Brenna, what do you think?

I heard this name a few years ago and fell in love with it. What do you all think? It's not very common but it has been around a long time. I'm Irish and google says there are Irish roots for it but yet the only person I know named Brenna is a girl from England.

Jeez, I was expecting 50/50 as I know names aren't liked by everyone but it's more 75/25 against at the moment. I loved it as soon as I heard it but am a little nervous using it as I'm not really looking for an obscure name that everyone thinks is odd

To me it's a very ugly name - sorry.

My neighbours dog is called Brenna Grin

It’s not the nicest sounding name, but nor is it the worst. So if you love it, just use it. There will never be a name that 100% of people like!

Sorry I'm not keen

Looks like a misspelling of Brenda to me

Nonameyet1 · 03/02/2019 18:13

No! Sorry.

MollyHuaCha · 03/02/2019 17:46

Not the best name I've heard today.

Soubriquet · 03/02/2019 17:45

I’m not keen either but it is entirely your choice. Your baby.

As long as both you and your partner are happy with it

I don't like it but my opinion is neither here nor there.

I like it. Unusual but easy to pronounce. I read a book series with a character called Brenna but not met one.
