WDYTO Bryni ?
Old English, means "fire".
PS Not sure how it is pronounced, maybe "BRIN-eye"? or "BRY-nih"?

It might be a Old English word, but to me it looks only like a horrid kr8tiv tryndeigh concoction.

I would pronounce it Bry-Nee, but that's just me, my un-Irish self. I also like Brinley/Brynley, it's one of my favorites, as well as Bryn and Brylee.

This name is absolutely awful. It looks tryndeigh and the pronunciation is questionable. Also, it's too close to briny.How about Bryony?

The briny depths . . .It looks like the poetic name for salt water, no matter how you spell it. The Old English for 'flame' / 'conflagration' was bryne, not bryni, btw. Brynig was 'burning'. Where did you see the name?

The meaning makes me like it more, but if it had a different meaning I wouldn't like it as much.You could use it as a nn for Brynn, Braelyn, Brandy, Bronwen, Briony, Brunella, etc, but it wouldn't carry the same meaning.Luxiana

I'd pronounce it BRIN-ee, but I don't like it much.

The spelling is very pretty, but I'm not sure on the sound. I would automatically say BRIN-ee, but I don't know if that sounds too nicknamey.

It just looks 'off' to me. Looks like it should be prn. BRY-nee, which isn't terribly attractive ("briney" would describe the taste of the sea, right? :-/). Maybe BRIN-ee or BREE-nee. Can't say I care for it one way or another.

Though I like Brynn, I can't say that I like Bryni.
I would say it just like Brynn but with a long -ee on the end.

It's cute. I love names that mean fire. Old English or Irish names seem to have a magic about them to me. This is no different. I"m not sure how to spell it.It isn't something I would name a child, but definitely a character. Hmm... :)
