My best friend’s name is Bryanna and I like it. I don’t think it is ugly it’s cute and different. It’s always Briana or Brianna or Breanna. Why doesn’t Bryanna look right? It’s a cute name y'all!
I love my unique name and the y is personally prettier than the I because you can curl it and swirl it. My name (Bryanna) is pronounced bre-a-na and it is super annoying when people say bry-a-na or bry-an-a or bre-an-a. Just by the way, I get tons of compliments because it is super beautiful spelled and pronounced this way.
I think this is a much better spelling than Bryanna. The Y gives a new flare to a worn out name.

Amazingly, since this looks like a recent invention, I found an 18th century English bearer of this name as a middle name - her forenames were Mary Bryanna. Perhaps among her parents' relatives or friends there was a person surnamed Bryan after whom she was named. I think it's a pretty name.
It appears that this name should be pronounced ''brie-A-na'', which is a butt-ugly name, and even the nicer pronunciation, which doesn't seem logical with this spelling, ''bree-a-na'', doesn't stop the name from being tremendously boring, common, bland, predictable, lazily out together, and a name that seems to lack sophistication and elegance.
I agree with PrincessKisa. Having this name myself, the only spellings that I am fond of are Brianna and Briana, although I prefer Brianna, given the fact that that is how I spell it. I will be honest, I hate this spelling and I think it makes no sense. I am sorry if you are a big fan of it, if you are a Bryanna, or if you are quite friendly with a Bryanna, but I think this is a stupid spelling and I recommend Brianna or Briana to anyone who wants to name their daughter this.
