| 46.1 | Brendan's a great name !!! | 3270::FAIRBANKS | | Thu Jan 15 1987 14:54 | 3 |
| I had a son 9/18/86 and named him Brendan Mulcahy Fairbanks. I
had picked out the name when I was 4 months pregnant. Brendan is
not all that common, but Mulcahy (a family name) is rarer still.

| 46.2 | That's what we had thought | HUMAN::BURROWS | Selma Burrows | Mon Mar 02 1987 21:01 | 18 |
| We thought Brendan would be an uncommon name when we had
our first boy in June of 1981. We have since run into or heard
about a dozen Brendan's (including the variants such as Brandon
and Brendon). This does not count the Brendans encountered
in such circumstances as the time at Walt Disney World when
I called out to Brendan to come back and three others came
as well followed closely by a parent. All four had been born
within a year of my son.
We had named our son after Saint Brendan from Ireland who
supposedly crossed the Atlantic in a leather boat. Our
"Dictionary of First Names" by A.J. Kolatch lists Brendan
as a variant of Bran. Bran is "From the Irish 'bran', meaning
'a raven'. In Celtic mythology, the god of the nether world".

My name is Brendan and I am happy to see others with the same name,
No one that I know of has this same name. I'm glad that others
have researched this name. The book that I looked in stated that
Brendan was from the Irish meaning little raven.

| 46.4 | Another Brendan Michael... | TALLIS::BASTINE | | Wed Sep 07 1988 09:16 | 10 |
| I just had twin boys, one of whom has been named Brendan Michael...
My husband and I picked the name Brendan when we were on our honeymoon in
Niagra Falls. We went to Skylon Tower for supper one night and the
elevator attendant opened the door and his nametag was staring us in the
face..."Brendan"... we both commented on it during supper and decided to
name our first born son Brendan.... so we did, but we didn't count on
Cory... he was a bonus!!

| 46.5 | Popular name? | PARITY::LANGR | | Thu Jan 12 1989 21:08 | 3 |

I really like the name Brendan . . . is it really becoming
that common?
|
| 46.6 | Still a possiblity... | QBUS::MITCHAM | Andy in Atlanta | Wed Mar 22 1989 10:09 | 9 |
| Well, my wife _still_ swears by it and, now that we've got one on
the way (due in Sept, barring any unforeseen circumstances) there's
a 50% chance that there may be one more, at least in Atlanta...

(btw, we went to WDW in '88 and Brendan was still there though he's
lost a little more hair. You should have heard my wife: "You remember
us -- we're the couple who was going to name our son after you...")

| Almost forgot to reply to this topic. Well, there's another Brendon in
this world now (wife changed the spelling again -- Brendon, not
Brendan).
Brendon Michael Mitcham was born 14-Sep-1989 @5:11pm. 7lbs, 12ozs,
22-inches long. He's a strong one and has quite the temperament (just
like his mom and dad).
