My trash ex and his gf he knocked up a month after meeting (in other words also trash) named their BOY Briar earlier this year. No.

Darcy Blair sounds ok.
Briar Blair sounds strange, like Briar Blair Jones, for example.

Blair and Briar?! No way. It sounds like you gave your kids the same name. They’re so similar the girls are going to get confused all the time.

I like them both OP. Just no more Clementines, Logans, Amalie, Vivians and Charlottes....Thing is-once you name her-it will be perfection

It is a name. It means "a thorny patch", and was the original name of Sleeping Beauty - Briar Rose.

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.


That’s Brer Rabbit and Brer Fox. Briar is a dumb name but not for this reason.
- another 47-year-old


51 and I went right to Uncle Remus...Pleeese don't throw me in the briar patch! I promise I am not racist but my uncle read us the stories growing up and we loved Brer Rabbit and Brer Bear!
I don't honestly like Darcy but would always choose it over Briar.

I cringed real hard when I saw this subject line. No thanks on both of those choices.

Darcy is lovely. Briar sounds like an 80’s Name.
