The -wyn spelling feels masculine to me, and like other users, I prefer Bronwen.

I like it but I think I like the Bronwen spelling better.

I've always liked it, but like others, prefer the original spelling Bronwen.

Seems to be trying awfully hard, somehow.

I don't really like Bronwyn that much but I do like Bronwen. I like Branwen more than either of them though.

I used to know a Bronwyn, and it was a cool name to see in real life. I prefer the spelling Bronwen, though.

I like it. I would use it for a minor character. It's cute.

My name is Byron and on more than one occasion someone has thought it was Bronwyn. Honestly a really nice sounding name, much more fun to be mistaken for than Bryan.

its ok

I know someone named Bronte (brahn-tay). It vaguely reminds me of her.

Mostly it's just an ugly sound to me, like Brock is...and it reminds me of Brawny paper towels.
I don't know any Bronwyns, haven't heard of any Bronwyns, and "white breast" isn't meaningful to me.

That said, I'd rather be Bronwyn than Brooklyn.

I'm with honeypie and Wordsmith - love Bronwen, but Bronwyn doesn't appeal nearly as much.

I really like it, but only when it’s spelled Bronwen.

Far prefer Bronwen, but not enough to use. Bronwyn seems arrogant: it's female, so it needs a y and sod the Welsh.

I know a Bronwyn (actually Bronwyn Jayne - her parents really loved y spellings!) who went to a conference and was given her name tag in the foyer: Brown Wine Lastname!

It comes off a bit masculine to me because of the initial sound, but I do like it. I like the look of the "wyn" spelling and there's definitely the trend of changing to a Y to feminize, but in this case I do agree with honeypie on the spelling given that Wyn is masculine. No one else besides name nerds would probably care, though. :) It's a name I wouldn't mind seeing used more even if I wouldn't use it personally (I live in the US so it's not common at all). And quite a suggestive meaning ;)

It should always be Bronwen, which I love and might like to use one day.
