What do you think of [name]Briar[/name]? Until recently, I thought it was harsh sounding and a bit tacky (because I’ve only ever heard it used with [name]Rose[/name], I think), and also it’s similar looking to [name]Blair[/name], which I can’t stand. Anyway, I heard somebody else mention it as a middle name and I [name]LOVE[/name] it. It also sparks a lovely, personal memory for some reason, of a song that my dad used to listen to in the summer time when I was younger, which I love about it.
It would probably be used in the middle, but I need help in finding a first name for it. Any suggestions? Nothing seems quite right. I’m not fussy on whether it has a second middle either. I love the [name]Eliza[/name] and [name]Briar[/name] together, but the sound of [name]Eliza[/name] [name]Briar[/name] isn’t that good at all.
As suggested by east93, [name]Elizabeth[/name] [name]Briar[/name] flows nicely. Because of my accent, I pronounce “[name]Briar[/name]” like “BRY-ah”. So, for me, that rules out any first name ending in -er, -ar, -or, -ur or -a. Names with different endings work out. Such as:
[name]Romilly[/name] [name]Briar[/name]
[name]Amelie[/name]/[name]Amalie[/name] [name]Briar[/name]
[name]Arlette[/name] [name]Briar[/name]
[name]Lilibeth[/name] [name]Briar[/name]
[name]Charlotte[/name] [name]Briar[/name]
[name]Arielle[/name] [name]Briar[/name]
[name]Milly[/name] [name]Briar[/name]
[name]Isaline[/name] [name]Briar[/name]
Floriane [name]Briar[/name]
[name]Sibyl[/name] [name]Briar[/name]
[name]Ione[/name] [name]Briar[/name]
[name]Faye[/name] [name]Briar[/name]
[name]Lillian[/name] [name]Briar[/name]
[name]Isabelle[/name] [name]Briar[/name]
A few of those are based off names in your signature; do you like any of them?
Oh, and you could divide [name]Eliza[/name] [name]Briar[/name] with another middle name, which I think would be possible with a short, different-sounding one:
[name]Eliza[/name] [name]Sage[/name] [name]Briar[/name]
[name]Eliza[/name] [name]Faye[/name] [name]Briar[/name]
[name]Eliza[/name] [name]Flynn[/name] [name]Briar[/name]
[name]Eliza[/name] [name]Drew[/name] [name]Briar[/name]
[name]Eliza[/name] [name]Jay[/name] [name]Briar[/name]
[name]Eliza[/name] [name]Tess[/name] [name]Briar[/name]
[name]Eliza[/name] [name]Paige[/name] [name]Briar[/name]
[name]Eliza[/name] [name]Laine[/name] [name]Briar[/name]
[name]Eliza[/name] [name]Jane[/name] [name]Briar[/name]
And the obvious middle names: [name]Grace[/name], [name]Lee[/name], [name]Ann/name, [name]Rose[/name] and so on have potential.
I absolutely love [name]Briar[/name] as a MN! I know someone on another name forum who’s considering naming her third child [name]Charlotte[/name] [name]Briar[/name] if it’s a girl (her other two are [name]Amelia[/name] [name]Eden[/name] and [name]Jack[/name] [name]Bradley[/name], so her style seems right up your alley!). I completely love that. So much so that I almost messaged her and asked if she minded if I added it to my list, haha.
What about:
[name]Emilia[/name] [name]Briar[/name]/[name]Amelia[/name] [name]Briar[/name]
[name]Camilla[/name] [name]Briar[/name]
[name]Sybella[/name] [name]Briar[/name] (love this, actually!)
[name]Beatrice[/name] [name]Briar[/name] (sort of like the alliteration here…)
[name]Lana[/name] [name]Briar[/name]
[name]Caroline[/name] [name]Briar[/name]
[name]Tess[/name] [name]Briar[/name]
[name]Tabitha[/name] [name]Briar[/name]
[name]Imogen[/name] [name]Briar[/name]
Growing up in the PNW where blackberries or “Briars” are everywhere, It actually is a really pleasant association for me! Childhood memories of blackberry picking in the warm evenings with cotton floating in the air like snowflakes was just magical. And the Brer rabbit thing is just an old kids story - I dont think many people know about it
It’s funny that its been revived because I’ve recently loved [name_f]Briar[/name_f], even as a first name. [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Briar[/name_f] is on my list, as is [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] [name_f]Briar[/name_f] and as an experiment of sorts - [name_f]Briar[/name_f] [name_f]Annabel[/name_f].
I love [name_f]Briar[/name_f] and it was on our first name list for a good while but [name_f]Veda[/name_f] won out in the end for us. If I was going to use it as a MN I’d be sure to use a longer first name. Tessica [name_f]Briar[/name_f] is what first comes to mind.
Well my says it I like it.
You could use [name_f]Blossom[/name_f] for the first name.Other name I like with it.
[name_f]Penelope[/name_f]
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f]
[name_f]Sadie[/name_f]
[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f]
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]
[name_u]Eden[/name_u]
[name_f]Grace[/name_f]
[name_f]Madelyn[/name_f]
[name_f]Paige[/name_f]
[name_f]Alexandra[/name_f]
[name_f]Jessica[/name_f]
