Bryn or Elijah?

[ErikaMaye]

We've decided on a girls name, but if its a boy, we're torn between these two! Any opinions? x

They are really different names, aren't they? I'm welsh so Bryn has very definite old man vibes for me, but of the Derek variety rather than Arthur or Fred.

Elijah isn't for me either, I'm afraid. At a push I'd say Bryn.

Elijah, definitely (I like Eli)

or Nigel

Elijah.

Bryn

Elijah

Oh Bryn wins handsdown for me!

None.

bryn. lovely name. partic if you have welsh connections!

none bryn reminds me of the odd uncle bryn from gavin and stacey ha very odd he is ha hes the only person called bryn i know of though and same with eligha remingds me of eligha wood and hes a proper plonker ha xx

Bryn if you're welsh.

Nt keen on VERY Biblical names, sorry!

wow they are very different types of names !

Bryn means hill ,and is a bit bleurgh to me and old manish ! lol

LOVE Elijah,also Elliot,Ellis

Hi, I have a Brynley. Bryn was chosen by his nanna, but a bit too abrupt fo my liking so added the ley. I like Efram if you want an E beginning name.

There was an old shepherdy type fella on the news last night called Bryn. (He had witnessed the BMW driver going down a bit of a cliff cos sat nav told him to)
He was very old and country and had a magnificent beard!

Love both names!

I prefer Elijah but Bryn is ok.

Bryn is very manly. I like it! Elijah - lovely for a baby, but only good for a man with elfen looks.

Elijah is lovely. So is Bryn, but I think of it as a girls' name.

I love Bryn!

Bryn, although is a bit old mannish.

Elijah is just awful, imho.

Bryn is a lovely name and really suits my full of beans, not in the least bit old mannish, 4 yr old.

Elijah is fine too, but do you like Eli as well? It will inevitably be shortened.

Not Bryn, I cannot bare it.

Its my DH's name, he spent his life being called Bryan until he changed it at 18. Was teased about it at school too.

Its used as a girls name in the US and US trends do tend to follow over here eventually.

I must preview - to clarifiy, he spent his life being called Bryan because people couldn't read Bryn properly, he changed it to his middle name (not Bryan!) at 18.

If you are Welsh or have Welsh roots then Bryn.

Not too keen on Elijah.
