I have searched high and low and have not been able to find anything on the name Brysha. I know it is female but do not know the ethnic origin. Can you help?

How do you pronounce it, Tracie? And where did you first hear of this name?

Brysha? Why I remember this name from my childhood! I seem to recall a cartoon beaver and dental hygiene, all on B&W TV. They even had a song: "Brysha, Brysha, Brysha, new Ipana toothpaste..."
?
?

My name is Ipana. My grandfather named me.

I'm too young to remember the actual commercial, but wasn't that the toothpaste jingle that "what's her name" from the movie 'GREASE' was singing about in the slumber party scene?

Nearly EVERYONE is too young to remember this! My family was not much for being on the cutting edge of technology, but we somehow got our first TV toward the end of the Truman administration. Bucky Beaver and the Ipana ads were a big deal, even though the product seems to have since fallen into the slimepit of history.
I've never seen more than brief glimpses of "Grease". Far too cheesy and cartoonish for me, plus I don't watch Stockard Channing (or Julia Roberts) flicks as a matter of digestive delicacy.
I used to feel the same way about Matt Damon until "Dogma", but that might have been due to the presence of Serendipity (Salma Hayek), IMHO the world's most gorgeous female person (other than Mrs. Cranky). Or it may be because it was a movie by Kev Smith, whom I will forgive much. But the "Loki" character was sort of cool: Nan even named a Minpin after Damon's role!

Yep, I gotta agree, she's a close call after Mrs CheBanana!

"Bucky Beaver", eh? That name may just replace "Rue Orleans" as my favorite porn star name.
I'm with you on not being too keen on the movie version of *Grease* -- mainly because I can NOT tolerate that grinnin' idiot pie-faced chick, Olivia Neutron Bomb. However, I did go to see Lucy Lawless' performance in the role of Rizzo on Broadway, and *that* really rocked.
*Dogma* was the height of entertainment. But I didn't really name my Loki after Matt Damon's character, as I'd already had Loki before the movie came out. But then another little minpin came to be a permanent resident with us (after I'd already seen *Dogma* by this point), and he was tagged with the name of "Bartleby".
And, yes, Salma Hayek roolz.

B&W TV? What was/is that?
1
Why, B&W TV is a cable network. It stands for "Boys & Women". Mostly it shows endless repetitions of "The Graduate" and "The Summer of '42". Next question?
: )

Daividh can tell you all about B&W TV. He's so old, he remembers when Mr. Clean had an afro.

He also remembers when every balding yayhoo on the street didn't tonsure and bejewel himself to look like Mr Clean.
How comes nobody ever emulates Manners the Butler?

Noooooo! Not Manners the Butler!!!!!
Actually, I have NO idea who Manners the Butler was. That pre-dates me, fer shure.
But if this is one of those "Where Are They Now?" kinda guessing games... I guess that Manners the Butler had sex-change surgery and is now thriving in her new identity of Judith Martin (alias Miss Manners). Just as Wendy Carlos used to be Walter Carlos (before he had his synthesizer tempered), and Judge Judy was prooooobably once Sheldon Leonard.

Judge Judy was undeniably Sheldon Leonard. Very perceptive, Nan!
In B&W TV ads in the 60's (?), Manners the Butler was a miniature (reduced in scale on the screen) butler who hung around under dining tables lecturing people whose napkins slipped out of their laps to switch to Kleenex paper napkins, which presumably stayed put.
This role of course was only a cover that allowed the mini-perv to gape up a lotta skirts...

Like Tricia (from Patricia). My cousin mentioned it when she was picking a name for her daughter. She decided to change it all around and came up with Bricia (Breeseeah). But I liked Brysha better. Thanks for the help.
