Brosna

[Mooshamoo]

I just started a new job, and a woman that I work with has the most beautiful name, that I have never heard before. I rarely hear a name that I have never heard before, but I def never heard this before. I think it so lovely.

It is Brosna.

What do you think of it?

I have never heard it used as a girls name but there is a place in county Kerry called Brosna. I wonder if her parents had a connection to it

It's a rural village in Co. Kerry, a relative had a pup there for years and I pulled many a pint in it, nice spot but I wouldn't call a daughter after it.

I think there's a place called Brosna in Offaly too.

I suspect a lot of people would hear Brosnan as in Pierce.

Awful name. People will just call the child Brosnan as in Piers or worse Bronson as in Charles (prisoner or actor) If you are considering an Irish name for a daughter and want a Br name have you thought about Brónagh? Or Bláthnaid might suit your taste

Brosna is a lovely name, especially if it has significance for the woman. Does she love her name?
I thought of Bronte and Dubrovnik for some reason and they are both beautiful.

I really like it. Her surname starts with B too. So her name is something like :

Brosna Brown.

I think it has a lovely ring to it.

@Eyerollcentral , that's Bronson not Brosnan

It's horrible, sounds like a war zone

Very nice

????

Lol it does - like a cross between grozny and Bosnia

How is it pronounced? br-oss-na, br-oas-na, emphasis on which syllable?

I saw the thread title on the RHS and first thought was has something happened in Brosna so clicked to see.

It is pronounced

Broz na

Dubrovnik - seriously!

Ooh I should have written the pronunciation as other wise people with think it is pronounced

Bross na.

The S is like a Z.

It is pronounced Broz na

BROZ-na or Broz-NA.

And how zzz-y is the oz?

It depends on who you talk to
Brus-na or Bros-na

Awful name. People will just call the child Brosnan as in Piers or worse Bronson as in Charles (prisoner or actor)

The prisoner and actor are Charles Bronson not Charles Brosnan

It's BROZ - na . The Emphasis is on the first syllable.

The Oz is pretty zzzy!. There is emphasis on the Z

I see Brosna listed online as an Irish girl's name. So I think that the place name has become a girls name

It defo hasn’t. Your colleague’s parents must have been going for a Brooklyn Beckham vibe. Never met or heard of an Irish girl called Brosna. Dreadful name.

Terrible.

Eek, I'm sorry but that is one seriously unattractive name.

Makes me think of Brosnan. I think Brosna is pretty ugly myself.
