Bryony?

[MarjoryWhinfield]

What do you think?

I quite like it

Love it

Not keen, sorry.

I know a grown-up Bryony and she's lovely and she suits her name.

i love it. And also Briony.

I really like it.

I know of a 40-something Bryony and it sounds so refreshing.

Love it, it's my best friend's name

i hate it, sorry. sounds like brian-e.

Sorry dont like it.

I love it and it would have made my shortlist if DH had been as keen as me. In my opinion it sounds pretty and feminine.

I think I prefer the spelling Briony, but either way the name is v pretty.

Lovely, it was on my short list and also by coincidence my niece.
Who is totally adorable.

Don't like it as sounds too much like Brian.

Love it, one of my good friends is called Bryony. It works for any age.

I like it! I was going to be called that & when I tell people my name was almost Bryony they say 'what? Brownie? Briny??'

Love, love, love

I found it hard being the only Bryony at school, I was desperate to be Sarah or Amy like most of the other girls! However, as I grew up I really liked having a classic but not too common name. I do love it now :)

(and If you're saying "Brian-e", you're not pronouncing it correctly!)

One of my favourite names

One of my favourites too.

I was nearly Bryony. I'm not. My mum changed her mind at the last minute. I always feel I had a lucky escape!

I know of a Briony, named after a male relative Brian, so that's how they pronounce it.

Petunia how else would you pronounce it?

Oh Kindling do you know me? Is this child named after two male relatives?

Dd1 says to tell you that Bryony is not a good name because when you go to gift shops they never have anything with your name on it. You should call your child Amy or Beth instead. They always have Amy and Beth keyrings.

We pronounce it Brian-ee. I didn't know there was another way althou some people call her Bri-on-ee. With emphasis on the 'on'. She gets very annoyed by this.

I like the name. Are those all the possible spellings? I somehow feel the spelling could be better .

We spell it wrong

I felt similar to you TSM. I though it was either to y-ey or to vowel-y so we spell it Bryonie. Which just adds to her pain because on the very rare occassions she does find something with her name on (this happened only once) it is spelled Bryony.

Christmas cards are interesting. We get the correct Bryony, Briony and also Briannie, Briany, Breeonie, Brownie , Bryanie etc.

I like it :)
