All About the Baby Name – Brynn

Personality

OF THE GIRL NAME BRYNN

The number one personality is a leader - strong and competitive. They are willing to initiate action and take risks. One personalities work hard toward their endeavors and have the ability to apply their creative and innovative thinking skills with strong determination. They believe in their ability to succeed and are too stubborn to be hindered by obstacles. Ones meet obstacles head-on with such mental vigor and energy that you better step aside. They resent taking orders, so don't try telling them what to do either. This is an intensely active personality, but they are also known as starters rather than finishers. They have a propensity to become bored and will move quickly to the next project if not properly challenged.  They are the ones to think up and put into action new and brilliant ideas, but they are not the ones to stick around and manage them. This personality has an enthusiastic and pioneering spirit. They are distinctly original.

Popularity

OF THE GIRL NAME BRYNN

Brynn made her debut on the U.S. popularity charts for the first time in 1980 – although she didn’t see much action and even fell off the charts for most of the 1990s. Then in the late 90s, she reemerged triumphantly. The name saw a big push between 2002 and 2003 when MTV’s Real World: Las Vegas aired with a boisterous cast mate named Brynn Smith. Apparently young viewers responded to this name. Another popular reality TV star, Bethanny Frankel, recently named her baby girl Bryn (the original masculine spelling) in homage to her husband’s dead brother Bryan. The name Brynn has a gentle simplicity and understated elegance. It’s a short, one-syllable alternative to the more commonplace Lynn. And it’s also less frilly or trendy than Brianna or Brooklyn (if you like the “Br” sounding names). Brynn is a contemporary choice rooted in an older Welsh name.
