Brian. The other spelling reminds me of Byron.

The name just seems dated to me, having grown up in the 1980's. It was the extremely popular boy equivalent of my name, Heather. I knew tons of Brians growing up. But I do prefer the Brian spelling. Guess it just seems a little more traditional to me. :b

I don't really like the name, it's a bit boring to me. My prefered spelling is Brian.

I love Brian. I just recently started thinking about it again. I prefer the original spelling of Brian.

I've always liked the name Brian. (Bryan is a silly spelling, to me.)

Brian, definitely. My best friend has a brother named Bryan and he's really mean, so I vote Brian."Dance like no one's watching."
This is a favorite quote of mine

I prefer Brien with an E, or Bryan, but dislike the name. It's plain and dated to me._____________________________________________________________________"[David Gest] looks like he's had a lot of plastic surgery done, but not by a plastic surgeon."Elinor

I like the name, and I like both spellings. It would depend upon the middle name and surname, for which spelling I'd prefer.

I like Bryan better. It was my ex-s name and he was a mid 70s kid.

Sounds dated to me. If used it's better as Brian, Bryan reminds me of Bryan Adams and just generally looks like it's trying to be trendy.

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

Definitely Brian imo.

I'm not fond of the name in either spelling. I know too many Brian/Bryans, and they were all cruel to me when I was younger. I think I'd go with the spelling Brian, since the worst one of all was a Bryan.Array

Brian looks "more normal", and Bryan "more elegant". Normally adding an unnecessary "y" makes a name look trashy (imo), but not here.
