In Ireland if you call someone a 'briar' it means they are being grumpy and bad tempered, named after the prickly plant with thorns. I don't like it at all for that reason.

Lila Genevieve or Lila Madeleine are OK, but I don't think of Lila as a very strong name.

Is that Briar as in the prickly thorny plants growing in hedgerows ?

I like Lila Madeleine

Lila Genevieve and Lila Madeleine are beautiful names.

Not keen on any of the others.

Martine and Janine are family name options but I am on the fence about honor names as I feel like the in law side of the family that we dont honor would take offense. I feel middle names change the vibe of the first name so its important to me to find the right name combo. But my husband thinks middle names are pointless as well!!

Middle names are never used, and I don't even have one. I would choose a name with the most meaning to you, mayos family name?

Lila Madeleine
Lila Genevieve

I don’t think Briar flows that well with any of the names you suggest, except perhaps Valentina, but I like Briar Genevieve and Briar Madeleine.
