I had no idea
Brian was overly used in the 70's and 80's. That would account for why I see next to no enthusiasm for it now. It's always been a mystery for me because I consider it a good, handsome, underappreciated name.
I thought the reason was the uber-popularity of
Briana in the 90's. Yuck-o I hate
Briana. I'd much rather see
Bryony used as a "feminine form" of
Brian even though stricktly speaking it isn't a form of
Brian.
Now is exactly the time when
Brian would stand out in the newest generation. He'd be one of the very few Brians around in his age group.
I only like the
Brian spelling.
Bryan seems trendy and down-market.
