Baby Names

Bronte

I work with a girl named Bronte, it took me a while to realize this was her first name, I thought they were just calling her by a nn or her ln. It's nms but was curious what others thought as i have never heard it before, I did find it on behind the name though.

  • I know a girl named Bronte, she is about 23 years old. Her NN her whole life has been Bronte-saurus! She likes neither her name nor her NN. She is TRYING to get a new NN/name in peoples heads as an adult. She is trying to get people to call her Roni...........which she doesn't love , but likes better.
  • I get where it comes from, but couldn't they just have named her Elizabeth? Bronte sounds horribly harsh for a girl.

    I had to double check, I was only aware of Emily and Charlotte.

    Gasp! Don't forget Anne! I LOVE The Tenant of Wildfell Hall.

    I love the Bronte sisters' work, but not Bronte as a fn for a girl.

  • I don't care for it. It strikes me as trying too hard to be unique, as well as trying too hard to look smart/educated. It wouldn't surprise me if that girl's parents have never even read the entirety of a Bronte sisters' book.

    I was too immersed in Austen to read much of the Brontes.  I liked Jane Eyre ok, couldn't make it all the way through Wuthering Heights.

  • I like it, definitely unique. I like that the author is linked to her.

  • I don't like it at all.

  • Hate LNs as first names and super obvious literary names.. makes it seem that the parents are trying too hard. If they loved one of the authors, they could use a character name or one of the FNs... which were really common and would not be directly tied in such a way...

     

  • As a literary nerd, I actually really like it.
  • It's a name I have on my list.... for a future dog.  I wouldn't name a person Bronte.
  • It's on my long list. It's probably more of a guilty pleasure name for me, but I love it.

  • I've never personally met a Bronte but I've actually heard of someone with this name. I kind of like it.

    I don't think this sounds feminine at all.
