Brownlow Names

Last night, instead of watching the Brownlow Medal count for the beautiful (and sometimes disgusting) dresses, I decided to make a list of the unusual names among the AFL football players.It was interesting to see that most AFL clubs had one or two original names appearing on their team's list. I think this shows just how diverse names are!

Here are some of the names I listed (in no particular order):

Alwyn
Bernie (a possible modern-day alternative for Bernard)
Bradd (this version of Brad would mean your son would have to spell it out to everyone!)
Brady
Brock
Bryce
Chance
Cyril
Dane
Danyle (alternative spelling for Daniel. Again, you'd have to spell this out to everyone)
Dayne
Farren
Jade
Jobe
Jude
Kade
Kepler
Lenny
Mitch
Rhyce
Setanta (although as outlined in my previous post, I'm not a fan of boys' names ending in 'A'!)
Tarkyn

Or you may be inspired to name your son after his father, just like this year's Brownlow Medallist Gary Ablett Jnr. However, this naming method is more common in places such as America rather than Australia.

Love,
