Briar or Darcy for a girl?

+1 Blair and Briar sound terrible together, and seeing them side-by-side it looks like you're trying to send a coded message or something. The English language has other letters. Use them. Darcy isn't my style, but it kind of "matches" Blair and won't make you sound like you have a speech impediment when you're yelling on the playground for the next decade. |

People my age (47) and older will associate it with different fictional characters. And OP, I don't think you want your daughter to be associated with Briar Rabbit and Briar Fox - unless you're posting this from Klan HQ. This is in addition, of course, to Brian (i) being too close to Blair, and (ii) sounding outright stupid all on its own. |

It does match - they're both pretentious and affected. "It's social - demented and sad, but social." - J. Bender. |

Darcy is way better than Briar
A friend of mine was considering Darcy, and I was a little bummed when they didn't use it I just googled and Darcy is used in Varsity Blues (the cheerleader that does the whipped cream bikini) and Something Borrowed (Kate Hudson's character in the movie) |

| Maybe it's me, but I always think of Briar as a stripper name. Briar patch and all. |

That's a fat girl's name, anyway. |

+1. Your poor girl will forever be explaining to people that her name is not Mr. Brian Smith. |
