Brynn

I would prefer it as a nickname or a middle name, because I find it a little mundane on it's own.

This is more masculine in my opinion. I know my friend has a friend who's a male that has this name.

I love this name on its own but it can also be a great nickname for Brinley, Brianna and Beatrice. This name is elegant and sweet as a full name or nickname. Hope this helps :)

Amazing. I prefer Brinn, better with the y, more unique and cute!

I adore this name, it's simple and sophisticated in a friendly way and there's something soothing about it when said. Overall a wonderfully lovely name. I like it best for girls but it could work for a boy too.

My name is Brynn. It gets confused with Bryan a lot. I learned to get used to it. I think it is very unique, you are more than likely not going to run into a person with this name as well. I like seeing the struggle of people trying to pronounce it the right way, it is funny. Although you may have to use a fake name at Starbuck's, this name is pretty. I think it goes well with my middle name, Isabell.

I’m a 15 year old girl named Brynn and I love my name! I don’t care if people hate on my name just because it’s popular and trendy. I think my name is really cool and sweet!

I really like this name I think it may be confused with Brian, but I still love it. I like the name Brynn Louise best.

Simple and pretty. It would make a good middle name.

I really don’t see the appeal.

Strongly dislike!

I prefer Bryn.

I don’t like it but I like it way better than Brynlee/Brinley. My cat's name is Inklila Brynn who we call Inky.

My name is Brynn and I love it. When I meet people they say OMG that's so pretty! #PARENTS OF PARENTS.

To all you haters hating on this name; it is absolutely lovely, and amazing. I know someone with the name Brynn and she is the best most wonderful person who cares for people and loves everyone. And it is not masculine, names are changing all the time and so is the world SO CHANGE WITH IT! Come on people, adding ONE "N" isn't gonna kill any of you or any of your tiny brain cells!

I’m a female and my name is Bryn. It’s definitely not as bad of a name as some, but I live in America where the “correct” spelling is Brynn. I just let people spell my name with two n’s because I really just don’t care, lol. I kinda wish I had a normal/classic American girl name instead of a Welsh boy’s name, but oh well - it’s not like it’s going to last me my entire lifetime. Oh wait….

I agree it is truly beautiful. Y'all are haters.

Brynn is truthfully such an inspiring name. I love every Brynn I meet. It's feminine and Brynns happen to be gorgeous. If you name your child Brynn they're going to be the best person you know.

My name is Brynn, and I’m a girl. I love my name, it makes me feel unique. A lot of people complain saying that it should be for boys and it’s spelt with one N but I believe that you should be allowed to call your child whatever you want, no?

My name happens to be Brynn and I'm female. I've enjoyed my name very much and I've never met another Brynn in my life. So to all the ladies who think it's trendy it's actually uncommon, also when I was named my mother was just looking for unique and spelt it with two N's, not a big deal. Names are botched and changed all the time. The only problem I've ever had with my name is to the uneducated people who pronounce it Brian. Honestly, it's not that hard.

I love this name for a girl! It's soft and just sounds nice. I know of 5 girls named Brynn.

My name is Brynn. I am a woman and I am 51 years old and I live in America. This is not a modern name. I was named after my uncle Brynning, which is a Norwegian name. I love my name. It has become a family name and is my niece's middle name and my granddaughter's middle name.

This is a current favourite of mine, I think it's so cute and sweet :) This is the name of my protagonist.

It doesn't sound bad at all, but it's so plain that I would never want to use it. Still a solid choice for a female.

My name is Brynn, and I'm a boy, so it's truly unisex. Nobody really gives any thought to the masculinity that the name gives. I love the elegance and beauty that it presents, yet that strong, powerful "B" just gives it a kick. I love my name and I honestly couldn't ask for anything better!

I think Brynn is a gorgeous name. I like the simplicity of the name. I do not understand why some people have such a problem with the idea of a name being used on one gender in one country and the other gender in another country. It makes me wonder what they are so afraid of. It is not the end of the world if a boy in Whales named Bryn shares a name with a girl in the US named Brynn. They will likely never meet each other.

I like this name though no longer think it is unique. Add it to the list of other trendy names used here in the States. The fact that it is of Welsh origin and used primarily for boys in Wales and girls in the US is fine by me. Please just get over the fact that you think you picked an unusual name. You did not. Just a pretty one.

