    First of all...No one owns a name. It's ridiculous to be upset over a name that other millions of people have used. You aren't that unique. Variations of Bryn, and names ending in lee/leigh are very popular. So silly that there are 3 people immature enough to fight over this. 

    If you love it that much, no, I wouldn't change the name. I guarantee you that in life you will meet others named Brynlee, and it's not a big deal. 

    If you are still on the fence, and want an honest opinion on the actual name, go post on the baby name board. They will be very honest with you.

    You declared it on Facebook? So now no one else can ever use that name?

    Yep, can't claim a name. This Brinley, Kinley, Kinsley, Tinley phenomenon is the new Braiden, Aiden, Jaiden.

    At the end of the day it only matters if you like the name enough to still use it. Your daughter will obviously meet a lot of other Brinleys - all spelled differently to make this "unique" name more creative. After they are all born no one is really going to care/notice of "who used the name first" it won't matter.

    Bottom line - if you still love it, use it. If this is going to bother you find another name but know that there is a good chance someone will use that name too.

    My SIL used my favorite girl name on her last daughter a few years ago. I was annoyed since she knew the name is a family name on my side but really in the grand scheme of things it's not a big deal. I got over it pretty quickly after I realized how silly the whole thing was. If you must have the name keep it but it wouldn't be worth the headache to me and I'd find a different name.

    My daughter's name is Catherine.  My Dad's cousin, who I tend to see once a year at my home town's Memorial Day parade, has a little girl named Catherine.  This baby will be a Charlie.  I'm pretty sure the same cousin has a son named Charlie as well..oops!  We have similar taste in names, I'm not going to get upset about it, I doubt they will.  I say name whatever you want and yaboo sucks to the rest of them. 

     

    That said, you seem a little overly upset about this.  Have a cup of tea or glass of wine, sleep on it a few nights, I promise it won't be so bad later.

    Those are totes the rules!  So listen up ladies, no one else can ever even think about using Brynlee!!!  (Thank goodness.  Honestly, the OP is doing a public service here.)


    I should have known. Facebook makes everything legit.

    To add I understand being upset, I have been upset over a sibling using a obscure name even though I never told them I likes the name. It was completely random. It sucks.

    But at end of the day, you either decide you like it enough to use it or move on and find a new name. There is no use in being long term upset over it. It's a common thing and there are worse things than having the same name as someone - it won't impact your daughters life.

    That was fast. No one said you should leave. You're mad because no one thought that you were justified in claiming a name and then rushing to put it on fb so your friend would be the "copy cat"?

    If you love the name, go with it. No biggie. And you sure are going a little overboard on the freak out. No one hear has called you a name or been rude. Just told you straight up something you probably didn't want to hear.

    I don't even know why I wasted my time. Should've spent that time looking for a funny GIF. Lesson learned.

    Dramatic much? You asked for opinions, and you got them. Also, who called you a name? Because I didn't see it posted on here, are you sure you're not arguing with yourself and blaming these wonderful, helpful ladies? Just wondering...

    @kjensen1975 .. Well.. I didn't see that post and I think this is the official "dibs" post, plus I don't even know if I'm having a boy or a girl yet (my A/S is Thursday) so CLEARLY I should be able to call ALL the names..ever.. ;)

    Also just out of curiosity what is you girl "p" name? :) (With total admittance that if I like it, I may add it to my list..)
