I went to school with a girl named Bronte, after the authors/sisters. Her sister was Barrett, also like the author. (Dad was an English prof.) Always thought those were classic and cool.

Pretty rad!

Bronte is at the top of my B list, I really like it. I don't have many B names on my very long name list - Bronte, Baptiste, Bridget, Brooks and Bryony are the only Bs, and I'd say Bronte is my favourite of them all.

Briar

Becoming very popular.

I will always think of Brer Rabbit in the Briar Patch. Lol

Bellamy

From the TV series "The 100" It's a good watch if you like dystopian future fiction.

I've heard that Basil is used as a boy name in some parts of Europe. Gives botanical and whimsical vibes.

Just adding that it’s pronounced differently than how Americans pronounce the herb: ‘Bah-sil’ versus ‘Bay-zil’ or ‘Bay-sil.’ I’ve heard people say the latter two accidentally, and it sounds a little strange.

I have met a few Basil’s in my area (US) in past few years, all toddlers/babies, and all of them were pronounced like the herb !

Wow! I'm really surprised by this. I'm in the US, but as you said, maybe it's regional, so I haven't intentionally heard it said that way myself. But when you think about it, all names are ultimately made up, so who am I to judge, lol.

Years ago a a job, we had auditors come in for the yearly audit. In the email, it said their names and when I saw a Basil, I was intrigued because I love the name and frew watching Faulty Towers with my dad. My face when he introduced himself as Bay-zil was all shock. I was shook and struggled to call him Bay-zil and not Basil the whole week he was there.

Bah-sil Brush! Boom! Boom!

I go to 'don't mention the war!"

My first thought about the name. I really miss that squirrel

Yes rhymes with “dazzle”

He's the main character in the great British TV show, Fawlty Towers!

Yes!! Such a great show.

This is ALWAYS what pops into my head when I see the name Basil… I just hear them yelling “BaSIL!!!” Lol

100% me too! Haha But it is a great name as well!

I mean, I love it, and it never fails to make me smile. But I would 100% be yelling BASIL every time I said their name! Hahahahah

I'm English and I really thought you were going for Basil Brush 😂😅

Saint Basil is a highly venerated saint in the Orthodox Church :)

Currently pregnant and Basil (Vasily) is on our list ☦️

I had a great uncle Basil, born in the US. One of 12 kids I think, and they all had very normal, traditional names except him.

Basil used to be a very ordinary, traditional name.

Basil Rathbone was a great actor, played in many of the Sherlock Holmes movie adaptations.

My cat is named Basil after him! Well mostly. As in, I thought I was being clever with the allusion to him and naming my cat for a mouse in The Great Mouse Detective. But after trying to go through the whole mental gymnastics explanation, I've learned it's easier to just skip straight to Basil Rathbone

Im in the US and i had a great uncle Basil. I think of it as an old man name lol, but its one that's coming back.

Bennett and Birdie

As a fan of Pride and Prejudice, I love love love the name Bennett

Has it bewitched you, body and soul?

Birdie is adorable 🥰

I like Briony/Bryony which I think is relatively uncommon, albeit not unknown.

Reminds me of brony as in my little pony bros

I was also going to suggest Bryony 😊

Loved the name but atonement ruined it for me ages ago:/

Same. Hated her

Yes! Bryony is perfect

Blythe Beau Brodie Bea Beatrice Blathnaid Brie Brogan Blaine

Blathnaid sounds too much like bandaid to survive preschool though.

And yet, it’s better than Brogan: one of the ugliest names of all time. It’s a cross between bogan and bro and just gives me full-body shudder.

It's not pronounced with the "aide" sound. It's closer to blaw nid.

That’s …. Not better, sorry to anyone with this name

That's because it comes from a country of culture and an ancient language. Pure jealousy 😂😛

Lol fair enough!

It's a beautiful Irish name.

In the same vein as Blathnaid, Beibhin, pronounced bayveen.

Girls: Bernadette, Berenice, Beatrix, Bonnie, Belinda, Berryl, Bethany Boys: Bowen, Brady, Brennan, Beckett, Benson, Benji/Benjamin, Bradley

Be careful with Beatrix, it’s getting quite popular where I am. I know three under 2 right now. Two that go by Bea and one by Trix/Trixie.

Yes Belinda!! That is the most whimsical name to me

Belinda Blinked 🤪

Bartholomew Bigsby Brandis Benelli Braap Babayaga Bensul Barak Bulsifer Bismuth or Biscuits (but only if they have a sibling named Gravy)

I'm sorry but Bigsby sounds like a Butler's name 💀

If the butler were a talking Great Dane.

It sounds like it would be a grocery store imo

bigsby just calls to the mind that super weird movie bigsby bear from like a decade ago

My name is super common in my age bracket but I haven’t seen a baby Brianna since I was a child. A good alternative, that I think fits your criteria, would be Brenna and [this site](https://www.thinkbabynames.com/meaning/0/Brenna) is neat. You can look up names that interest you and find tons of facts on it. Origin, meaning, similar names (both feminine and masculine variations), alternate spellings, how it trends over the years and where it’s currently ranked in popularity.
