The Olympics is a treasure trove of "interesting" names, though I try not to judge most of them TOO harshly...differences in culture and all.

However, I HAVE found one name that I do LIKE...one of the Australian divers.

Briony


WDYT?

Heh, I find a couple of weird names watching the Olympics: Brent (sounds like Brett + Trent) and Lleyton (prn like Layton)

I prefer Bryony like this (original spelling, I believe), but only for girls anyway.

Haha... Lleyton is another Aussie, and I have heard of Brent here in Australia too. Out of all the many countries in the olympics how come everyone's picking up our names as interesting? :p (just kidding)

Its funny, isn't it? Those names don't make me batt an eyelid.

Is Brent unusual outside of the USA? I've heard it everywhere, but I rarely leave the country.

During the last Winter Olympics, I saw an Italian ski jumper named Giacomo and named my dog after him. That's as much as I remember about the skier.

It's funny that you find Brent weird, because I've known a guy named that my whole life, so it sounds normal to me! :P

(For reference, I'm Canadian lol).

I'm from Atlanta and I went to school with several Brents. I didn't know it was unusual.
