Braelyn

Does Braelyn sound like a made up name? Any likes/dislikes about it? I usually don't like "different" type names, but for some reason, I think Braelyn is pretty.

I dislike it. It is one of those trendy names that sounds made up IMO.

Yes, it sounds made-up. It's extremely trendy. I don't like it.

Yes, it does. I think it's awful. It doesn't sound different. It sounds trendy, youneek, and "Teen Mom" ish. I can't picture an adult named Braelyn, let alone a professional woman. That and the whole "bray" sound of a donkey is not attractive at all.

In addition to agreeing with everyone else, it sounds like a boy's name. The spelling looks more feminine but if I heard Braylen/Breylin/Braylyn/etc. I'd think boy.

Braelyn doesn't just sound made up, it is made up. And, like a previous poster said, it reminds me of a donkey (bray: to utter the loud, harsh cry of a donkey).

Please don't do that to your child. I would not know how to spell it or pronounce it. It sounds like a made up name.

I like the way it sounds. I also like Braeden for a boy. BUT i'm not using either because they are too trendy.  If you love it, go for it!

I'm sorry OP, but I really REALLY dislike that name. Yes it's super trendy and made up sounding. AND it combines two of my naming pet peeves, the 'ae' letter combo and tacking 'lyn' onto the end of a random syllable and calling it a girl's name. Now that I've realized that, it might actually be my most hated girl's name.

Wow, I am kinds shocked at the responses. Aren't all names made up? They came from somewhere. Anyway, its a famous basketball player. Male spelled Braylon. I think it sounds girly though and considered Braylen for a girl. And when I told people everyone loved it. If you like it go for it.
