Would Brinley get automatically shorten to Brynn?

[name_m]Hi[/name_m], berries! Been liking the name [name_u]Brinley[/name_u] recently. But worried that it might be automatically to [name_f]Brynn[/name_f], which is problematic name for me for reasons. But is it avoidable, or should I nix it and forget about it?

I think the risk of Brin/Brynn is too high. I would say you should let it go gracefully and find a different name with only positive associations :slight_smile:
Ideas:

Girls:
[name_f]Bridie[/name_f]
[name_u]Briar[/name_u]
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] (Bea)
[name_u]Finley[/name_u]
[name_f]Linley[/name_f]
[name_f]Hayley[/name_f]

Boys:
[name_m]Brandon[/name_m]
[name_u]Bran[/name_u]
[name_m]Barton[/name_m]
[name_u]Finley[/name_u]
[name_f]Linley[/name_f]

Hm… yes, I do think it’s highly plausible.

@CherrieSue yeah, that’s what I was afraid of, but I absolutely adore your suggestion of [name_f]Linley[/name_f], especially with the nn [name_f]Linny[/name_f]. Thank you!

@snowmaiden yeah I might have to let go of this. Thank you for your input!

If I knew a [name_u]Brinley[/name_u], I’d definitely be calling her [name_f]Brynn[/name_f].

It could be, yeah. It’s the first syllable after all, so a nicknamer would probably call her Brynn/Brin at some point

I definitely think there’s a strong possibility of Brin/Brynn
