My name is also Brittneigh and I pronounce it 'Britt-nee'. There are two ways of pronouncing the name depending which one you prefer, the above comment about her friend, her name is Brittanee and they pronounced it 'Britt-nee' also, not 'brit-ta-nee'.

Brittany is pronounced brit-nee. Like Margaret (marg-ret) the A is silent. Overall I think it is a beautiful name and much better than Britney.

This is not pronounced Brit-nee without the a because then it would be britney but it has an a in it so it is pronounced Brit-tan-nee WITH THE A, wherever you come from it has an A! No excuses and the people with this stunning name will find it offensive to be called britney after britney spears, britney is a chavs name so god get it right!

My best friend's name is Brittany, and she shortens it to Britt. I personally pronounce the name "Brit-a-nee" because saying "Brit-nee" reminds me too much of Britney and I dislike that name. My friend actually pronounces it the "Brit-nee" way; I don't think it bothers her which way people say it!

Will you change the pronunciation to add "BRIT-a-nee"? This is how it would always be pronounced in the UK. I think in an American accent it is easier to slur the sounds together and get "BRIT-nee", and even in an English accent if you're speaking quickly. But said carefully, it's pronounced as it's written. It's like saying that Stephanie is pronounced "STEF-nee".
This name is fairly rare in the UK - most people would think of the region of France just across the Channel, home to so many rainy camping holidays! Or Brittany Ferries! It's certainly never been half as popular as in the US.
I really like it - there is something vaguely Celtic and ancient about it, but also contemporary, which is completely lost in all the spelling variants. Luckily I don't think of Britney Spears at all. Because I pronounce them differently!

As others have said, Brittany is the English name for the Breton region of France, and it is pronounced Bri-ta-nee. It is absolutely not pronounced Brit-tawny or Brit-tah-nee. What you're doing is a bit like me saying I'm going to pronounce 'armchair' as 'AH-ma-Kahrah' or something because I think it's pretty. If you can't pronounce a name properly, don't give it to your child!

Actually, there is another pronunciation. Brittany has 3 syllables. BRI-TAH-NEE
Unlike the no talent clown from Louisiana. Britney (BRIT-NEE)

This is my name, however it has always been pronounced Brit-ta-nee. I prefer to have the 'a' pronounced, and I know three other Brittany's who also prefer this.
