What are your thoughts on Brady & Sabrina? Is the br thing too much?

I like both names a lot. Sabrina is one that has really grown on me over the past few years. I think it's classy yet spunky -- my favorite qualities! Brady is a long-time favorite of mine (it's a family surname) but unfortunately the trendiness really bothers me. I feel like it's appeal is tarnished by all the super-popular -aden names, including Braden nn Brady. However, if the trendiness doesn't bother you, I still think Brady is a wonderful choice.

The shared "br" doesn't bother me at all. If we were discussing two names that both started with "Br", like Brady and Brenna, I would definitely say it was too matchy. But given that the "br" in Sabrina buried in the middle of the name, it doesn't leap out at me all.

I have always loved the name Brady, but recently it has become extremely popular in New England, due to the almost-perfect record of the New England Patriots, led by Tom Brady.

I think it's fine ... I wouldn't have even noticed the "br" thing if you didn''t point it out.

I think Brady and Sabrina work well together, and the -br aspect is a non-issue for me (and I really dislike matching sounds or repetitive sounds in names, so that's saying something)!

Sabrina is really, really lovely. I like Brady, but as other posters have mentioned, it is getting a bit trendy. No big deal if it's the ONE you love, but if you like others just as much it could be a factor.

I think Sabrina is LOVELY, and I have a little bit of a soft spot for Brady, but one of my best friends has a 17 month old named Brody.


I don't think the -br- is an issue. I like both names, and even though they seem a little different in style, I do like them together.


Did you say that Brady will be Braden nn Brady? If so, will Sabrina be nn Rina, or something else maybe? I think if there is a nn, it could be even less of an issue. Just a thought!
