What other spellings are you thinking about? I think I like [name_m]Breccan[/name_m] the best.
Definitely [name_m]Breccan[/name_m] or [name_m]Brecken[/name_m]
“[name_m]Breck[/name_m]” is a very unpleasant sound to me, but I’d spell it [name_m]Breccan[/name_m].
The first time I heard the name was on a girl named [name_m]Brecken[/name_m] so I associate that spelling with being more feminine. I like [name_m]Breccan[/name_m] for a boy, and I like the sound more for a boy in general too.
I don’t like the name, but if you love it then go for it. I would spell it [name_m]Breccan[/name_m] or [name_m]Brecken[/name_m].
[name_m]Brecken[/name_m] or [name_m]Breccan[/name_m] looks the best with little chance of it being mispronounced.
[name_m]Breccan[/name_m] or [name_m]Brecken[/name_m] and I love the shortened form or nickname [name_m]Breck[/name_m].
[name_m]Brecken[/name_m] or [name_m]Breccan[/name_m]
I much prefer [name_m]Breccan[/name_m] spelling.
[name_m]Breccan[/name_m] would be my preference (it’s the only spelling I’m familiar with).
Of the options on the poll, I think [name_m]Brecken[/name_m] is the most intuitive.
[name_m]How[/name_m] did you come across the name?
There is a hill range in [name_m]Wales[/name_m] called the Brecan Beacons.
If I was going for that name, I would go for Brecan for the reason that you could refer them to the geographical place to explain pronunciation and spelling. (presuming pr. [name_m]BRECK[/name_m]-uhn)
If you like it but at least to a degree its made-up or over-heard and you can’t explain origins, personally I would look for similar names that have a history… but thats just my opinion 
I like the spelling [name_m]Breccan[/name_m] best. I don’t know anything about the name and where it comes from, but [name_m]Breccan[/name_m] looks like a legit real name, (a nice one!) but to me the other spellings look a little made up. But I don’t personally like different spellings, so maybe ignore me haha.
Why not try handwriting them with your last name and one of them might just feel right to you!
I agree with @scillyellie, go with [name_m]Brecon[/name_m] after the [name_m]Brecon[/name_m] Beacons mountain range in South [name_m]Wales[/name_m]. Otherwise [name_m]Breccan[/name_m] or [name_m]Brecken[/name_m].
