Meaning and background
The story behind Brandi
Brandi is recorded as an English spelling variant of Brandy. The final i changes the written presentation, while the cited English pronunciation retains the same two-syllable pattern. That makes spelling preference an important part of this choice: a person hearing the name may naturally write Brandy first. For a dog, Brandi can work as a familiar personal-name style without needing a coat-colour explanation. If you do choose it for a personal association, describe that story directly instead of treating the name as evidence of the dog's appearance or temperament.
