What comes to mind with Brae?

[anteater]

Are there any associations with the name Brae and do you think of it as a girl's or a boy's name?

Really struggling to find a name we like and this one appeals to us but I always like to check there isn't someone in a soap or kiddies programme called the same thing.

Thank you

'Ive never heard it before, so have no association with it . I'm not sure if I think its masuline or feminine, I think its one of those names that would suite either gender

 

[xjesx]

I have a feminine association with the name.


One of my female students' name is Braelyn.

Love it.

Bree is very girly

Bray ive never heard but sound a bit more masculine to me

I'm in Scotland so I have associations with place names (like Braehead or Skara Brae). I can't really say that it sounds particularly feminine or masculine to me, probably because I've never encountered it on a person.

Pronounced Bray

Brae itself sounds incomplete to me.

Braelei, Braelynn

Brayden

Cheese, the first thing to come to my mind was cheese.

Sorry but I just think of the noise a horse makes - bray!

 

[clynn11]

I think of the sound a horse makes too.

Cheese because of brie
The sound a donkey makes

I don't associate this name to anyone/anything. It isn't feminine/masculine to me. But I do agree that it sounds incomplete. I have a friend whose son is Brayden, she calls him Bray.

There is a place near me (in Ireland) called Bray so I think of there, I think it could suit a boy or girl but the noise a horse makes did pop into my head too, although im sure if I knewa kid called Brea it wouldnt have ..I met a little girl called Breya the other day and loved the name, maybe you like that ?

Definitely a girl's name. Absolutely gorgeous. It makes me think of bracken, but that's not a bad thing.

It makes me think of the cheese Brie, sorry.

I'm not 100% on whether it sounds feminine or masculine, I think it could work for both. But I think the spelling Brae looks feminine.

Hmm, I quite like the name Bracken too, but don't think I would be brave enough to use it.

By the way we know we are having a boy so it would be Brae (Bray) for a boy, not 'bree'/'brie', which sounds more feminine to me.

It's either Brae, Barney or Monty at the moment????

 

[A132429]

I prefer Brae to Barney and Monty

 

[pinklightbulb]

It makes me think of a donkey sound too Sorry
