BRAUN-tay. It should have two dots over the e, actually. It has a technical name, but I forget what it is. And I prefer it be kept as a male name. There is a great article on namenerds.com about this that I very much agree with. I think giving a girl a masculine name is a way of telling her there's something wrong with being female, and also, once a boys' name is used on a girl, it catches, and can never be used on a boy again. How many little boys do you know named Alice?
