Bronwyn makes me… angry? -wen is feminine, -wyn is masculine. Why would anyone want Bronwyn when Bronwen is right there? Bronwen is one of my favourite names.

Branwen is cute but it doesn’t have the same charm for me.

I don't like any of them, but I like Branwen most. It's most witchy.

They're ok. I only like Bronwyn because of the character from One of Us is Lying, but the other spellings are much better. My favourite one is Bronwen.

Branwen is terrible and whiny, other 2 are alright.

I like them mildly, I like Bronwyn best

I prefer the look and the sound of Branwen, and Bronwen has never appealed to me. Bronwyn is awful.

I don't like Branwen, I like the others, I like Bronwyn best

I like Bronwen and Bronwyn. I don't have a spelling preference. I love the possibility of Bonnie as a nickname.

The only one I don't like is Branwen. I don't like Anwen, wither. I think it's the short-A sound followed by a W that is grating on me. It sounds... nasally?

Out of Bronwen and Bronwyn, I prefer the -wen spelling (same for Gwendolen), though I recognize the -wyn spellings as being more popular even though, in Welsh, that's a masculine suffix (and these are Welsh names). I used to know a Bronwyn back in college, and thought her name was interesting then - doubly so when I realized (from the graduation brochure) that her full name was Bronwyn Rebecca. I thought that was a cool combination.

Love Bronwyn because it reminds me of the character from One of Us is Lying (totally recommend!).
