I'm doing exactly the same thing, except that I'm using "br0" as both
the connection name and the interface name.

$ nmcli connection add type bridge con-name br0 ifname br0 ip4 
172.31.0.254/24
Connection 'br0' (0946d439-8868-4e39-9263-15f654488106) successfully added.

$ nmcli device
DEVICE     TYPE      STATE         CONNECTION
enp61s0u1  ethernet  connected     Wired connection 1
wlp1s0     wifi      disconnected  --
br0        bridge    unmanaged     --
lo         loopback  unmanaged     --

$ ip addr show dev br0
7: br0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN group 
default qlen 1000
    link/ether 0e:01:45:a0:27:7b brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

I tried using 'System br0' as the connection name with no luck.  It
seems like there's something "magic" about the interface name br0 that
prevents it from working.
