How to pronounce: Brielynn
New baby - named Brielynn (newborn of co-worker, we only saw name in writing)
My boss and I were guessing at pronunciation today.
I say it is simply Bree-lin
She thinks it might be Bre-eh-lin (like bri-ellen?)
Then again, it could by bry-lin or something else.
Not sure.

I would say "Bry-lyn". It's horrible regardless of how it's pronounced.
I would say it as you so, Brie like the cheese, and then Lynne.
My first reaction was bry-lin (bry like dry). But I can also see bree-el-en being an option, and one I find more attractive.
A changed spelling of Briallen? Although that's pronounced differently.

Bree-lynn is how I think it'd be said, but if it's based on Brielle, Bri-ellen makes sense too. When I first looked at it my brain just went Bry-lynn (rhyming with cry) for some reason.
I would say Bree-Lin, too. It's so pretty!
I would assume it's bry-ellen. I suppose someone will have to ask the coworker! Or what I would do is avoid saying the name aloud until hearing the coworker say the baby's name themselves. lol
I have an online friend who for several years assumed her daughter's name was pronounced a certain way--the way it's spelled--but then heard it spoken in a video she posted and I was not right. Hmm.

Hi !!!
Brie is a cheese in my mind.
So I would choose Brielynn in a different way.
I would pronounce it bri-eh-lynn with "bri" like in Brian.
