Brinley?

[willajon]

What does everyone think about this name? I've never heard of it before and quite like it for a boy or girl. Thoughts?

I'm not keen , sorry.
How about Brynn for a boy, or Finlay instead.

Nope. sounds like a town in Yorkshire

Not my cup of tea and makes me think of Brindley place.

What about Bryn?

Where does it come from? I've never heard it. I'm not sure about it to be honest.

My friend's DS is called Brinley, I've never met another. I like it.

Sounds like a breed of dog or a cat colour.
"Yes this is Alfie, he's a brinley terrier"
Sorry 😐

I'm not a fan sorry. It sounds too place namey for my tastes.

Is it actually an existing name? Never heard of it. Would expect a lifetime of explaining and spelling the name.

That's something I would name a dolphin. Definitely not a dog, cat or baby name!

I like it! For a boy

Hahaha no

It's spelt Brynley and it's a Welsh name.

Bryn is a common Welsh name-wouldn't be met with laughter and certainly not mistaken for a dolphin...

I like it, have only come across it as a Welsh name (brynley) but if you're in England the I spelling is maybe easier for people to guess the pronounciation.

Eh? Is it made up?

It does sound a bit like a town near Elstow.

It's not made up, just an alternative spelling of a Welsh name.

I think it's quite popular in America. I know a Brynlee (girl).

I prefer Bryn.

I know a Brinsley

I was at university with a male Brindley (with the 'd' not a typo). I think it is a name, just an unusual one. He always got shortened to Brin.
If I heard it I would assume the bearer was male

No not keen at all

I like it, for a boy.

it definitely is a real name, apparently a surname originally?

I quite like it, reminds me of Buckley which I really like.
