Which spelling do you like better? Brody or Brode? Middle name Ryan or Patrick? Please help-can't decide!

There is no conetest here- BRODY!!! Brode or even Brodie just look strange. Brody Patrick is my choice- I love that!

Like the others, I much prefer Brody, but there really doesn't seem to be a contest here. As an Irish name, I honestly can't comprehend choosing to spell it Brode, since the ending "e" wouldn't say "ee" ... Brode would be pronounced BRO-da. Just like the Irish names Grainne, Ailbhe, Fainne, Aine, Caoimhe, Ide, etc. are GRAWN-ya, AL-va, FAWN-ya, AWN-ya, KEEV-a and EE-da, not GRAWN-ee, AL-vee, FAWN-ee, AWN-ee, KEEV-ee or EE-dee.


I like both mns, but slightly prefer Patrick visually. The Ys in Brody Ryan look a bit cluttered (probably just because we're used to seeing random Ys everywhere, but it still leans me toward Patrick). ;)

Brody looks much better (to me). Also, I wouldn't use the Brode spelling for the separate reason that people might mispronounce it with the e as a silent e, i.e., rhyming with road. I like both middle names equally. Good luck with your decision.

Brody ... I would have mispronounced the other spelling.

Definitely Brody not Brode (which I would pronounce as though it rhymed with rode/road).

I think I like Brody Patrick best, but Brody Ryan would be fine too.
