This entire article is nonsense. The name Brandon is a version of the Irish name Brendan. Though Brandon may be a place name in England, they are all named after the Irish Saint as are other places throughout Europe such as Brandenburg in Germany. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.206.133.4 (talk) 16:52, 18 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This article is incorrect

The English Brendan is an Anglicised form of the Irish Breandán. This Irish name is derived from the Old Irish Brénainn.[2] This Old Irish personal name, (pronounced [br'ēn-in'], is derived from a borrowing of the Welsh language word breenhín, meaning "a prince".[3] Both the English form, Brendan, and the modern Irish form, Breandán, are based upon the mediaeval Latin form Brendanus.[4] According to one old Irish text there are 17 saints with the name.[3] When used in an Irish sentence it can take the form Bhreandán e.g. A Bhreandán or ..do Bhreandán. Variation of the Irish Breandán are Breanndán, Bhreandán and Bhreandáin.[1]

Category:Given names with negative perceived cultural associations

Bookworm857158367, the WP:ONUS is on you to justify content. There is no mention in the article of any "negative perceived cultural association" with the name, and your edit summary of "Negative associations with the meme qualify." is meaningless. There are no inclusion criteria listed for the category. There is no mention of a meme in the article.

Pretty much every name should be in the category, so, because I can find you a villain, criminal, or "negative perceived cultural association" for every name - real world or fictional - probably, except newly-invented Tragedeigh names. Bastun^{Ėġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ!} 11:30, 14 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
