[Opinions] Brielle and Bria?

It's not my usual style but I've recently really been liking the sound of Brielle. Also, Bria, but that looks too stark to me. I dislike Brianna completely though. What are your thoughts on Brielle and Bria? Trendy? Cutesy? Nicknamey? Any combo suggestions? I'd like it in the MN spot just as much as FN if not more so, so please suggest some of those, too.

Really like bothI recently discovered Brielle and I really like it a lot. I've always liked Bria; it's a very pretty name. I don't think the names are too cutesy and I would use them.

I love love love Brielle! To my ears it does not sound yuppie/trendy--truthfully I've never met a girl or woman with this name. I would use it as a full name, and call her Elle as a nickname. My husband, on the other hand, is not so entralled.Bria is okay.

Brielle seems incomplete to me. It's alright, it's just sort of like Elle itself, and even Bella... they're missing something for me, and it makes them vaguely mediocre. I guess Brielle also gets some unassuming character from its similarity to Brianna, for me.Bria seems trendy and invented, but it's a style I kind-of like anyways. It's more like Suri than like, say, Kierra. Sorta wannabe-Euro/exotic little name, but it's so tidy and elegant, I could justify it. And I'd think it made a nice new-sounding nickname for Gabrielle, if you wanted to use it that way.

Trendy, cutesy and nicknamey all in one. I do, however, like Brielle a lot as a nickname for Gabrielle. Bria could definitely work that way too.

They both strike me as horribly nouveau yuppie. Like, the yuppiest of the yuppie. Up there with names that end in -ana. D: Array

Very trendy. For some strange reason, Brielle sounds like bread to me, like a brioche. I can picture somebody eating Brie (or Bria, even!) on fresh brielle and drinking a good Cabernet Sauvignon with it. lol
