Bryan Harris is a name homey... so it would stay the same

It depends. Spanish speakers who live close to the U.S. and are familiar with English will pronounce the name not much differently than Americans do.
However, I onced worked with a fellow from Uruapan in southern Mexico where the people had little contact with English. I know he would have pronounced Bryan Harris as "bRRah-een Hahrr-eess" (with both r's trilled).
I once knew a student from Peru in college who also pronounced the name Brian / Bryan as "bRRah-een."
Some Spanish and Italian dictionaries list Brián as a Spanish form of Brian / Bryan and Briano as an Italian form but I doubt that most Spanish and Italian speakers use them. It is, after all, a name of Irish origin possibly related to Welsh brenn ("leader ; chieftan" ) and is rarely used outside the English speaking world.
