Bryndal and Bryndalou /brɪ́ndəl, brɪ́ndəlú/ (female, male)

Each of these elegant, gendered names work perfectly alone, but if you find yourself blessed with boy/girl twins, you may just want to use them as a pair. Both names are exquisite, with notes of Randall, Brenda and Cindy, though there seems to be some confusion on which name goes with which gender. The name’s creator insists that ‘Bryndalou’ is the male version, but if the numbers are any indication, the rest of the country doesn’t agree.

“I think Bryndal likes me, but I’m worried Bryndalou will beat me up if I make a move.”
