Help[Opinions] Re: Briar (as a feminine name)
in reply to a message by erb816
I like it when it is the first half of Briar Rose but if the Rose is absent then I am conflicted. I still like it okay just not nearly as much. To me Briar Rose is everything and when it's just Briar it doesn't seem as appealing and feels more coarse and thorny. Would you have the same aversion if it was a longer varient of Rose?
Please rate my "Names I would use" list if you have a spare moment, feel free to rate other lists too if you want but ik there's a lot lol, thank you :) https://www.behindthename.com/pnl/223226/138473

Reasons for saying "no" to Briar Rose
My reasons for rejecting Briar Rose (as both a combo and a double-name) are basically:
1. I don't like the ending -r and beginning R- running into each other;
2. Using the exact name from the fairy tale feels really cliche / overdone.
Rose is my own middle name, and I don't dislike Rose as a name at all (though I'd more likely use Rosalie); but that's why I say no to Briar Rose. I don't know if Briar Rosalie is better or worse.
