Bethenny Frankel: What's In A Name?

No, Bethenny Frankel of the Real Housewives of New York City did not name her child after hills, the MTV type or otherwise. The alternative spelling of the name Brynn means “hill” in Welsh but that was not the inspiration for the name. Bethenny was a guest on the fourth hour of the Today Show with Hoda and Kathy Lee via Skyppe and discussed her new baby Bryn and why they picked out that name. And it’s actually pretty darn touching…

Bryn was named in honor of Bethenny’s husband Jason Hoppy’s deceased brother Bryan, who passed away nineteen years ago. The family called Bryan by the nickname Bryn. Jason took Bethenny to his grave site and introduced them saying, “Byrn, meet Bethenny.” She thought then it would make a great name. She stated that naming their daughter Bryn was all her idea and that Jason’s family is thrilled with the choice. A nice tribute don’t you think?
