My sister is named Brenna and she really likes it. Sometimes when she was younger she wished her name was more common (especially when she wanted to buy something with her name on it) but for the most part she likes having an uncommon name. I also love this name and think its a great fit for her personality. She is kind, energetic, and very determined.
My name is Brenna, and when I was younger I didnt like it either because no one could ever say it right. But now that I am an adult, I like it because when someone calls my name, I know they are talking to me! I even went as far as to name my kids unusual names. My daughter is Taylor Mische and my son is Callum Michael. It is definately a challenge growing up but it makes you strong!
