I consider it feminine

---

I always think of the women's college Bryn Mawr when I hear or see it, so it has a feminine vibe to me.

---

I don't care much for the sound or look of Bryn, so I don't have anything in the way of combos. A 2 or 3 syllable clearly feminine name would be the best choice, imo.

I don't like Bryn on a girl. It's very nice on a boy.

This is what I think of when I see the name Bryn:

---

Welsh singer Bryn Terfel

I like Bryn on a boy spelled Brynn

I prefer Bryn on a boy and Brynn on a girl, totally based on personal experience and what I find visually more masculine and feminine.

---

I like both though. I would just pick a more traditional middle name, like Bryn Joseph, Bryn Alexander, Brynn Amelia, & Brynn Kathleen, etc.

I'm not sure I like Bryn for a girl but I suppose I wouldn't be horrified to see it (maybe Brynn). I keep Bryn on my boys' list though and use it as a middle name. I quite like it in that role.

It's feminine to me

I've only met female Bryns, and the -yn/ynn sound rhymes with Lynn, making it seem feminine.

I have to disagree with some of you on this one... in my neck of the woods, have only heard it on a girl... never a boy. And, IMO, I like the double n's on it (Brynn)... because for some reason, Bryn does not look finished to me. There are some names out there, again, IMO, that even though they might have started out as a boys name, they NEVER sounded masculine, but rather much more feminine... again.... IMO. Like the name Cameron... that sounds way too feminine to me... I cannot even imagine putting it on a boy. Same with Brynn.

I really like Brynn on a girl, spelled this way.

I don't like Bryn on a girl, but I like it on a boy.

I would much prefer it on a boy, yes. I love it on a boy, can't see why people think it's feminine, it reminds me of Bryan. This spelling is particularly masculine (as is Brynn), I can sort of see Brynne working.

Never thought of it before but Bryn is really ugly when paired with feminine name, before it was just meh on a girl but now i really dislike it.
