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.

Do you know what is worse than not getting a personalised gift shop pen?
It's a gift shop pen with almost your name on it.

Too similar to Brenda and may get shortened to Bren then people will assume Brenda. Not my cup of tea.

Think of Brenna getting a pen with Brenda on it, or Lilly getting one with Lily.

God no. With all the beautiful Irish girls names.

... out there it seems a terrible shame.

I think someone will hate whatever you choose & you should try to take opinions for what they are....but that said Brenna is pretty horrific. I don’t think I’d even use it on a dog. It sounds like a good twin name for Bertha.

It's pretty easy to get personalised stuff these days. Not a reason not to give an uncommon name!

Mrstwiddle · 05/02/2019 20:57

Don’t do it...your child will not thank you, it is far too similar to Brenda.

JenniferJareau · 05/02/2019 21:00

Tbh I'd think you couldn't pronounce the name Brenda.

I like it, I’m Irish living in the north of Ireland and I know two. One spelled Breanna and the other Brianna

It is nice - I did read Breanna when I glanced at the title, though.
