Brighton (Brite-en) is a city in England, or Britain (how Britton is pronounced). 2 totally different names. Brite-en vs Britain.

Britton =/= Brighton.

Britton = Britain, as in Great.

agreed, but you like location names.  I haven't heard of either for a name - just locations.

I would say it like Britain.  If you added a y at the end, how would you say it?

As a teacher, I would say that the two t's in Britton leads to a short i sound, as the other posters have said.
