LOVE it! It's been my favorite girl's name for years!

I've liked it, in theory, for years. And hearing it on a real person (or character, at least) in the movie made it a bit more tangible and seems a bit more usable to me. But I'm still not positive about the sound. It sounds so much like Brian + ee, like describing someone as being a lot like Brian. :b

i really dislike it... it sounds kind of harsh

I like Bryony on someone else's child.

I think it's going to become really popular, really soon because of the movie. I'm not a big fan, but it does have a soft sounding.

I love it!

I can't stand it. I hate the way it looks and especially the way it sounds. Sorry, but it's nmsaa

I like it pronounced BRY (rhymes with eye)-oh-nee, but I've heard that the accepted US pronounciation is BREE-oh-nee, which I think is horrible.

I think it's beautiful and strikes the right balance between unusualness and popularity :)

I think it's very lovely. I would like it a lot better if not for the popularity of all the bree- names these days.

Eh.

I can see the appeal but it's not for me. I read an immense amount of British literature and characters named Bryony are always well-behaved, properly and fashionably dressed damsels in distress. It's hard for me to see past that stereotype. I definitely wouldn't mind meeting one, that's for sure.

I adore Bryony/Briony, it's one of my top favourites. I read Atonement years ago and it certainly contributed to my love. The meaning leaves something to be desired, but I still adore it.

I like Bryony but I love Briony. I've read the book Atonement by Ian McEwan and I saw the film so I strongly prefer Briony.
