Talk:Brianna

There may be something encyclopedic in this recently added text, but as there has been some spam here lately I'm not sure...so for now I've taken it out:

and the speacial olmypics calls anyones house whose name is Brianna.

"The name Brianna is thought to have magical powers of good fortune. Many English women used to name their first born daughters Brianna in hopes of acheiving great wealth or luck. The name Brianna also is legendary for the extreme beauty that befalls anyone with that name.

Also the mythical goddess of love and power for certain russian tribes."

Change title to Briana ?

The name Briana is mentioned at the beginning as in "Brianna, Breanna, Breanne, Brianne, Briana, Brina, and Bryanna are feminine given names." In the next sentence it mentions that "Briana" is the original spelling. At the end, it then says "[o]ther variant spellings of the name include Briana or Breeann." Given that "Briana" is the original spelling, and that it is already mentioned in the opening sentence, it is surely wrong to also have it as an other variant. I would tidy it up, but the whole article, stub though it is, is a mess; especially "Variant spellings of Brianna include: Bryanna,[4] Breanna,[1] Brianne, and Brina.[3] Breanne is variant form of Breanna.[5]"

I propose the following. (1) rename the article to "Briana" which is the original spelling. (2) simply state that "Briana is a feminine given name." rather than complicate it with the list of all variants. (3) list all the variants in another sentence. (4) sort everything else out from there.

I do not know how to propose a name change properly, and I do not want to change everything else until it is done -- except, perhaps the "Other variants" bit, which does not make sense, so I am putting it here, and exploring the matter.--Dacramac (talk) 12:15, 13 August 2019 (UTC)
