I have known two
Brian's and both were incredibly nice guys, so it gets a thumbs up on associations! It is a little hard to picture it on a newborn but from a toddler up I can imagine
Brian being very cute, then transitioning well to adult. Hard to say about
Bryan. The part of me that likes
Ryan is ok with it but I feel like
Brian is the "purer" form of the name in a weird way.
