Original Irish pronunciation is BREE-ən. [noted -ed]
The proper Irish pronunciation of the name is: BREE-ən, not BRIE-ən.Here you can listen to how a native Irish speaker from Cork pronounces the name (scroll down a bit on the page): http://www.forvo.com/word/Brian/Here is another soundbit, at the very bottom of the page: http://www.babynamesofireland.com/b-names/b-names-for-boys.
The traditional pronunciation is Bree-in.
