Bronwyn

McKenna81 · March 2009

(Or Bronwynn). It's a Welsh girl's name. Thoughts? Anybody ever heard it used?

never met anyone with the name, but i really don't like it.

I knew a Bronwyn in HS. She was really odd and never wore shoes. So that name is ruined for me. Although, it is NMS anyway.

It's really NMS. I just have that feeling if you choose this name, people will end up calling her "Brownie."

Haha...It's funny how those associations stick, isn't it? Plenty of names are slightly tainted for me for that reason.

Well, we'd mostly call her Wynn -- it's an old family name. So hopefully we'd avoid any "Brownie" business.

How about naming her Gwynn or Gwenyth so you could really avoid "Brownie" business? You're still incporating the "wynn" part. Sorry for the you-neek spelling.

Never heard of it before. NMS

I've heard this name a few times before. I think it's ok, definitely has a more upscale feel to it. I don't like it's meaning.

Yeah, "white breasted" or something? Kinda blah.

There's a woman on food network that always wins the cake competitions named Bronwyn Webber. I like it a lot.

I've met one. It's OK.

Corinneallyson · March 2009

I like Welsh names...but avoided them because I thought she would always be "that girl" in school. I think it's too far out there.

I love love love Bronwyn. I always have. I read Highland Velvet by Jude Devereaux when I was 13, and fell in love with the name. I think it's beautiful, and is a natural for the nn Bryn. It's been on my short list forever, but we have two girls names already on deck, so unless I come up with triplet girls, I'll never get to use it.

Ooh, Bryn is such a pretty nickname, too! I had been planning on using "Wynn," but Bryn is lovely alternative.

A former principal that I worked with was Bronwyn. ?Love it! ?She was the nicest most thoughtful person ever!

I knew a girl in the 6th grade named Bronwyn. ?She was a really pretty brunette who was a cheerleader. ?She moved away after the 6th grade. ?

I read it in a book once (can't remember what it was called) and really liked it. As a matter of fact, at the time I remember thinking it would be a cool name to use for a future baby girl. :-)

MadameFancyPants · March 2009

I have a friend named Bronwyn. I've loved the name since I met her, but I couldn't seem to sell my husband on it.

wewillservehim · March 2009

That's my sister's name and she doesn't get nicknames, people have tried Bron or Bronnie but to no avail when she tells them no thanks

I think it's a neat name.

JLW10 · March 2009

Never heard it, don't care for it.

jessawakawaii · March 2009

I went to school with a Bronwyn, she was one of the nicest girls I've ever met, plus she was salutorian of my graduating class.

vanceandlori · March 2009

Never heard it used... different. Doesn't really sound like a name, IMO.

Well, as I've mentioned in my posts a few times on here, I'm a huge fan of Welsh names so I love it. In Wales, I think Winnie is a common nickname for Bronwyn. Compared to some of the crazy ass names people are coming up with, I think it's pretty darn nice lol.
