I think Briony/Bryony is a beautiful name. I like the Briony spelling best (I have a thing against two Y's in one name), but I think Bryony is the most authentic spelling? I dislike random H's in names.I think the name is too beautiful to shorten. But I guess Brie (brye, not like the cheese) would be ok."But it’s all right now.

I really don't like Brhiony. It looks very messy. Bryony is the best way to spell this name, IMO, even though it's nms in general.

I think it's a very pretty name, although I prefer either Briony or Bryony and I refer it said br-eye-awn-ee instead of Bree-awn-ee, I do really like the name Bree, and I have seen it used by itself, but I really dislike Briana! :(Image hosting by Photobucket

Bryony is my favorite spelling. I like it. Not overly common, and not a bad name. Bree is also an excellent nn.

Bryony is one of those names that is slowing growing on me. I think it's very charming and slightly unusual. I can see this name making my top twenty in the near future.The 'Bryony' spelling is the only spelling that I care for. Also, I'm not particularly liking the nickname Brie/Bree. Bryony is the name of a plant and Brie is a type of cheese. The word associations with both names is preventing me from seeing Brie/Bree as a suitable nickname for Bryony.

I like it too, my Uncle's ex wife's name is Briony (Bry-owe-nee) and I also know a girl named Breeony (Bree-owe-nee) I like the Breeony name a little better but they're both nice. Breeony or Briony Katherine would be a good combo. :)Mum to Hayley Anne

Bryony is my favorite name for a girl and has been for ages. I LOVE it. I don't really care for Briony and Brihony is atrocious to my eyes, but that's probably because I love Bryony so much :-)
Brie/Bree is cute, but sounds like the cheese to me."Bob Loblaw's law blog."- Say that 5 times fast

I like the name Briony - spelled that way. It's similar sounding to Briallen, which I really like as well (obviously... lol)I've never met a Briony either or heard it on TV but I heard it somewhere because I know it... : this is going to drive me insane until I find out where I learned of it!:)
