Comments for the name Bryn

I really like the name Bryn for a girl. I have known a couple of people named Bryn, one was a boy and the other a girl. The name I really like is Brynlee which can also be spelt Brinlee.

Bryn Mawr College (the name means "high hill" in Welsh) located in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania.

Since the 1880's Bryn for a boy hasn't appeared on the top 1000 list. For a girl it appeared on the top 1000 list in 2004 where it ranked 914.

A boy I know is called Bryn, but it's shortened from Brynsley.

I knew a little girl with this name, and she was the most adorable little thing! I am also not certain whether her name was spelled Bryn or "Brynn". My favorite variant of this name is Brynley or Brynleigh. Very unique name!

Hey there I personally love the name as my name is Brynley, and I am an Australian male. A friend of mine also recently used the name for his son.

I know two people with this name, and they are both boys. I think this name is really cute and sounds really masculine on a guy. Although this name is interchangeable, I think Bryn and Brin are boys names, Brynn is a unisex name and Brynne is a girls name.

I know a little girl named Taylor Bryn, before I met her I'd never heard that name before. Now I think it's really cute, it fits her well because she so adorable.

It makes me think of the word "brine".

I love the variation of this name as Bryna. Beautiful and unique.

I plan to name my future son this, to keep the family's Welsh heritage alive. I think it's a very strong sounding name, solid too.

Lovely name, but I prefer the spelling Brynn. It looks prettier and more complete. I think the spelling Brin works bewst for males, and Bryn and Brynn for females. I don't believe in the magical feminizing power of the mighty 'y' like so many young people today, but somehow Bryn looks more feminine than Brin. It's a great name for both sexes.

There's a love song by the band Vampire Weekend called Bryn. A lovely name.

Bryn Terfel is a world-famous Welsh bass-baritone, known for his Mozart and Wagner roles. Also sang Sweeney.

This name is so manly. Have you ever SEEN Bryn Terfel?

Bryn is a male name through and through.

This name can also be derived from Old English, where it means "flame, fire".

I know someone on the Welsh border with this name (a MALE, as it were.) It's nice enough. Suits a little boy, a teenager and an adult, and an elderly man. Ages nicely. Any girls called Bryn in Wales will get funny looks, though. Just a warning.

American child actress Bryn Allen (born 1999 in Searcy, Arkansas, USA).

Probably one of the most unimaginative Welsh names out there for boys. 'Have you met my son, "Hill"?' And the idea that such a butch name could be used for girls? Only in America! :-P

I only like this name because it is Son by Lois Lowry, which is a GREAT book.
