I'm a big fan of this name! And for many, many reasons. I like it so much, I actually started a club. For one - it's just fun to say and can be shortened to Bri in a pinch. The Brianne I know is sassy, spunky, funny, happy, up-beat, beautiful, bright, curious, kind, thoughtful, imaginative, free spirited and thousand miles away - which is the only thing I don't like about Brianne. I know what you're thinking, just find one that's closer. Sorry I like the original. I digress. Brianne is timeless too; great for all ages. If you're looking for a name that rolls off the tongue and that people will always remember, this is the one.
This is the full name of singer/actress Brie Larson. Her most notable film credits include roles in "Sleepover" and "Hoot".

I prefer both Breanne and Brianne to Brianna, mostly because of the 'n' endings as opposed to an 'a' ending. (And I'm starting to like Francophone and French-influenced names more.)
