Names that Peaked in 1994

While this spelling is running a close second on the popularity charts to the original Briana, it feels more invented -- probably because it is. Some parents may want to move further away from Brian, root name for all the feminine variations, and so prefer the e versions. But we like the older, more authentic Briana best. Another spelling way: Breanna.

Typical of formula that takes a traditional name syllable and adds -isha ending.

Mix a bit of old-fashioned Jane with the male-inflected Zane, et voila.
