I'm related to a Wyn too. My family is big on their traditional Welsh names, clearly!

LadyPriggsbottom · 16/02/2016 13:33

I like Bryn but probably wouldn't choose it unless DP or I were Welsh.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 15/02/2016 23:10

I like Bryn. Never come across it before. Used to know a Wynn, which I always thought was pretty cool!

ConesOfDunshire · 15/02/2016 10:32

It's Bryn. Great name.

manicinsomniac · 14/02/2016 20:42

I like Bryn for a boy and Brynn for a girl.

WinterWinnie · 14/02/2016 20:18

I like Bryn for a boy and Brynley/Brynleigh for a girl

BettyBi0 · 13/02/2016 23:31

Bryn is great! My first thoughts weren't Gavin and Stacey but just Welsh

CeriBerry · 13/02/2016 23:29

My brother is a Bryn! I really like it. I'm in North Wales so nobody would bat an eyelid here. I know a few but not loads. Know more with it as a middle name. It's lovely!

Heatherbell1978 · 13/02/2016 11:08

I used to work with a Brynley which I really like. Other variations could be Finn or Blair.

Elllicam · 13/02/2016 11:01

I like it for a boy or girl.

Alisvolatpropiis · 13/02/2016 10:56

Brynn is a misspelling. It's Bryn. I went to school with one. Regardless of spelling I would always assume male.

Achoo123 · 13/02/2016 07:22

Brynn is a cool name. I like it a lot.

StarkyTheDirewolf · 13/02/2016 00:02

Bryn is on my list as a middle name. Dh is Welsh. I think it's lovely.

spongebob5 · 12/02/2016 20:35

You know it means hill in Welsh? I'm 37 & have lived all my life in Wales, the only Bryn I know is my elderly Uncle Bryn

VoldysGoneMouldy · 12/02/2016 20:30

I have a Bryn. One 'n' is the traditional spelling. I'd never even heard of Gavin and Stacy until DS was about three weeks old Grin It's been mentioned a few times, I won't lie, but not a big deal. Am yet to meet another Bryn, and DS loves his name. He has been called "Brian" on a few occasions, by people just reading his name rather than hearing it - but that's the cost of 'cre8ive' spellings being popular Wink

Fantastic name - I might be slightly biased but it's fab.

LBOCS2 · 12/02/2016 19:22

Isn't it Brynmor?

I have an Uncle Bryn. It causes me great entertainment.

chelseabuns2013 · 12/02/2016 19:11

Oh what's occurring Wink

FellOutOfBedTwice · 12/02/2016 17:54

I went to school with a very nice Bryn. But to me, Bryn will always mean "hill" Grin

Opinions on Brynn?

Love Bryn (never heard of a Brynn spelling). Even though I grew up in Wales there was only one I knew in our school.

We called our dog Bryn and he was aceSmile

Woodenmouse · 12/02/2016 17:26

I absolutely love Brynn unfortunately my surname is Bryan so it's never going to happen!!

NeedACleverNN · 12/02/2016 17:13

I once worked at a nursery with an after school club.
They had a boy called Bryn. I thought it was a girls name due to dark angel (the dad must have been a dark angel fan as he had a barcode on the back of his neck) . But it's nice for a boy too.

Luciferbox · 12/02/2016 17:06

I live in Wales and I've met some wonderful little Bryns. A great name.

Burgatroyd · 12/02/2016 12:27

Nice! Brinley for a girl?

DramaAlpaca · 12/02/2016 11:35

I quite like Bryn for a boy.

I think Brynn would be better for a girl.

Walshie123 · 12/02/2016 11:33

I'm not a massive fan, but Bryn is nice for a boy :)

I also don't mind it for a girl (that's probably because I know one!) she spells it 'Brynn' and I think that's better for a girl - so that people don't assume she's a boy :)
