I've never heard of Branwyn used as a male name; I'm more familiar with it as an incorrect alternative to Branwen. I'm not sure what I think of it. The main drawback for me is that Branwen is a very feminine name. Branwyn sounds similar to Branwen, so upon hearing it I would immediately consider it's bearer to be female.

However, that's speaking from the perspective of one who researches etymologies in her free time. I wonder if someone who doesn't know about the -wyn/-wen grammatical rules would think differently.
