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 went to school with a make Brynley, NN Bryn. I like it!

We have a little theatre in our town called 'The Brindley', and it makes me think of that.

Actually quite like it ! x

I like it. I like both spellings, too.

This was my grandad's name (shortened to Bryn). He was Welsh - in fact had to learn English when he started school. It's a lovely, lovely name - I admit tinted by memories of a most wonderful, gentle, proud and hard working man - If I'd had boys I'd have loved to have used the name xxx

No!

Makes me think of tinned tuna

I know someone called this. Male, age 39. Since being a child always known as Brin. I like it and have never heard anyone else with the name. There is a chef on tv Bryn Williams but his is spelled differently.

It's definitely a real name and it was my Grandfather's name! It was spelt exactly like that, rather than the more traditional Welsh way of Brynley. I like it.

My Mum had a friend called Brinley. I like the name.

Sounds too much like Brindley Place, area in central Birmingham with canals, bars and restaurants.

I like it though to me it sounds like a boys name.
