Brin
What do you think of Brin as a boy name? It means juniper in Slovene and I like how it's soft and a nature name.

Is it used as a name in Slovene? I'm afraid that to me it just looks like a typo for Grin, and I'd go the Bryn route if I had to.

It’s ok. I like the sound but I prefer the Welsh spelling of Bryn.

I like Brynn for a girl. I never thought of it for a boy.

I just checked the popularity of Brynn in the US and England and Wales. Over here it is strictly a male name, I had no idea it charted as a feminine name in the US!

Too reminiscent of "brine" visually. Be prepared for a lot of anglophones to misread the name as that at first.

I'm used to seeing it as Brynn. I know of a few (older men) with the name and it's used as a name in the British TV show Gavin and Stacey.I like the sound.
