Did I hear that right?

VampyAuthor

A good friend of mine is having a little girl. I asked had they thought of names and she said they are settled on a name already. When I asked what it was, I kind of thought I didn't hear right. When I asked again - nope I heard it right.

Their little girl is being named...are you ready for this?

Britta Cadence

ETA: I should note...all I can think about is the water filter.

ashnoelle

that does seem a little unfortunate. 

IrishBrideND

NMS at all, but I actually know TWO britta's.

 

 

KKM

I like the name Britta

Princessn678

I can only think of the water filter too. LOL. Poor kid.

MCMoo23

It's totally NMS either, but I do know a few people with the name. 

One spells it Brita and the other is Britta.

I agree..I think of the water filter.

I don't mind it, I think it is pretty. I think it is odd that you're picking on her daughters name when your daughter also has a very uncommon name.

OP: I'm not making fun of your DDs name AT ALL, but yours is more uncommon. Brita, I believe, is ethnic of some sort.

No, just another way of spelling Brileigh/Bryleigh, we liked the "lee" ending better because its my own middle name.

"Brileigh" and "bryleigh" aren't very common though are they?

I don't dislike uncommon names, so I'm not saying anything negative (for the record)

sorry...couldn't help myself hehe

Brylee, however you spell it, is much more uncommon than Britta...at least around here! I've never even heard the name Brylee before. 

I actually really like the name Britta.

IrishBrideND

haha.

 

OP: i'm really not trying to be nasty, I promise.

I know, IB.

I know a few Brileighs.

With Britta, all I can think of are the water filters. It's just NMS.

Ciconrad

It's not what I would choose, but I don't think it's super odd though.

bobbyme

I think it sounds German or Austrian. Esp. if pronounced 'Bree-ta,' in which case it reminds me of Brigita in the Sound of Music.

Community's chicks name is britta and when i heard it yes i thought of the water filter but i really really like the name!

BurnNurse

I think its cute.  And not to be a turd, but Ive heard  of more Britta's than Brylee's too.

ToBeMrsT

I think Britta is a very nice name.

it is, isnt it!  when i read it, i totally thought of the water filter but i watched every episode of community without ever making that association.

I LOVE the middle name

 

lljns

I know of a few Brittas.  I think it really is a lovely name.  I think because I kind of know people with that name, I don't automatically think of the filter.

And, I will also agree that I think Britta is much more common than your DD's name.  I have never heard her name or any variation before (not that there is anything wrong with that name either).

jessface926

its not so bad, but I do have to admit that I automatically thought of the water filter.

I know a Britta. Britta is a popular shortening in Sweden of the name Brigita and Brittas is a village in Ireland.

It was a name long before it was a filtration company.
