Branson for a girl?

unstuck6jb

It's already not popular for a boys name, but I'm curious, does it have a chance for a girl?  Would a unique and more girlish spelling such as Bransyn be even worse?  Please be honest...DH and I are totally stumped!  We are also thinking about Blythe, Amelia, Taylor and Anne!  Any other ideas?  It just can't end in a "y" sound because our last name ends in a 'y' and is two syllables so it just doesn't sound good!  Also our DS is Emmett so names like Charlotte and Violet are out and those are two of my other favorites!

Blythe! Gorgeous and very uncommon.

I'm sorry but Branson is TERRIBLE for a girl.

Branson is horrible

LOL!  Ok, I promise I won't name her Branson...or any other weird variation of that name!  I'm just hormonal and not thinking clearly!  I am also considering Elise, I forgot that in my aforementioned list.  I just have so many friends with daughters...all of the good names are taken!  I'm trying to use Anne or Elizabeth in there somewhere because that is my grandma and mother's middle names.  I'm just not sure about Anne Elizabeth or vice versa.

No. Branson is not a very good name for a boy and especially for a girl, and Bransyn is a zillion times worse IMO. I like Blythe, and I don't see why you really need to write off Charlotte or Violet. I'm assuming because they end with -et sounds? They're both beautiful names! Branson is just not even in the same league. At all.

I just feel like the -et sound is too much.  I love Charlotte so much, but I think saying Emmett and Charlotte together all of the time would be annoying.  Same with Violet sadly.  I'm seriously thinking Blythe might be a good choice...

Yeah yuck. No no no. Blythe Elizabeth is beautiful. So is Elise.

I like Blythe, how about Briar?

Branson is actually a town in missouri. I dont like it though.

I do like your choices of Bythe and Anne though.

Nooooo, it's baaaaaad! I'm not a fan of Blythe either but it's definitely better. I wouldn't worry about Charlotte... Violet sounds rhyme-y next to Emmett but Charlotte doesn't ... I don't think. Edited typo

Blythe all the way. Branson is bag, with a y is terrible.

I love love love Blythe. I won't comment on Branson/syn.

As you have been told, Branson is bad and Bransyn is worse.

I really love Elise and Amelia!! Blythe is nice too. Taylor feels dated and Anne a tad boring, IMO.

Looking at your entire list, Branson is the black sheep.

Branson is terrible. Love Amelia

I can't even discuss Bransyn.

 

 

 

Your other choices are so lovely, feminine and awesome.  Your daughter deserves one of those.  Not that last name, Downtown Abbey-inspired, trendy, male name. 

 

EDIT: Oh, I see you agree!  Yay!!  I love Anne like whoa.  Blythe also has this air of sophistication around it.  It's cool and different.  Elizabeth is always a win, in my opinion. 

Yep, this is my reaction too. I also really like Elise. You have so many nice girl names on that list that are not Branson/syn.

CallaLily25

Definitely no to Branson for a girl (I'm glad to see you agree!). 

I really like pps suggestion of Blythe. 

Anne is pretty, but I like Anna even more. So feminine and classic.

==N==

Branson/Bransyn should definitely come off the list.

Blythe is awesome!

Sorry I think Branson is terrible for a girl- I don't even like it for a boy.    All of your other choices are very pretty especially Blythe and Amelia

Seriously, Branson is the LAST NAME OF THE MALE BUTLER on Downton Abbey.

Wow, that is from left field considering your otherwise lovely girl name choices (well, I'm meh on Taylor but otherwise they're great).  I could accept Branson for a boy if it was a family name.

Yeah and he is totally trying to make it as upper class now. Give him some cred. I do love him, he's a little dreamy....  

Name is terrible on everyone.

Ah you're right! I was thinking Carson. *hangs head in shame*

ALL of this!

I also really like the very simple Anne.

WashingtonQueen

I cannot for the life of me figure out why it's even being considered.

blue+skies

No to Branson or any variation.

I love Elise, Anne, and Elizabeth. Elise is probably my all time favorite girl name but we can't use it. I would vote for Elise Anne, with Elizabeth Anne coming in second.

Explanation of how this even happened:  We were sure we were having another boy and we really liked the name Branson Patrick for him, so when we found out it was a girl we have really been stumped for a name.  It was my mother who thought we could do Branson for the girl still and I was just really wondering how crazy that was!  Glad to know it's totally crazy and not happening, so DH and I are really thinking hard on Blythe, Anne, Elise and Amelia.  I kind of wanted a name that was a little boyish, but so far nothing is working out for that.  I like Dylan but DH hates that for a girl.  Thank you for the feedback!  It's really helpful!

Blythe gets my vote! !

I like the other names you have picked out. 

Or how about...
Brenna
Brenda
Tamsin
Kendall

Ha ha,  sorry OP but no.  I live in Missouri and to everyone here Branson is a hokey, hillbilly tourist town.  There is just no way.  Especially for a girl and especially spelled Bransyn.

Horrible. Please don't.

It's so funny, I'm from Oklahoma and my good friend is from Missouri and she loves the name Branson!
