Heard it mentioned recently on here and wondered what people's thoughts are? I only know one Bryony who is 15

Always liked this name. I know 2, both adults.

I think it's beautiful! One of my sisters had a friend called Bryony, she'd be in her late 20s now.

I know three my age (early 30s) but none younger. I think it's a lovely name.

I love it. Reminds me of the book Atonement. Although I can't help but reading 'Bryan' in it which puts me off slightly.

It always feels like a very 'hard' name, quite 'big' to live up to for some reason.

It doesn't seem like the sort of name you could coo at a baby, that's for sure.

I know a Briony (and think I prefer that spelling, looks less like Bryan) who is her early 20's, and a 15yrs old.

Its a nice name that isn't used loads.

I had it on my list but DH hated it!

I like it, DD was very nearly a Bryony but we changed to something very similar atvthe last minute.

I like it very much. I think it is underused, and would like to use it for a dd. I like both spellings too.

It's a beautiful name. I actually suggested it on a thread yesterday.

I think it is a little dated, a bit like Megan and Nicole but it is still a good solid name. Slightly prefer Briony, less American.

a lovely name and I don’t know any Bryonies either.

It’s a bit dated and makes me think of Brian. I’m not keen.

I know its a flower name, but unfortunately sounds like a male name with y tagged on. Keviny Martiny etc

All bryonies that I have known have been blonde and fat without exception. Very odd coincidence. I just associate it with white Australians tbh, they are the only people I have ever known to use that name.

I'm not a huge fan of it. There is one in my 5yr olds class

It's a great name. I prefer the Briony spelling too.

I really really don't like it. Nor do I like Briony. It's an ugly name imo

Love love looooovvveee that name. Don't know any bryonys and never have met one in real life.
I'm really into both Blythe and bryony right now

Love it. If I'd have had a sister she would have been a Bryony. I'm a Holly and I've always thought they go well together!
