It is of Welsh origin, which is British, OP. Wales is in Britain.
The only Bronwyn I knew was really bitchy, but I like the name.




Ha ha! You’re clearly American. In Wales and England (and Scotland and Northern Ireland) the distinction is always made!

I'm the Yank. Points from who? What? Wales is in Britain.





You’re wrong, PP. Stop embarrassing yourself. Wales is part of the UK

I am American. My mother was from Scotland. I know the distinction is important to some people but it does not change geography.



It absolutely changes cultural awareness. What is Welsh is Welsh and what is British is British. I guarantee your mother never said she was British or English even though Scotland is part of the UK.

I like it but also really liked the one Bronwyn I knew in grad school.

I do not like it, which is odd since I like nearly all female names ending in -n.

I also care about name meanings and do not care for the meaning, although I am very pale myself.

It sounds ugly. Objectively it’s an unattractive name. Nothing to do with being pretentious.

I do think that there’s been a trend towards flowing and soft sounds. Lots of L and M sounds - Isabella, Emma, Olivia have been popular for a long time.

We’re due for a backlash towards harsher, hard sounds. Remember, there was a time when people thought Gertrude was a beautiful name. The OP is just (slightly) ahead of her time.

My thought exactly.

Nope on the name.

The housewife spells it embarrassingly wrong. It is an old name, ridiculous to associate it with real housewives primarily

It’s a name rarely used in the US. Totally normal to associate it with pop culture. https://ohbabynames.com/all-baby-names/bronwyn/


I guess if you never took brit lit but watch real housewives and want to make sure everyone knows it

Wow how embarrassing. You took “brit lit” and still don’t know how to read.

This isn’t a geography lesson. It’s a Welsh name.

Wow. Rude. And St David's day is right around the corner.

Ya do know that Wales has a whole language and culture on it's own, right? And Bronwyn is a VERY Welsh name. You should read up on the language-it's freaking fascinating.

There are lots of subcultures in Great Britain. There's no such thing as a "British" name bc. Names are from languages. So names are English, Scottish, Welsh etc.

Don't get me started on the Cornish or the Manx ha ha ha
