DH is really set on naming our girl Brandy Summer. It flows nicely with our last name (starts with B and ends with man). We'd like to keep the name a secret from family and friends, but I need some advice.
I like the name and I like the flow, but something's just wrong for me. I think I'm fixated on the fact that it literally means liquor. We do not want anything mainstream or remotely popular and this name definitely fits that criteria, particularly in our area.
I've known at least one other Brandy in my life. She was a childhood friend and I liked her so that's not it. Something's just off.
Comments?
Re: OK I need opinions
I was actually thinking this also, especially when paired with Summer. I actually love the name Summer though.

I'm not sure what's off to you, but I don't like the two names together. Is it the first name, middle name, or both together that it's sitting right with you?
Either way, I think you should talk to your DH about it. If it's not sitting right with you, it's not the right name.
I like Summer. Not a fan of Brandy.
And together...well, its pretty bad.
Agree. IMO Brandy Summer sounds like a stripper name 100%
it sounds like new competition for arbor mist! both are nms but i would definitely change one of them so you aren't mixing two word names.
fun fact: my mom is from a small town and one of the girls she went to high school with named her daughter brandy gin. klass act.
Brandy is so dated. I'm 26, and it would be like meeting someone my age named Linda.
I also associate it with trashy girls I knew in Georgia. I'm sorry!
This. I hate to flame a name, but this makes me think of drunk hippies. I think one or the other, but not both together. Sorry
