I’ve been letting Brynhild simmer a bit and I like it, despite never having been fond of Brunhilde. I took a look at Forvo and found that it is pronounced pretty much the way I thought it would be (the Dutch, especially, which didn’t seem to roll the “r”) and I think it could pretty easily fit in among English-speakers. Thank you for introducing me. My favorites of your combos are...

Brynhild Agatha
Brynhild Athena
Brynhild Camellia
Brynhild Caroline
Brynhild Clara
Brynhild Clarissa
Brynhild Eliza
Brynhild Eva
Brynhild Flora
Brynhild Gloria
Brynhild Ivy
Brynhild Olivia
Brynhild Ophelia
Brynhild Rosaline
Brynhild Susanna
Brynhild Ursula
Brynhild Viola

It would be quite Dutch, but Brynhild Femke came to mind and I thought you might like that. I like the “peace” association. I tend to want to pair the “warriors” with “virtues” or “nature imagery”. For the latter category, my brain is especially weird today in suggesting Brynhild Autumna. I don’t recall being familiar with Autumna, but it is in the Latin dictionary, the feminine of “autumnus”, meaning “of autumn”. Turns out it’s also in the submitted names here. You have her well-supplied, but here are a few more just for fun...

I would absolutely love to meet a little Brynhild! I adore most Germanic and Nordic names, and while Brunhild/Brunhilde has not quite strike me the way, say, Hilde on it's own does, I really like Byrnhild and find it to be nicer than Brunhild.

I like this name. I love the nickname Hildy, but I don't like Hilda, so I am always looking for other "hild" names that would work as full names.

---

Brynhild Ursula is my favorite from the combos, but I like most of the ones you listed.

While I do like many hild names, such as Hildegard and Svanhild, I must say I find Brynhild rough sounding and ugly.

I LOVE this, and though I love all Germanic names - but the Heritage on this one renders it among my favorites.

I posted this last February

---

Probably approaching five years ago or so (I am uncertain), I entered a Doughnut Shop in April. A young lady behind the counter wore a name tag that read "Bruna".

---

Not only did I comment, but I could scarcely contain my enthusiasm, because on that very Day the Metropolitan Opera would play, enact, and broadcast Die Walküre - with Wagner's legendary Brunhild. (Yeah, I'm a geek.) The very occasion would permeate the day with reverence. I explained the name - the meaning of her heritage and she grew excited--yet while doing so, I could scarcely contain my own. I entered the doughnut shop a few weeks later, and, little short of the entire front staff smiled softly either "at me" or "toward me".

Hi Wordsmith !!!

Awww the Valkyrie!

---

Even if I'm mostly familiar with Brunilde / Brunhilde I think that Brynhild is much better.

---

First of all it is closer to the original form than the others.

---

Then I think that Brunhild would be too similar to Bruno.

---

I love the name Bruno but I dislike that they seem so similar while they have a so different upbringing.

---

That's because I see Bruno only related with brun "brown" as in Italy bruno is a commonly used adjective.

---

So I much prefer using Brynhild.

---

I like these:
Brynhild Zenobia
Brynhild Verena
Brynhild Ursula
Brynhild Saskia
Brynhild Regina
Brynhild Honoria
Brynhild Augusta
Brynhild Amelia

---

Brynhild has a wild, strong, savage and tryumphant vibe with a Gothic soul.

---

Except for Zenobia (that I paired because of the wild-spirited Ancient queen) all the others reflect the same vibe.
