Spelling Help

Sorry I'm back again ConfusedEmbarrassed

I thought I was truly done with this board! But I'm back because I'm debating spelling.

I originally wanted to go with Briony. I thought it 'looked prettier'. DH is strongly for this spelling.

But I'm changing my mind and now want to use Bryony. For 2 reasons: firstly, I think it tells a person how to pronounce it - we won't get an interpretation of 'bree-oh-knee' like we would with the 'i'. Secondly, it is the original spelling, it's a plant name, and it is the 'proper' spelling.

WDYT?

    While I'm not a fan of the name, I'd go with Briony. I've never seen Bryony before.

    I don't see how anyone would pronounce Briony "Bree-ony".

    I think of the character in Atonement where it is spelled Briony.  Bryony looks really weird to me, even though it is correct for the plant.  I would never pronounce it Bree-ony.  It's like Orion, the constellation.  It's always Or-eye-on, not Or-ee-on.  I'd definitely go with Briony.  It's a lovely name!

    Me too.  I like the Bryony version, if that is truly the proper spelling.  I'm not usually a fan of multiple y's, but it that's how it's supposed to be spelled, go with it.
