I like Brenna. It is not that common and the nn Brynn great. Good choice!

I love Brenna. It is gorgeous and uncommon. I like Brenna Catherine better because as Brenna ends in a vowel, it sounds a bit awkward when paired with a mn also beginning in a vowel.

I like the name Brenna a lot and think that it works well with either mn. I prefer Elizabeth but if the initials are going to wind up spelling something due to the last name and Elizabeth as the mn, then I'd go with Catherine instead....

You know, Brenna Catherine was the name we've had picked all along-I just saw Brenna Elizabeth and thought it was sweet too. (We're Irish Catholics who always have a saint's name in there somewhere! My middle name is Elizabeth. :) ) But really, the initials would be BET so I think Brenna Catherine is the better choice overall and I love it anyway. But I'm still very interested in hearing comments on Brenna. Thanks everyone! :)

At first glance I saw "Brienna" which I thought was a twist in spelling of "Brianna".

I voted for Brenna Catherine for the same reason already mentioned (the problem with the vowels in Brenna Elizabeth).

Brenna is a fine name, but as a pp mentioned, it kind of gets thrown in with Breanna/Brianna/Briana -- especially since the Brianna spelling is in the top 20, so it's pretty familiar/expected and that's what people may see or hear much of the time.

I also like Bronagh/Brona, Bronwen, Branwen, Briallen and Bronia/Bragnae, which are similar.
