New possibility - Briar

[raindropsonroses]

Our other main contender is Verity.
What do you think of Briar, is it naff or nice?

I prefer Verity - Briar is too close to Brian for my liking

naff imo

Briar? Ehh - no.

Verity is nice.

Never heard of Briar. I would assume it's a boy's name, a variation of Brian.

Verity is lovely.

LOL - it's the name of my road!

naff

Briony?

Verity is lovely

Don't like Briar. Makes me think of prickly, thorny things.

Not keen on Verity either, sorry.

Terrible. A choice bad enough to shake me from apathetic, lurker MN status and actually post.

As in Richard Briars?
I would look at it and think someone hasn't finished writing the 'n' of Brian.

Hard think is, a lot of these sorts of names sound ok on presidential candidates, but don't suit babies. But then they're not babies forever so.....

call it fabio

Ooops, I suppose I suspected. Does anybody like it?
I liked it as in the Flower - Sweet Briar (Briar Rose).

what about Rose?

not keen on either to be honest - 1 a prickly thorny bush and 1 a prickly thorny woman

I worked with an american girl called Briar probably about 20 years ago.
She was absoloutely beautiful and it actually really suited her. I don't think I would have liked it had I not met her. But I now think of it as a very beautiful and feminine name.

Of course its nothing to do with Briar it is a girls name from one of the fairy tales but can't think which one. She was Briar Rose

I mean nothing to do with brian

so embaressing to put the wrong name when being snotty

I think it's LOVELY!

sleeping beauty was Briar Rose..i like it too.

ahhh - of course.
Thanks to Disney they are all now a twirling bundle of sparkles and nylon in my head

LOl at pagwatch.. think ive watched too much disney.. i want a dog to call it Mrs Merryweather after one of the fairies in sleeping beauty!!!

Verity is lovely.
I wouldn't have thought Briar was a name. How about Rose or Briony?

knew a little girl called Bryher once - island in the Scilly Isles I think?

lovely child but v tricky name IMO

i knew a nurse in NZ called briar - and she was v pretty, maybe she has beautified the name - but i like it

briony? as a compromise?

Verity is lovely.

The less said about Briar the better .

Ah Mrs Merryweather . so sweet.
You would like my DD. She has named her goldfish Mademoiselle Du Pompadour.

Small girls are odd arn't they?

I know two dogs called Briar. Never heard of it being a human name.
