Like the sound, horrid spelling.

It's horrible. Awkward and ugly... =(

It sort of looks like a keyboard threw up and then decided to arrange the letters like that and call it a name TBH.

I know that seems harsh, but I really don't like it.

Awkward and ugly really covers it.

I'm going to second the "letter vomit" description.

It reminds me of those feminists that spell "woman" as "womyn" so it doesn't include "man".
It sounds like someone went: "I hate all vowels, so I'll stick a y to replace them all"

Not to be rude, but... it makes me think of "gremlin" or something equally creepy that stalks people in the middle of the night. The name creeps me out.

Does she have a phobia against regular vowels?

dislike. I like Brynlee, but that might be an unpopular opinion :P

I went to school with a couple of girls that were named bryn (and brynn). I think it's cute.

Eh, it's one of those names I think is odd on a girl. To me it's very masculine and very Welsh! It might be a UK thing though - lots of names that seem to be fairly common on girls in the US are still more masculine over here. For example, I've never met a female Ashley, Dylan, Riley, Aubrey or Meredith :)

Wow, Meredith is a boy's name, too? I thought I knew all about unisex names at this point, but that's news for me!

Ughhh. It sounds like someone talking with a mouthful of peanut butter. I love Bryn on its own, but with Lynn, just...no. There's absolutely nothing musical about it, know what I mean?

Yeah, it's definitely a UK thing. One of the first UK friends I made online was a young man named Ashley, and I was kind of blown away because I didn't even know male Ashleys existed! I love Ashley for a boy, to be honest, but I could never get away with it here in the States.

Not attractive in the least, and it definitely doesn't age well. I think modern parents fail to realize this when they give their babies uber cutesy names...they're not going to be babies forever!!

I don't like the spelling but love the sound of the name.

it sounds so awkward! Like, she's basically naming the baby a rhyme or something. Idk, I don't like it!
