Briar is such a lovely name!

Loads of great suggestions on this thread - much more interesting than the default Rose (nothing against Rose, but it is a complete ‘filler’ middle name, along with Grace and May).

That's a really nice name.

Ah what a lovely name!

Briar is a lovely name. The connotation it has of wild roses makes me think of other plants as a source of a middle name (Hebe for example), which would be beautiful but perhaps risk making her just too shrubby.

Would tree names work? Rowan perhaps.

Thanks for the suggestions!
I liked Fallon as a first name and I like Wren as well!
We also liked Adeline but I’m not 100% sure it goes as a middle name?
Evadne is very me but I’m not sure OH would like it!

Briar Carolina

I think Adaline would go fine with Briar. Adaline is a beautiful name in its own right and flows well Briar.

Briar Asterope
Briar Anne

Briar lane, that's the name of some place I drove before 🤔

I know it's not irish but this sounded sweet to me... Briar Fawn. And I thought a baby deer in roses x

Briar Angharad
Briar Eloise
Briar Endellion
Briar Angelica
Briar Artemis

I don't think Briar means rose? I think it means thorny bush? As a name it's often paired with Rose-like in sleeping beauty, as the full name Briar Rose means rose bush, Briar on its own means prickly thorn bush.

Could there be two middle names like:
Briar Rose Elowen?
or
Briar Wren

I feel like one syllable works well after Briar

Got to be rose surely? As in sleeping beauty

Our son has two middle names so I wouldn’t mind two but struggling for one to start with! 🤣