This name frustrates me so much for many reasons.
1. Why do people feel the need to change the spelling of a name from another language. It's spelled with one N not 2 (why are trendy people obsessed with adding unnecessary extra Ns, it doesn't change the pronunciation).
2. Why is this name classed as English (modern)? It's WELSH. Adding an extra N to seem cool doesn't change the origin.
3. It's not modern, it's been used for years in Wales.
4. It's certainly not a girl's name. It's so masculine. I'm from Wales, and I know multiple old men named Bryn. It sounds hideous for a girl to me.

I think people need to research this name before naming their American daughters a Welsh boys name.

A girl I know named her daughter Brynn about 14 years ago, I'll have to say at first I didn't like it much. I think it was just so different, but 2 years ago my sister had twins, a boy and a girl who is named Brynn Alexandra, and I simply love it! It has so grown on me and it fits her so well! We call her Brynnie. She's so sassy and I love it!

We'll hopefully be welcoming our Brynn Abigail today, 6/6/15!

I have a Brynn Abigail (born Jan. 2008). I love this name and love that while not being too unusual/strange, it's also not super popular.

I think this is a nice, short and sweet name. I wish DH likes it!

My name happens to be Brynn, and I happen to get comments on how beautiful my name is quite often. My mom named me after the actress Brynn Thayer, and knew she was going to name me that from the moment she heard it. I'm only 18 and although there aren't many people my age with that name, which I like because it is unique, the name is becoming quite popular. It originated as a Welsh name for a male, but became very modern in America by adding the extra "n". I find American styles and European styles of names very different, however I respect both. I have had many people / teachers / trainers name their children Brynn because they loved my name so much. I have never heard anything negative about my name, and I personally enjoy how unique it is.

My daughters' name is Brynn and I think it's the most beautiful name for a girl. It's a strong name yet very pretty, which describes my daughter. I'm not even sure where I heard the name Brynn. But as soon as I heard it I knew it had to be her name. She gets a lot of compliments on her name, I think in part because it's different, but again, beautiful!

I find this name to be a nice name for a girl or boy. It is NOT cheap, and just because it's modern doesn't make it ugly or harsh. I like the name Brynn a lot!

I don't mind Brynn as a nickname for Bryana, but as a girl's formal name: no.

I totally LOVE this name! It's actually one of the characters in one of my many, many ongoing novels. There's also a girl at school with this name. She's talented, pretty, confident, funny, smart, kind, and is the glass-is-always-half-full types. Brynn goes on my top name list!

Surprisingly, I love this name. I usually detest made-up names that sound like they belong in a paperback sci-fi novel. This one, however sounds classy and simple- like a combo of Brooke and Winnie.

It's sophisticated without trying to be :) Brynn's growing on me...

This 'name' looks like a tacky masculine combination of Brian and Flynn. Although the spelling Bryn is much nicer, I would never consider using either name on a real person.

I like this name. It's very soft and sweet-sounding.

If I ever have a daughter, this will be her name. This is my absolute favorite name and I do not find it harsh in any way. No, This is NOT a cheap name just because it is modern! It is a beautiful name and very feminine!

I love this name! Strong yet sweet, simple yet pretty. I think it would be a much better choice over the similar sounding Lynn.

It sounds so incomplete. I prefer Bronwyn/Bronwen.

Eh, it's okay, but I don't much go for modern names.

Ugly, and there's too many consonants for me.

To me, adding a superfluous "n" to a masculine name does not make it feminine.

As a rule, any name listed on this website as "English (Modern)" is cheap, tacky and low class. Brynn seems to be no exception.

Although this name may sound masculine to Brit/Welsh ears, as an American I find it to be quite feminine and lovely. It's soft, fresh and modern, not harsh at all. I've met a couple toddlers named Brynn and they are adorable.

This name has a harsh sound to it that I don't like. It is also one of those modern, trendy names that make me gag. Bronwyn is much better--in sound and in meaning--if you feel the need to go in this direction.

This name is just plain ugly. Why would you even consider it?

I love this name. It's short, simple, and pretty, but not too girly in a child-like way. I think this name would be better for females, at least with this spelling.

I have always loved the name Brynn, so much that it's my daughter's name. Everyone I meets thinks her name is so pretty. When I first picked it, my mother-in-law said, "I hate that name, I'm not going to call her that!" But now she loves it, too. And we have yet to meet another Brynn.

I love the name Brynn. I heard that it means great heights.

I don't really know why, but I really like this name. It has a strange appeal to me. It sounds cute for a little girl, and could definitely grow up with her throughout her life.
