It's ok

It has an unpleasant whiny sound to my ears. It was also extremely popular in my peer group so I don't think it will ever stop giving me middle school bully vibes.

It’s never been popular in the UK, and feels very American to me. It’s nms.

All the Briannas I've met have been pretty insufferable, so I don't have good associations with the name. It's hard for me to appreciate it.

I've gone on and on about how much I despise it. It's my least favorite name. Brianna who loves the cheesecake factory and Rae Dunn but in high school wore low rise jeans with a thong hanging out and thick black eyeliner.

I sound classist. I'm sorry. I'm sick and my self control is lacking

Despise

It's one of my least favorite names. Whiny, prissy, tawdry.

I hate this name.

I had a collie named Brianna. She was an absolute sweetheart of a dog and the best babysitter I ever had. That said, I think the name Brianna is a bit dated. It seems very 90s to me.

I love the name Brianna. It's common, but not common for babies today. Sort of like a teenager or young adult name. Every girl that I've met named Brianna has been amazing. I think I would use it myself. There is an ex family member in my family who was adopted into a different family named Brianna. Or was, maybe they have a different name now. Idk how my parents would take it.

It's not bad. It reminds me of Edmund Spencer's character, but I find the Brianna spelling much prettier than the original, since I really want to pronounce Briana bry-AN-ə.

If we had another daughter, this would be her name.
