I also now think it's highly like to be derived from ''mignonne'', which is French for pretty/cute/charming. POSSIBLY even ''lionne'', which is French for lioness (as in a female sea lion), though not so much.

There is no -dine or even -ine in this name that suggests a link to "undine". To the best of my etymological knowledge this is a combination of "brio" and "lionne". Although "brine" may not be directly linked, overall the entire name may reference this word. If you pronounce it "brai-on-ee" the vocal resemblance to "brai-n" is quite striking.
