I am a mom who named my daughter Braelyn. In 1990 my future husband and I put it together with the Scottish word "Brae" (meaning a hill or a brook flowing down from a hill) and the name suffix "lyn" (meaning beauty). This name not only has meaning but is even more special to us since we are Scottish. My daughter doesn't despise her name. In fact, she's real proud of it as are we all. We've even been asked by other expectant mothers if they could use "our" name for their baby. (Of course, it's not "our" name.) It sounds like a couple of you get very angry about things you don't understand. You may want to read more. - Happy Mom
