Brianna

[FairfaxAikman]

Was struggling with girls names but DH suggested Brianna. Pronounced Breeanna.
I like that it's unusual but not unheard of and the shortening of Bree is pretty too.

What do you think, yay or nay?

Sorry but I just think Game of Thrones. Think it would date very quickly.

My name is Brianna. People in the UK seem to look at me confused when I say it. Starbucks writes 'Rhiannon' nearly every time. That said, I don't mind the name, get a lot of compliments on it, and it doesn't sound annoying when shouted on a playground!

I am Irish and live in the US and the only place I've heard it is in the US where it was quite popular for girls who would be mid-late teens now.

mcgoogleismename your name could be Dave and Dtarbucks would still mess it up.

Brie Bella is amazing. She’s a Brianna... married to a Bryan now I think about it...

I know a Breesha which is similar (if you like Bree as a shortened version) but never met a Brianna. It’s ok-nothing wrong with it.

Sorry but Bree (Brie)

Brie Larson is a Brianne. I don’t know if she’s amazing or not. Just interesting that these high profile Bries pick that spelling rather than Bree. Maybe they just love cheese?

When shortened, I write Bri. I tend not to go by the nickname because of the (delicious) cheese though!

Sorry, I can't get behind a name that reminds me of Brians and cheese.

Beautiful name xx
Also like Bryony and Brittany

The first thing that comes to mind is that it's an American name. Whilst you may say it has Celtic roots, most people will think of it as an American name.

I don't think it's particularly nice- it seems like the feminine version of Brian and the nn Brie is cheese...
