I really love Bree as a nickname, but I can't think of my style of name that goes with it. Breanna is a bit too common for me. Any ideas? TIA!

Sabrina

Gabrielle / Gabriela / Gabriella

Brigitte ("bri-ZHEET" or "bree-ZHEET")

Bryony ("BRIE-uh-nee")(I know there isn't a "bree" sound in there in tact, but the sounds are in there jumbled up)

Ambrosine (ditto)

I'd say Sabrina, but it's about as popular as Breanna. I ditto LoQuiero, Briseis would be amazing as a formal name for Bree.

I like Breda. And Brighid - although it sounds almost like Bree, so it would probably not need a nickname... Or maybe some variants of Brighid will do - Bridget, Brigid, or Brigida, the Italian and Spanish equivalent.
Oooh, I totally forgot - would about Greek Briseis? That's uncommon and Bree would be a lovely nickname!
