Girl name spelling

amh51207

DH and I are considering Bryna for our daughter's name. I've only ever known one Bryna and that is how she spelled it, but we are debating between "Bryna" or "Brenna". Thoughts?

Brenna.

Bryna makes me want to say "bri (like in bride)-na."

This for me as well. But then Brenna reminds me of Brenda and I would probably call her that accidently.?

I would say Brenna or Brynna.

I'd pronounce it "Bri" as in Britain.

Brenna.

Bryna would be pronounced like Brine-uh. Stick with Brenna, which, sounded out, is how I believe you want it to be pronounced.

Bryna and Brenna are pronounced two totally different ways to me.

I know a Brenna and her name fits her well.  She pronounces it Breh-na (with Breh like Bread). Bryna sounds like Bri-na (with Bri like Britain)

Depending on the pronounciation you want would determine how it should be spelled. You don't want her to have to correct people her whole life.

Loove Brenna! I know a little girl named Brinna, she was sweet so I have a good association. GL!

ditto this exactly!

I would use Brenna.  As someone whose name has a half dozen different spellings, and no one ever spells it correctly, I much prefer traditional spellings.  Especially for little girls...girls want things with their names on it, and unless you special order everything, she's never going to find stickers or a key chain, or whatever it is that she wants with the spelling Bryna.

I agree that Bryna and Brenna have different pronunciations. I prefer the pronunciation of Bri-na (with Bri like Britain), but I was worried that with Bryna people might call her Bri-na (as in bride). I like the suggestion of Brynna - thanks!

Bryna makes me think it's pronounced sounded like "China"

My 4 y/o DD is Brenna. I love the name and all variations of it!

Brenna, it looks better than Bryna.

sprice88

I think Brenna looks better. I see Bryna and want to say Bry-nah

Honestly i like it with the Y and 2 N's better: Brynna.  Probably because i love the name Brynn.  i've never known a Bryna and don't love Brenna. 

Normally i'm a "i hate Y's" person, but i think it belongs in Brynn, and by extension Brynna.

I agree. I like the spelling Brynna much better.

I thought you were asking if you should name her Brinn-ah.  If you want the sound of Brenna, spell it Brenna, otherwise, no one will ever say it right.

Bryna looks too confusing to pronounce. I like Brenna a lot -- it is my sister's name!

Brenna

Bryna may get mispronounced

Brenna is pretty.

Agreed, and I like the sound and look of Brenna much better.

I think they are both pretty, but...

Bryna and Brenna are two different names. BRYN rhymes with tin. BRENN rhymes with ten.

fwiw, I like either Brynna or Brenna, but they are not the same name.

You could also go with Brinna though I think Brynna looks better

This. Bryna makes me read it brine-uh.

I don't have strong feelings towards either one. 

Rocknmama

If you want Br-in-a I would go with Brynna or Bryna. Another reason I would use Brynna is my DD's name is Brynn.

Brenna makes me want to annunciate it with the "en" sounding like the "en" in the beginning of "enter".  Br-en-ah

Hope I haven't confused you.
