where there is a high Irish population I think most little boys with that name go by Brendan. I actually haven't heard the name Brandon used in a really long time.

But like others have said they are 2 completely different names.

[silverjm]

I prefer Brendan, but i like them both.

[helicase]

I prefer Brandon only because I've never met a Brendan, so I would just assume the spelling was Brandon after hearing the name.

[abbypug19]

I prefer Brendan!

Agreed.  

I think Brendan is also the much more common pronunciation, but, like teamhayes, that might be because I'm in an Irish-heavy area.  

I also don't like the flow of Brandon Anthony as munch - the repeated "an" sound at the beginning.  

[melis74]

I really like Brendan.

This, Brandon seems like an older name to me I think.  Plus, Bren An flows better than Bran An to me.  KWIM?

[PatBenatar]

I like them both, but like Brendan a little more.

[Faevantastic]

You guys are changing my mind! I'm waiting to hear back from DH.

[TrudyCampbell]

I prefer Brendan.

Brendan.

[fusion]

another vote for Brenden I don't see the difficulty in understanding it.

[creamsiclechica]

I love Brendan Anthony! Especially with your last name.

[Deleted]

I prefer Brendan mainly because I knew a lot of Brandon's growing up so it feels a little dated.

[katie]

I prefer Brendan Anthony.

[carawestt]

Brendan definitely.
