What about Dabney or Delaney? Have that same Blair feel. Darcy was a doll in the 80s, so it sounds strange.

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


Good god, were you high when you wrote this?

Larla and Larlo are better.

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.


I thought Brother but maybe I am wrong?

Darcy. I only know one and she is an intelligent, kind and interesting person.

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




Don’t do it, OP!

Darcy hands down over Briar.

Maybe name her Lemon instead?

A friend recently named her baby Briar and at first I thought it was lovely. The more I think about it though, it’s so trailer trash. I think that’s the opposite of what you’re going for...

Ok, OP. In a rare unanimous decision on DCUM, Briar must be off the table.
