A friend of mine is having a baby girl. She likes the name Brenda. What do you think of that name?

Question

She wants Brenda Samantha. I think Brenda is a little old fashioned though. I don't know any Brenda's.

Answer 1

I REALLY dont like that name!..no offence but it sounds really bad. Kinda old too. but as others said, it is her child and her decision! Lots of luck to her!

Answer 2

So old and definatly not in my favourites list !

And she could name her..

Samantha Brenda if she has to have brenda in the name

But no its a horrible name sorry =D

Answer 3

It is an old name, and does not go well with Samantha

Answer 4

Brenda is an old fashioned name.  I have an aunt with that name.  I can't say that I'm really very fond of the name, though.  It doesn't have that feminine sound.

Answer 5

I don't like Brenda but at least she doesn't want to name her baby one of the stupid made-up names so many people are coming up with these days.

Answer 6

Not my favorite name, not my child

It's a fine name, even if it's not your child

Some people come up with such strange things to name a child, that a name you do not like, is okay

Wait until someone gives you a name that your reaction is please do not do that to your child

Answer 7

Brenda sounds a little old fashioned and dull. Is she likes the name so much she can use it as a middle name Samantha Brenda maybe or she can use names that somewhat sounds like Brenda such as Brittany or Brandi

Answer 8

I agree, Brenda sounds like a 90's name to me.  I guess it reminds me of 90210.

Answer 9

I think Brenda is old-fashioned. She is able to look online at top 20 names something more like Maddison, Abigail  

Answer 10

I dont like the name Brenda. As you said it is too old fashioned. And i dont like the way Samantha flows with it either. They both end in a sounds and it just doesnt sound right.

Answer 11

I HATE the name Brenda. It's my name and I hate it!!!! It's hard to picture a little baby with that name. I kind of like Samantha though.

Answer 12

I understand that Brenda is a bit old old fashioned but it's still a very elegant and pretty name. I do not think that Brenda Samantha flows well at all - unless it sounds right with the last name.

Brenda Michelle

Brenda Kate

Brenda Nicole

Answer 13

That is my mother's name so of course I love it! Her name is Brenda Joyce. I like old fashion names but that' s just me!  

Answer 14

It is too old fashion.  Its my mother-in-law's name

Answer 15

It might seem a little old fashioned but I think it's really cute. If she wants a more modern spin on the name what about Brenna? I think Brenna Nicole would be a really pretty name.  

Answer 16

I have a friend named Brenda, and she hates that name. She goes by Bree, which I think is cute.

Answer 17

It isn't my style but I think it's fine. She will likely be the only one in a room full of Emma's and Hannah's and that is a good thing.

Answer 18

i like the brenda but not the samantha.

brenda lee?

brenda renae?

sumpn shorter in middle

Answer 19

I think it's an adorable name. You don't hear that name much anymore. It's very pretty.

Answer 20

I think it's okay.  Not a name I would pick for my child, but if your friend likes it... nothing you can do about it.  

Answer 21

My friends name is brenda. i agree its a bit old fashioned however if she is set on the name you should let her.

Answer 22

I think Brenda is a little old-fashioned and dull, but it is her baby, and there are plenty worse out there!

Answer 23

Yeah, I think it's old fashioned too.  I'm not keen on it myself.  Samantha Brenda would sound better.

Answer 24

It makes me think of Beverly Hills 90210.  It's an ok name.

Answer 25

Brenda sounds good.
