Bryony- gone off it?

DP suggested Bryony a few weeks ago and I immediately loved it. However I mentioned it to a friend a few days ago who said it's basically Brian with an "ee" on the end. I have no issues with uni sex names or even "boyish" girls names (I really like Brynn and Ryan for example for girls) but Brian isn't exactly the nicest male name!

I can't get "Brian" out of my head now. What are people's general thoughts on the name? Is anyone here a Bryony or has a DD Bryony?

It reminds me of Kath and Kim, where Kim calls her friend's baby "whiny Bryony".

I'm not a fan of it, honestly.

I'm like you...reminds me of Brian.

I like names such as

Robin
Rose
Tabitha
