Not a fan.

Not sure, ok

I've met someone with a similar name, Breiagh, from an Irish Traveller background (I mention this as they may have different pronunciations to my very w. coast Irish approach to saying Irish names).

---

I thought it might be a version of an Irish nickname for Bridget (confusingly, how this website says a similar name is said is very far from how I've heard it said and more how an English person would try to say it, but it may be a dialect thing). I said it like that, and she looked at me like I was an alien. It was a brey-ah apparently. I still do not get how it works phonetically in either English or Irish but...eh...

I read it like Breha would sound. I actually like that, but I'm a Star Wars nerd, and I also like Rhea / Raya.

I guess it is said like Bria is? I'd prefer that spelling, but I still like Breah more than Brie or Brianna.

I almost want to add the letter T = breath..

I like the sound of the name, but I really dislike this spelling! Perhaps the name honours her mother Breanna and MIL Leah? In that case I think the spelling is fine.

Breah looks awkward to me. Looks like it's missing a "t" = Breath

I think that Bria is a much more attractive alternative

I think ...

It'd be more likely she'd get called Bree, at least in the US where Breda is not a thing.
It's a pleasant enough sound, but I would be more likely to use the Bria spelling.
