[Opinions] Re: Australian diver called Briony
I always assume that Briony = Brian-E, myself. All the announcers here have called her BREE-uh-nee, though, and referred to her as Bri for short.Array

They are actually saying it like bree-OH-nee here.OH - exactly like the letter O.On another note, there's an Aussie gymnast called Olivia Vivian. Just thought that was kind of amusing...

And an Aussie swimmers name Tarnee, Liesel, and Libby Trickett which is fun.

Yes, but we're in two different countries. :) As I said, the (American) announcers that I've been watching have referred to her as BREE-uh-nee, whether or not that's accurate to her own pronunciation.I haven't seen Olivia Vivian, but I'm digging her name. ;DArray
