How would you pronounce Bryony?
I did a poll about it, but some people voted "other," and I'm curious to see. Thanks! :)___________________________Silversliver! ! ! ! ! ! - Naomi, Helena, Tanith, Jude, Rowan and Damien

Processed “cheese”. The word should always, like Soviet “democracy”, be framed in quotes, for no matter what the law may say, I refuse to call this cheese

It's supposed to be pronounced BRYE-oh-nee. It's the name of a flowering vine. It usually comes out sounding more like Brian with an ee ending."A guilty conscience needs to confess. A work of art is a confession."- Albert Camus

According to this site, and from what I understand, the name is correctly pronounced BRYE-uh-nee. It could be confusing, though, since this site says it's prn. "BRIE-u-nee" and brie, the cheese, is prn. like BREE. I believe Bryony and Briony are both pronounced like a long "i" sound, though. But I could be wrong. :b

I would pronounce it bree-on-ee, like Briana (Bree-Ah-Nuh) except with the ee sound instead of "uh".
