I thoroughly dislike this name. This must be a regional thing, but in my area, the name would almost certainly get the bearer teased and/or outright bullied. A briar hopper, or briar for short, is used as an insult against Appalachians. Presumably because briars are prickly thorns. I can never hear Briar as a name and not automatically think of that. The appeal just escapes me completely.
