Brynleigh or Bryleigh?

[name_u]Baby[/name_u] girl is due any day and we’re stuck on names! Our top two are Brynleigh and [name_f]Bryleigh[/name_f]/[name_f]Brylee[/name_f]. So similar but so different!

I’m not a fan of the nickname “Bry” for [name_f]Brylee[/name_f]. I think it’s husbands favorite though.

Other names on our list - [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] (too common for me), [name_f]Kinsley[/name_f] (too modern?), [name_u]Skylar[/name_u], [name_f]Maya[/name_f], [name_u]Kamryn[/name_u]/[name_u]Camryn[/name_u].

Big brother’s name is [name_m]Grayson[/name_m] :slight_smile:

Any opinions (or alternative name choices) are so appreciated! Thanks in advance!!

[name_f]Bryleigh[/name_f] sounds too made up and masculine to me. Brynleigh would definitely be my choice. I really love [name_u]Camryn[/name_u] from your list. [name_f]Kindra[/name_f] and [name_u]Teagan[/name_u] sound like they fit your style too.

I prefer [name_f]Kinsley[/name_f], [name_u]Skylar[/name_u] or [name_f]Maya[/name_f] though i think i prefer Brynleigh out of these two. [name_f]Brynlee[/name_f] maybe? [name_f]Briana[/name_f], [name_f]Briar[/name_f], [name_u]Piper[/name_u], [name_f]Brenna[/name_f] and [name_u]Keeley[/name_u] came to mind

I prefer Brynleigh, and especially if it gets shortened to a nickname. Both are nice though. [name_u]Bryn[/name_u] has a softer and nicer sound that Bry, [name_f]IMO[/name_f].

What about just [name_f]Brynn[/name_f]? It’s much more versatile and sounds less trendy than Brynleigh.

My favourite is [name_f]Maya[/name_f] from your list in total I just think it’s pretty, elegant and sounds lovely with [name_m]Grayson[/name_m]. Out of the two names your discussing my favourite is Brynleigh it just sounds less trendy than [name_f]Bryleigh[/name_f].

Good luck

What about [name_u]Brinley[/name_u] or just [name_f]Brynn[/name_f]? If you’re worried about being too modern, I think Brynleigh and [name_f]Brylee[/name_f] are much more modern looking/sounding than [name_f]Kinsley[/name_f].

I really like [name_f]Kinsley[/name_f], [name_u]Brinley[/name_u], [name_f]Maya[/name_f] and [name_u]Skylar[/name_u]! I do agree [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] is probably too popular for you as you seem to enjoy more unique names.

Personally, I would go with [name_f]Kinsley[/name_f] or [name_u]Skylar[/name_u]— both perfect with [name_m]Grayson[/name_m] (I love that name), not too popular or too modern, and fit your liked sounds without straying too much.

(Okay, I would go with [name_u]Skylar[/name_u] because it’s adorable and still versatile, will grow with her, and come on, [name_u]Skylar[/name_u] and [name_m]Grayson[/name_m]? Perfection!)

Though I love [name_f]Maya[/name_f], it’s a lot different than your other names— not bad of course, just maybe not what you’re looking for? It’s also very popular.

I agree “Bry” isn’t the best nickname, but [name_f]Brynn[/name_f] is adorable! I just don’t love the spelling of Brynleigh with her classic big brother’s name.

Those are all my thoughts LOL. I think either way you’ll find a name that fits her perfectly!
What’s the middle? :slight_smile:

Brynleigh!!!

[name_f]Maya[/name_f] is my favorite, followed up by [name_f]Kinsley[/name_f].
[name_m]Grayson[/name_m] is spelled in the traditional way, so Brynleigh (which I like more than [name_f]Bryleigh[/name_f]) looks odd next to it. Very made up. I think Brynley or even better [name_f]Brynn[/name_f] would be much much better.

I agree with all of what PP Auroracallista said! :slight_smile:

Most of those names look made-up/misspelled. I could only go with [name_f]Maya[/name_f].

I’m personally not a big fan of either, but between the 2 I prefer the sound of Brynleigh. I like the simpler spelling of [name_f]Brylee[/name_f] though, so for that reason I would suggest spelling it as [name_f]Brynlee[/name_f] or even [name_f]Brinley[/name_f] instead. [name_f]Brynn[/name_f] would be a super cute nn!

Some similar names that came to mind were [name_u]Riley[/name_u], [name_f]Brinkley[/name_f], [name_f]Braylee[/name_f], [name_u]Baylee[/name_u]/[name_u]Bailey[/name_u] and [name_f]Bronwyn[/name_f]. [name_f]Brinkley[/name_f] could still use nn [name_f]Brynn[/name_f] too! [name_f]Bronwyn[/name_f] could have the nn [name_u]Wynn[/name_u] or even [name_f]Wynnie[/name_f], which are similar to [name_f]Brynn[/name_f] and both make for cute options!

And from your extended list I love [name_u]Skylar[/name_u] and [name_u]Camryn[/name_u] - [name_u]Sky[/name_u] and [name_f]Cami[/name_f]/[name_u]Rynn[/name_u] would make cute nicknames!

I agree with PP I really am not of a fan of either. ( I also don’t like [name_f]Kinsley[/name_f]/kinslee/[name_u]McKinley[/name_u] or any variation)

I do think maya is sweet and classic.
I like [name_u]Cameron[/name_u] but only this spelling!

Good luck!

I like Brynleigh a lot, and I love [name_f]Brynn[/name_f]. I also really like [name_u]Skylar[/name_u].

My favorite is Brynleigh! If your husbands dead set on the nickname Bry then he can still use it. It sounds more complete to me than [name_f]Bryleigh[/name_f] does.

Of the two I prefer Brynleigh, though might like [name_f]Brynlee[/name_f] or [name_u]Brinley[/name_u] spelling better. Of all of your options [name_f]Kinsley[/name_f] is my favorite, i’ve recently been crushing on that name so I was happy to see it on anyone’s list

Thank you all SO much for the help!! We have so much more to talk about now, love all of the suggestions! Thank you all again!! :slight_smile:

Out of those 2 I prefer Brynleigh. However I prefer [name_u]Bryn[/name_u] or [name_f]Brynn[/name_f] on its own, or Brynley/[name_u]Brinley[/name_u] spelling over Brynleigh. You say that you’re worried about [name_f]Kinsey[/name_f] being modern but I agree with pp that any leigh ending or [name_f]Bryleigh[/name_f] type sounds is very modern sounding.
