Briar-Rebecca as name

[Smallceramicfrog]

Thoughts on the name Briar-Rebecca, I have an incredibly boring name and am surrounded by siblings with unique names they love!
I think briar is beautiful and Rebecca is nice and classic if preferred could be used.
interested in others thoughts.
thanks

I don't think there's anything wrong with the name Briar. There's a very talented dancer called Briar Nolet. There's no need to clutter it up with a hyphenated other name.

In my head it's Briary Becca. I have a daughter named Rebecca. She regrets her name as she can't say the letter R so goes by Becky instead. Briary will probably end up being called Bri. Bria Riri Becca - not for me.

Just realised if the baby is another who can't say R when asked for her full name she'll have to say Bwiya Wee Wee Becca. Please don't do it.

sorry but Briar rhymes with Liar too easily

Reminded me of br’er rabbit. I’d just think it was his sibling!

Briar-Rebecca won’t thank you and will no doubt name her own kids the plainest possible. This I have observed in any cousins who have very unusual/individual names. Their own kids are all Maria, Anna, Tom and similar. I would infer that they didn’t enjoy having such special names themselves.

I’d definitely stick with Rebecca

Awful

Awful.

Bryony or Brianna instead of Briar which is a thorny bush so not a suitable name for a human being.

Have you considered Eieoie-Nevaeh, @Smallceramicfrog , or are you saving it for DD2?

Would you like to be called that?

1. any of a number of prickly scrambling shrubs, especially a wild rose.

Eg. Rose, blackberry, greenbrier

Briar is not really my style but I don't think it is "horrible." I like the idea of including a more conventional name and I really like Rebecca anyway, but I would do it without the hyphen. Briar Rebecca. Then she can use Rebecca or one of its short forms one day if she prefers to, but she's not stuck with an extra long name for everyday use .

I've never understood the love for Briar. It's half a pen stroke away from Brian.

Too long as a first name.
Fine as separate names

I mean it's not a surprise! It's also what I thought of because he always ends up in the thorny briar patch somehow or another.

I think it's fair to say that being named after a thorny bush wouldn't be something that I'd be particularly pleased about.

What a mouthful!

Absolutely awful.

Call her Rebecca

Briar!! Please, please, please think of the potential nicknames your daughter will be subjected to. Bramble, Thorn, Barb are the first ones that come to mind. There are many more! Please don't do it. Your child will hate you for it.

God no! Not Briar.
Priya is nicer.
Rebecca is nice too.

How do you get from Briar to Priya?

Names like Sally- Ann, Marie- Claire and Sarah-Jane are looked down upon? By whom?

Ummm maybe the r the i and the a?! 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️
