I have a son named Brayden. yes, one of the infamous 'den' names. Out of all of them though, I do like Brayden the best and it was like the only thing me and the SO could agree on.

now, we had a pregnancy scare recently and we both realised we LOVE the name Harrison if its another boy.. (we're not pregnant, though) and I was wondering if Brayden and Harrison sound really weird together as a sibset or if we could get away with it? we have no idea for girl names other than the fact that I love things like Lily, Lucy, etc.

oh btw, Braydens full name is Brayden Ryan Gough-Jopek. the Gough will be dropped if me and his father ever get married.

I think brayden is one of the worst ones of the aiden set. but harrison is nice.

everyone has there opionions of course :) i don't like it much now that i know a lot more parents and therefor a lot more braydens.. but i wasn't aware it was so populaur when i gave birth.

[ohhvelocitygirl.livejournal.com]

this girl I knew when I was pregnant ended up faking an entire pregnancy and birth, and her "baby" was brayden ryan roberts" so that's probably why the name leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

[fangirlism]

She faked a pregnancy and birth?!

I want a kid (and fairly soon) but that's too much.

Now this I would like to hear more about. Crazy.

I think they sound fine together. Harrison will always remind me of the tv show, Popular, which is not a bad thing. I think it's a cute name.

[veiledd.livejournal.com]

to be honest, we actually heard it on the show dexter and we both fell in love with the name. my boyfriends a history buff so the old fashioned-ness of it spoke to him i guess ha

I think Brayden and Harrison sound pretty funny together. One is super trendy and the other to me, seems really old and I freakin' hate the nn Harry.

[veiledd.livejournal.com]

thats how i felt, too! like one was too modern and ne was too old... we don't want them to sound super weird together. i don't like harry, but then again i don't like brad either and that could possibly be a nickname for brayden when hes older, too.

This.

I actually think Brayden and Harrison are both really trendy. They seem like they fit into the same category to me. Hmm.

[thejoysofjess.livejournal.com]

Agreed. Brayden for the aidan trend and Harrison for the "last names as first names" trend.

[aquilinum.livejournal.com]

Yeah — Harrison also sounds trendy to me.

[sallymn.livejournal.com]

They're both quite trendy here in Australia, so sound fine to me...

[lovetherobots.livejournal.com]

I think Brayden and Harrison go just fine together as a sib set. :)

[hwar.livejournal.com]

I think they sound good as a sibset, actually. Harrison makes Brayden sound a little less fluffy, and Brayden makes Harrison sound a little less stuffy.

[bettybites.livejournal.com]

I loooove Harrison! :)

[nothingtolose19.livejournal.com]

I think they sound fine together! :) I sort of like Harrison, and I'm not a big fan of Brayden, but they're both names, and spelled normally, so. :)

[nobodynomore.livejournal.com]

I love them together. Not necessarily a fan of Brayden, but I think it sounds nice with Harrison.

Harrison is what my hubs and I are planning to name our child if it's a boy :) I find out Friday!

[solitudete.livejournal.com]

I think they sound fine together.

[spaceandclouds.livejournal.com]

I think they go well together! Harrison is really nice.

[sittingsage.livejournal.com]

I think they sound fine together. I saw that you posted about not liking the nickname Harry and that your SO is a history buff and it made me think--what about the name Hayes? Or you could possibly get away with Hayes as a nickname.

[cremepuff.livejournal.com]

They go well together, in my opinion. Lucy would be cute for a girl!

[how-obscure.livejournal.com]

I don't particularly care for them as a sibset, but if it's what you love and can agree on, go for it. There are worse things than a mismatched set of names and most people here seem to think they go fine anyway. Oh, and I really like the name Harrison.

[beepandetch.livejournal.com]

This is hard because Brayden is one of my least favorite names and I really love Harrison. Although I do agree that Harrison would tone down the trendiness of Brayden. I also love the name Harris which would make a nice nickname. In conclusion I think they would sound fine together.

[laminy.livejournal.com]

Brayden is trendy and pop[ular, and I think Harrison is on its way to trendy and popular, so I think that stylistically, they fit, but also, I just think they sound good together. I like it.

Brayden was my first favourite -ayden names I still like the sound of it. My preferred spelling was Braeden, but I dropped it from my list when it got too popular.

[mela-chan.livejournal.com]

I like them together. I knew a Harrison growing up - he was always Harrison, no nn - and he was a great guy. I love that name.

Braden and Caden are my favorites of the 'Aden' names. ^_^

[gipro2003.livejournal.com]

I think they sound fine together. I LOVE Harrison.

The Aidan names aren't all bad, they are just way to trendy for my liking. I actually like Aidan and Caden is a GP of mine.

[taleofaredhead.livejournal.com]

I love Harrison. In all honesty, I don't think it goes at all with Brayden, but if you love the name, it probably shouldn't matter.
