There is no "a" in my name

I know the lack of vowels is confusing to the non-Welsh, but all native English speakers should know about "sometimes y" (for those who might not be, it acts as "i" in a word that otherwise lacks vowels). As much as I'd like think I could pass as male I really don't, so when I'm standing in front of you there's no excuse for calling me Brian. In written interaction this is even worse - just cut and paste and save yourself the embarrassment.

(This was precipitated by getting an e-mail addressed to "Bryann", replying to an e-mail I signed as "Brynn". Srsly.)

ETA: Just to be clear, my name is pronounced "Brin". In case you weren't sure ;P
