I like the sound of Blair and Briar together. But we’re also considering Darcy.



Blair and Briar sound HORRIBLE together!!! Like Brandon and Brenda. Please, no.


Ha ha! So true!

Darcy reminds me of Mr. Darcy.

Other names that could go with Blair:

Wren
Camille
Cecily

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


Isn't Br'er short for Briar?


Yes it is. "Another 47 y/o" looks kind of dim here.

First time I've ever commented on the name threads, I agree.

Have you ever been stuck in a briar patch? No, no, no to Briar.

No to Darcy.

(Although Darcy is minutely better than Briar which is a hard no.)

Darcy sounds like a Jane Austen name and you traveled back in time.

Bryony is great!


I love Bryony but my last name starts with a B and i worry itd be too alliterative.

Blair and Briar are much too close. I vote Darcy.

No. She’s named after Gossip Girl. Obviously.
