TBH, I don't care for the name or the spelling. It's also very much a little boy name, it doesn't suit a grown man.

Michael Bryson as a full name sounds good, like an author.

I think bison. Sorry. But if you love the name, use it. I don't know any kids with that name. (I know a Bryce. He's 12)

Curbs12

Personally, I don't like the name. But if you do then go for it!

I guess it's the sound? I'm not positive. It's just the first thing that came to mind. It's definitely not a made-up, you'll have to explain it every time you say it name. Which is good!

I think of my friends son Brycen ... I like the name

I like it. It does remind me of Bryce and I think that would be a cool nn.

It reminds me of Dyson. Cause I love my vacuum. It also brings to mind ricin (poison). It just looks/sounds made up, which is NMS.

My nephew is named Bryson Alexander and I personally don't like the sound of it because IMO it sounds a bit made up...like you were trying a different spin on Tyson ...that being said, I like Bryce on it's own. I guess I'm not really a fan of the boys names ending in "son" (Bryson, Tyson, Emerson, Grayson etc) their meanings are almost all "son of _______" so unless your husband is named Bryce I think the meaning is strange.

I think two posts about your kid's name in one night is a little over the top.

I agree with others that it sounds made up. I don't like the way it sounds.

Of course, it doesn't matter what we think. It's your kid, name him what you love.

I think people are too harsh on here. If you like it, you go with it girl ! I think it's a beautiful name

honeybeee3

It also reminds me of a vacuum. Sorry! I love the name Michael though

I like Bryson. But I'm a fan of surnames as first names, like Smith, Parker, etc.

He will be called bison though.

BookitBoo

I really doubt he will be called bison unless he displays unfortunate bison like tendency, such as foraging the scrub for snacks or head butting friends on the play ground.

My little sister (Millie) is not called Millipede or Milimeter despite any similarity. I do call her Millie Moo, but that is entirely because of a cute baby book I read to her on command for 3 years.

All of this Bison stuff also assumes kids know exactly what a Bison is I only know what they were because we had a small herd of them outside of the town I grew up in.

I think its a perfectly good name. NMS. But you know to each their own

I like the name Bryson. I don't think bison when I hear it, and I can't see a lot of kids knowing what bison even are depending on where you live. Also kids might call him by a nickname like Bryce or Bry anyway.

emilynyc2cali

Makes me think of the humor writer Bill Bryson, who is fantastic!

llbne

I live in a country with neither bison or buffalo and I know what they are. With bison/Bryson the pronunciation is SO close that it seems crazy to me that anyone who has ever heard the word bison would not make the association. Aside from that, these -son names are just not my style (Grayson etc), but there's nothing wrong with this one in particular. I think it will 'date' your son as a 2014-15 baby since this style of name is very popular right now, but there's not necessarily anything wrong with that.

Two posts about it in one night? Really? One was a simple yes/no. I didn't know we had limitations on what we could post.
And yeah of course I could care less in the end, he's my kid and all that matters is what his family thinks. Thanks!

You're being an AW with the two posts, and you specifically asked for people's opinions, only to say "I don't care what you think!" What you should have said was "Please tell me you love this name even though you don't because I desperately require validation, and I will turn into a petulant child if someone dares to disagree with me." Okayyyyy.

The name is nms because it is pretty trendy right now.  I grew up with a popular name (1 of at least 3 in my graduating class) and always had to go by "Firstname LastInitial", so I try to avoid names that are really popular in my area at the moment.  There's nothing wrong with the name, though.  Use it if you love it, it's not unusual or misspelled.  It somewhat makes me picture a country music singer.

I personally think of bison as well and I live in the Southern California desert. But at least people don't think of butthole or ballsack. It's not a big deal. I missed most of the first page, so apparently I missed the catty- ness. Good luck on naming your boy. I believe Nene Leaks' don in his 20's is named Bryson. It's a fine name- especially if you like it.

**son, not don.

You come on a public forum asking for opinion on a name you like and fully expecting that some will like it and some won't. Then you go about "if you don't have anything nice to say then don't reply to my post at all" as in if people don't fancy your chosen name they shouldn't respond ?? Did you expect validation or honest opinions?
Your logic is flawed... You came here asking for opinions and you got some, if your expectation was "I want everyone to LOVE my name" then maybe you shouldn't have posted?

My apologies... I forgot to include my OPINION. Personally, not my cup of tea. It does sound like bison and dyson. BUT, your baby your choice. Best of luck to you!

If you think these ladies are being cruel you'll be surprised how cruel elementary schoolers can be about other kids' names.

FFS...another person that wants to dictate how people respond to their posts on a public internet forum? Then takes it a step further by saying we all don't get out much and wouldn't be giving our (apparently catty) responses if we weren't "hiding" behind our keyboards?I think this marks off a couple of spots on my bingo card. 

How's this for a response - I think the name sounds made up and way too trendy...and I think if anyone is getting their panties in a twist over all this, its you OP.

ACTUALLY... I don't care what the rude commenters have to say. (You're one of them) If people didn't have anything nice to say about the name, don't say anything at all. I wonder what their and your kids names are. I'm sure they're THE BEST.
I'm sorry you find this online community SO important and crucial to your life that you have you have to monitor MY posts. Is there anyway to block people? You know the ones acting like "petulant" children themselves? It makes me chuckle that they can hide behind the safety of a computer screen and act tough. The validation of your panties in a twist due to having to act tough online is validation enough to ignore you now.

Yes, there is a way to block the posters acting like petulant children.

It's that little "X" button in the top corner of your screen.

If you didn't want to know what people thought of the name (I dislike it) you shouldn't have asked what they thought twice. That's an invitation for people to say what they actually think rather than only making positive comments.
