  1. My name is Briar Paige, and I absolutely love it!! I get lots of compliments on it every day. I have only been called “Brian” on a couple of occasions, mostly when I am introducing myself to elderly people; other than that, it is a perfect name!

  2. I love love love gender neutral names for girls.. Sinse we have all B names I wanted something pretty but not frilly..

  3. I chose the name for our name list because it was the name the fairies called Sleeping Beauty when they hid her away in the forest. Sleeping Beauty was a nickname I gained in soccer when I had gotten mono and would fall asleep during our games. I also like nature based names and a Briar bush is a wild rose bush. My boyfriend had final say of names after we agreed upon our list and Briar was the name he fell in love with for her. My family was also obsessed with the name and mentioned how much they loved it whenever we said it. I love that the name is girly without sounding girly. One of my students kept telling me it was a boy name until I figured out she thought I was saying Brian. All these little things help make her name even more special.

  5. We named our daughter Briar Rose, at first I wasnt a huge fan of the name.. this is always the case I’ve noticed, the names I love get old and the ones I’m not a fan of grow on me.

    My husband and all his siblings are BR names and then all my nieces and nephews are also BR names.. so it was important for him to follow the trend.. so we did..

    I’m not a fan of girly girl names so this was perfect.
