My name is Brontë, it’s pronounced Bron-tee and I am a male. Only met one Bron-tay and her name was spelt Brontê.

The pronunciaton is also "brahn-tay."

The e has 2 dots above it (umlaut or diaeresis), not an accent. An accent (like a tick) would mean it was pronounced AY (as in cafe). The umlaut means it is pronounced and not silent - as in Chloe and Zoe. (Sorry my keyboard does not allow me to put it in). Without the umlaut it would simply be pronounced Bront. Andie McDowell is right! I saw this movie 20 years or so ago and had completely forgotten it (maybe it was in my subconscious). I named my daughter Bronte because she came to me in a dream and introduced herself to me! I love Bronte Beach and I love the Bronte sisters (have visited their home in the Yorkshire moors). And we are not bogans! Sometimes we call her Brontay for fun but mostly it's "Beautiful Bronte!" She is 8.

My name is Brontë and I personally think that it is hard for people to pronounce it, especially teachers. I always get Brawn-tee instead of Brawn-tay when it clearly has the accent on top of the E. Therefore, I think that Bronte is not a Bogoan name, I think it is a highly sophisticated and old name that has a lot of history. It is not Bogan.

I think Bronte is said BRON-tee, but Brontë (which I personally prefer), is said BRON-tay.

Pronounced 'bron-tee'( short 'o' like in hot) in British English.

I know a girl named Bronte and she pronounces it Brawn-tey but is always correcting weirdos who pronounce it Brawn-tee. Brawn-tey sounds so much better than Brawn-tee, which reminds me of a horse noise or something.
I also thought it sounded manly to be a girls name but all the Brontes I've met have been girls, probably from the Bronte sisters' association.

I have seen it pronounced Brawhn-Tee but more often pronounced Brawhn-Tay.
