Help[Opinions] how would you pronounce...
Bryln..? I only saw the name on paper.
it's the name of a little boy in my town & now i'm kinda hoping i hear him getting yelled at in the store or something just so i know how to pronound his name.

That is...an unfortunate name. It looks terrible. I'd pronounce it Briln, to rhyme with kiln.

My guess would be that it is pronounced "brillin", like "chillin" with a B-R.

I'm guessing it's probably BRY-lin, but my first thought was "briln." It looks like it should be one syllable, but I have a feeling that they're pronouncing it like Brylin.

Like kiln but with a br instead of a k.

I would guess it's pronounce like bry-lynn. If so, that is an awful spelling of the name.

Probably BRY-lin.

BRY-lin. Perhaps they copied the Haydn example of no second vowel.

My guess is the parents are going for something with two syllables like "BRIE-lun." But just to bug them (and assuming the child is no where in ear shot) I'd say it to rhyme with kiln. I'm petty that way.

Maybe it's a typo for Brylin?

I'd say it BREE-ln (like Akua said, to rhyme with kiln), but I'm sure it's supposed to be like Braylin or something phonetically impossible.

BRY-lynn.

BRY-lin

I would say BRIE-lyn, but I think Akua Topaz was closer.

I'd assume it rhymes with kiln.
