Hello again:)
We went away this weekend and came back with a new baby name idea for sister [name]Isla[/name] [name]Hope[/name] - - wdyt of [name]Brenna[/name] [name]Rose[/name]?
[name]Isla[/name] [name]Hope[/name]
[name]Brenna[/name] [name]Rose[/name]
DH & I both think it’s really pretty. . .our only hang up, well mostly dh’s hangup is that it doesn’t “mean” anything. . .with [name]Isla[/name], she has my middle name, [name]Hope[/name]. So it’s meaningful in that way, but [name]Brenna[/name] [name]Rose[/name] just sounds pretty but doesn’t have. . .weight.
I think [name]Brenna[/name] [name]Rose[/name] is a very pretty name. I used to work in a daycare and there was the sweetest little girl named [name]Brenna[/name]. She made me fall in love with the name.
Oh, I love the name [name]Brenna[/name] [name]Rose[/name]! I wouldn’t worry about the name not “meaning” anything! I looked it up on Nameberry, and [name]Brenna[/name] is Irish for “raven.” [name]Isla[/name] is a Scottish name, and [name]Isla[/name] and [name]Brenna[/name] go perfectly together, because of their Irish/Scottish heritage. And [name]Rose[/name] is a perfect mn to pair with an Irish first name.
I love [name]Brenna[/name] so much. [name]Rose[/name] is kind of a filler middle name. So I wouldn’t use [name]Rose[/name]. But [name]Brenna[/name] [name]Rose[/name] sounds very pretty. If I were going to name my daughter [name]Brenna[/name], I would consider these middle names:
[name]Brenna[/name] [name]Claire[/name]
[name]Brenna[/name] [name]Fay[/name]
[name]Brenna[/name] [name]Hope[/name]
[name]Brenna[/name] [name]Kate[/name]
[name]Brenna[/name] [name]Mae[/name] - I think this is my favorite name combo on my list.
[name]Brenna[/name] [name]Maeve[/name]
[name]Brenna[/name] [name]Paige[/name]
[name]Brenna[/name] [name]Plum[/name]
[name]Brenna[/name] [name]Violet[/name]
[name]Brenna[/name] [name]Rose[/name] is quite pretty, and goes nicely with [name]Isla[/name] [name]Hope[/name]. I understand your feeling that it doesn’t have any ‘weight’ without a family name or significant meaning. Why don’t you try out some family names with [name]Brenna[/name] and see if any catch your ear?
I love [name]Brenna[/name] [name]Rose[/name] and I love [name]Brenna[/name] [name]Claire[/name]. I am partial to [name]Claire[/name] since that is my #1 girl name and it does mean clear or bright which is nice. [name]Both[/name] are beautiful, good luck!
Thanks everyone! I’m glad to get such positive responses! The only other person I’ve mentioned the name to is my mother who gave a very noncommittal response.
As for family names for mn, here’s what I have:
[name]Brenna[/name] [name]Jean[/name]
[name]Brenna[/name] [name]Joy[/name] - I like both of these, but it makes her initials BJ, would there be teasing or is it a non issue since it’s just her mn and not her last name (which starts with S, so she would be BS, lol!)
[name]Brenna[/name] [name]Hope[/name] - that would be giving her the same mn as [name]Isla[/name], which I’ve heard is a thing to do sometimes. . not sure how I feel about it.
[name]Brenna[/name] [name]Willa[/name] - dh’s mn is [name]William[/name], so is his dad’s name, but not sure I like the double A endings. . .
As for family names for mn, here’s what I have:
[name]Brenna[/name] [name]Jean[/name] - “n” heavy
[name]Brenna[/name] [name]Joy[/name] - I like both of these, but it makes her initials BJ, would there be teasing or is it a non issue since it’s just her mn and not her last name (which starts with S, so she would be BS, lol!) - B.J. is not so good imo.
[name]Brenna[/name] [name]Hope[/name] - that would be giving her the same mn as [name]Isla[/name], which I’ve heard is a thing to do sometimes. . not sure how I feel about it. - I think it’s a cute idea because I love the name [name]Hope[/name].
[name]Brenna[/name] [name]Willa[/name] - dh’s mn is [name]William[/name], so is his dad’s name, but not sure I like the double A endings. . . - [name]Brenna[/name] [name]Willa[/name] sounds awkward.
[name]Brenna[/name] [name]Meryl[/name] - how about [name]Brenna[/name] [name]Mariel[/name]?
[name]Brenna[/name] [name]Beth[/name] - how about [name]Brenna[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name]? I love it.
[name]Brenna[/name] [name]Diane[/name]
all yucks.
an aunt is [name]Ruth[/name],
[name]Brenna[/name] [name]Ruth[/name]? kinda sounds like baby ruth. . . - I kind of like it!
mom’s maiden name is [name]Sawyer[/name],
[name]Brenna[/name] [name]Sawyer[/name]? - [name]Brenna[/name] [name]Sawyer[/name] is VERY cool!
oh I meant to add, dh’s grandmother is [name]Marguerite[/name],
[name]Brenna[/name] [name]Marguerite[/name]. . .huge mouthful of a name! But are there any cute nicknames/variations of [name]Marguerite[/name] that might sound good with [name]Brenna[/name]?
[name]Isla[/name] [name]Hope[/name] and [name]Brenna[/name] [name]Rose[/name] work very well together - they match perfectly! My only issue is that, compared to [name]Isla[/name], [name]Brenna[/name] feels a tad bit 90s to me. Maybe that is just me…
I know you’ve probably already named your baby, but I hope you went with [name]Brenna[/name]…!
My name is [name]Brenna[/name] [name]Rose[/name] [name]Lucille[/name] [name]Sullivan[/name] (Yes, initials BS-- but I’ve never been teased for it), and I love my name. Only drawback is that I can never find things (souvenirs, etc.) that have my name on them.
Best of luck for the future!
