Like you said, its overdone and that's a shame. Ryan has replaced Bryan / Brian and I think the B sound and look has made some people think the name cumbersome and heavy. Maybe in the next 50 years or so when all the other Bryans / Brians have died out it could make a comeback. I can hear people say, "Oh, my grandfather's name was Bryan / Brian. Let's name our little girl Bryan / Brian to honor him." lol ... And then another name stollen for the girls :oP Seriously, I think, like all "old fashioned" names, it'll come back. It may be a while, though.
