[name_m]Hi[/name_m] everyone! I’m usually not a fan of names that start with b for little girls, but I’ve recently fallen in love with the name [name_f]Brielle[/name_f]. I think it’s beautiful unique without being too out there. I don’t know anyone with the name, which is fun! What are your general thoughts on [name_f]Brielle[/name_f]? Any suggestions for middle names or sibling names? Would it bother you if the ending of a name you liked was similar to the ending of your last name? That is my only concern with [name_f]Brielle[/name_f]. On the other hand, the beginning of my paternal grandfather’s name was similar to the ending of our last name, and he pulled off his name so well. I also think it would be special to give a future daughter a name with a similar sound to his. If this is too much, what are some alternatives? Is [name_f]Eliana[/name_f] usable in this situation?
Some combinations I like are:
[name_f]Brielle[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]
[name_f]Brielle[/name_f] [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] or [name_f]Brielle[/name_f] [name_f]Kathleen[/name_f]
[name_f]Brielle[/name_f] [name_f]Margot[/name_f]
[name_f]Brielle[/name_f] [name_u]Marie[/name_u]
[name_f]Brielle[/name_f] [name_f]Victoria[/name_f]
[name_f]Brielle[/name_f] [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f]
[name_f]Brielle[/name_f] [name_f]Amelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Brielle[/name_f] [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] +
[name_f]Brielle[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u]
Any feedback you can offer would be greatly appreciated! Thank you so much!
I love [name_f]Brielle[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u] or [name_f]Brielle[/name_f] [name_f]Caroline[/name_f]. I also like brynn or the more frilly brynlee. [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] is nice but very [name_u]Christmas[/name_u] sounding
I think [name_f]Brielle[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f], [name_f]Brielle[/name_f] [name_f]Victoria[/name_f], or [name_f]Brielle[/name_f] [name_f]Kathleen[/name_f] are the best
Brielle Katherine, Brielle Victoria, Brielle Margot and Brielle Caroline are lovely!
It depends on the other sounds in your name and how rhymey it is.
For example, Brielle Connell, Brielle Mitchell, Brielle Russell, Brielle Kendall etc sound okay to me, but Brielle Odell, Brielle Bell, Brielle Snell, Brielle Labelle sound a bit rhymey.
But again, it could work if you think it sounds okay!

@Fabfitfun77 Thank you so much! I love [name_f]Brielle[/name_f] [name_f]Caroline[/name_f]. I haven’t pinpointed it yet, but there is something special about it.
Thank you again!
Not my usual style, but really growing on me! It has some lovely nickname choices too like [name_f]Bri[/name_f] (Bree), [name_f]Elle[/name_f], [name_f]Ellie[/name_f], and [name_f]Belle[/name_f] / [name_f]Bel[/name_f].
[name_f]Brielle[/name_f] [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] would have to be my favourite!
@Greyblue Thank you so much! The similar sound is an -ell sound so maybe that works beat the beginning of the name instead of the end? What are your thoughts on this? I also really like [name_f]Gabriella[/name_f] but not the nickname [name_u]Gabby[/name_u]. Now that I think about it, my full name has a similar l sound at the end, although it’s slightly different than the one in [name_f]Brielle[/name_f]. I think other options could be:
[name_f]Eliana[/name_f]
[name_f]Gabriella[/name_f] +
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]
@lilyofthevale Thank you so much! I love [name_f]Brielle[/name_f] nn. [name_f]Ellie[/name_f] or [name_f]Elle[/name_f] especially! I feel like there’s something a little unexpected about it and I really like that It’s so sweet! I like [name_f]Brielle[/name_f] [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] too!
Thank you again!
Soundwise, I think that Brielle is a good combination of pretty and gritty; the strong Br start with the delicate ‘ielle’ ending. I do not know anyone with this name either.
Sometimes if the number of syllables is the same, or there are other similarities, I think names can become too rhymey with the same ending, but there are many combinations where this would not bother me. E.g. Brielle Powell sounds good to me & Brielle Neil does not.
@EdgeOfTheMeadow Thank you so much! The syllable count is a good way make this decision that I hadn’t thought of. In light of the last names you listed, I think it might bed good to keep [name_f]Brielle[/name_f] on my list, but consider other similar names. The endings are just bothering me, as much as I love the name. I do think some middle names could offset the awkwardness though! Maybe a short middle name that could be used together with the first name would help?
From your suggestions, I love [name_f]Brielle[/name_f] [name_f]Daphne[/name_f] and [name_f]Brielle[/name_f] [name_f]Georgia[/name_f]!
I think it depends on the other sounds/emphasis in the surname - it could work - I’d recommend saying it over to yourself, write it down, see if it sounds okay to you.
Gabriella ‘Brielle’ s a lovely idea!
@Greyblue Thank you so much! I will absolutely do this. I like [name_f]Gabriella[/name_f] and [name_f]Brielle[/name_f] more than [name_f]Gabrielle[/name_f] for some strange reason, I really don’t know why. I love both full names and think there are several options to ensure she doesn’t get called [name_u]Gabby[/name_u].
I like [name_f]Brielle[/name_f], it’s sweet familiar but not overly popular. I know one personality.
[name_f]Brielle[/name_f] [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] and [name_f]Brielle[/name_f] [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] are my favorite combos.
[name_f]My[/name_f] daughter’s name actually rhymes with our last name. Her name is 4 syllables and her last name is 1 and it doesn’t sound bad. We debated it for a while but decided we loved her name enough that it didn’t matter to us. [name_f]My[/name_f] husband’s grandmother name rhymes too and it’s never bothered her.
@PrincessShannon Thank you so much! I really love [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] and [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] with [name_f]Brielle[/name_f]. That is so good to know. I really appreciate the reassurance. Im sure your daughter carries her name beautifully! I like several memes that rhyme with my last name, but I never felt they were options because they rhyme slightly: (Arielle is another one I love.) But after reading this, I am thinking that maybe I have more options than I thought.
I think [name_f]Brielle[/name_f] is really pretty! It’s familiar while still being fairly unique. I love the strong B in the beginning with the dainty -elle syllable, too. As for a similar sounding last name, I wouldn’t worry unless it was a direct rhyme, like [name_f]Brielle[/name_f] Well.
Some middle name ideas (sorry for any repeats!)…

[name_f]Brielle[/name_f] [name_f]Jolie[/name_f]
@Indigoskies Thank you so much! I agree. I love that [name_f]Brielle[/name_f] is familiar but not a name I hear often at all. For b names, I also love [name_f]Bridget[/name_f], but I’m finding that [name_f]Brielle[/name_f] feels more like me. I love -elle or -el names and love that this one isn’t as popular as others while also not being so unique that she’d stand out in a potentially negative way. [name_f]My[/name_f] last name is two syllables so you don’t automatically jump to the part that rhymes, and that makes me feel more comfortable about possibly using it.
From your suggestions, I love:
Lots of great choices. I love [name_f]Brielle[/name_f] [name_f]Kathleen[/name_f]. [name_f]My[/name_f] daughter’s middle name is [name_f]Kathleen[/name_f]. I would probably not use [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] because of the [name_f]Elle[/name_f] in [name_f]Brielle[/name_f] runs into the [name_f]El[/name_f] in [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]. [name_f]My[/name_f] second choice would be [name_f]Brielle[/name_f] [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] or [name_f]Brielle[/name_f] [name_f]Victoria[/name_f]. I am loving all V names lately.
If this is too much, what are some alternatives? Is [name_f]Eliana[/name_f] usable in this situation?
