Sorry but my name is Bryony and it's not pronounced at all like it says here. If said slowly and proplerly, it should be-Bry (like cry) On EeBut when people say it quick its more like Bry-Annie, but the A in Annie isn't said the same as it would be in Annie, it's more subtle, like the A in Anonomous for example. Sounds more like "uh" if that makes sense.
I know a Bryony who pronounces it like Brian with an -ee sound on the end.

Since this is my name -- and it is widely used in the United Kingdom -- I can say for certain that the actual pronunciation is: "BRI-AH-NEE" with the emphasis on the first sylable, using a long "i" sound. It is almost as if you are saying the name "Brian", but with a long "e" sound attached to the end.
