I was just wondering what you all thought of the name Breearn for a girl?

If you saw it in this way: Breeahn - would you pronounce it BREE-ARN or BREE-ANN?

I actually like the "Breeahn" and would pronounce it bree-arn

I don't like the "arn" spelling.

Breeahn is quite nice, pronounced Bree-ann, I'm not too fond of any other variations.

I'm not a fan of either of them.

What about Brianne/Breeane as alternative spellings?

Bree-arm probably. It's one of those made up names that dont mean anything & are too trendy to be pretty, imo.

It sounds ok but I don't like either of the spellings. Tricky. I think it's important that whatever spelling you pick makes it look like it has two syllables, not like "breane" which would just be "breen"... also, I think breeahn is like this long string of letters that might be hard to read.

With all those names that end with an "an" sound I think it's hard to tell whether it's meant to be like "anne" or "ahn" (or, apparently, "on", according to some american people on this forum but I've never heard it here in australia)

So I think she might just have to have a spelling like Briane/Breeanne etc that looks like "anne" and correct people on the pronunciation... it's one of those tough ones because all the spellings have been used for lots of pronunciations.

When I first read that sentence, I thought it was a typo. It looks horrible.

Breeahn, I would say Bree-ann. I don't like it spelled with an r.

I'm not a fan of Breearn or Breeahn...and definitely not Breanne/Breanna.
