I'm in a fight with myself over it. One side of thinks it sounds like Brianna, which I absolutely loathe and think is the tackiest name ever. One side of me thinks it's all British and Atonement-ish. I don't know.

Heh, that's where I am with it as well. I want to love it for its Britishness and natureyness, but Br- names irk me generally because it's such a trendy sound.

I thought Brianna was Bree-anna but Bryony is Bry-ony. I have never come across a Brianna here (not sure why it hasn't crossed the pond) but I kind of like it. It's a GP though, I can see why it seems tacky!

Yeah, I pronounce them that way. I don't know why I associate them with each other.
