Righty'o. How would you pronounce it? IPA alphabet even maybe please?
The other association I get is "bran" as in all-bran. "Pieces of grain husk separated from flour after milling." So it's saying she's but an empty shell or something?

Nah, Clinton tries to repeat it as 'broon', so ipa /brun/ or /bryn/, depending if there's an implicit umlaut. Brunhilde would start with one of those syllables too.

It's not that unusual I have a friend named Christine who's husband is named Chris.
