| If you are really set on it, what about spelling it "Breyer" instead so it isn't associated with the thorny vegetation. |

Much better to associate the child with ice cream. Seriously, Inthink of Briar Rose too, and in generally have pemblems naming a child for a Disney princess (and feel sorry for all of the Elsas of the world). |

| I didn't have the viscerally negative reaction of other pps here bit definitely only acceptable for a girl. It's decidedly feminine and the only context I know it in (other than briar fox/bear where it's not their name really) is sleeping beauty. |

| And ask all these vegetation/thorn people how they feel about rose... |

To me, Briar seems decidedly feminine.
I don't care for it myself. If you like the sound, what about Briony/Bryony for a girl? |

| What is distinctly feminine about scrambling shrubs with thorns? I am sincerely curious. Or is it just the sounds? I can't think of any other standard girl name that ends in -ar. |
