It's a really neat name for anyone of any gender. A downside is that it's often mistaken for Brian written down, but many names have problems like that.

I'd see it more as a girl's name (though I prefer Briony). For a boy, I'd think more; Hawthorn, Elder, Sequoia (maybe). Hard to pronounce, not really.

Even though I like it better fir a girl, I don’t mind it for a boy. Other siblings should have other nature or word names.

I like it, and I think I like the Bryar spelling too for a boy. I don't think it would be hard to pronounce - no harder than Brian or Ryan at least. I'd expect a sibling to have a somewhat unusual name as well, maybe nature related.

I prefer it for a Boy. I like it for both genders.
Sibling names: Sloan, Tatum, Theo, Luna, Laurel, Eden, Emmie, Sylvie, Remy / Remi, Astrid, Olive, Nova, Vera, Cleo, Ezra, Rhys, Shay / Shea, Flynn, Finn, Max, Milo, Ford, Weston, and Everett.

Well, as a Canadian, it currently makes me think of the manhunt that just ended in which one of the suspects name was Bryar. https://www.thestar.com/vancouver/2019/08/10/family-of-chynna-deese-allegedly-killed-by-bc-teens-kam-mcleod-and-bryer-schmegelsky-says-they-forgive-and-have-mercy.html

In a vacuum, I find it kind of difficult to say and I guess the sound is pleasant enough, but it doesn't do much for me. I prefer something like Bryce.

I think it's ugly as a name for either a boy or a girl. I think it's ugly even for a pet.
It just has a snarling, harsh sound, and the association with sharp spiky things that stick to your socks or get in your dog's paws is too strong.

I don't like Briar for either gender, but I prefer it on a boy. I imagine a female Briar would bear the middle name Rose, and be named after the Disney princess. I can also see her as a spoilt and annoying child. I imagine a male Briar would be eccentric and slightly pretentious, maybe an artist.

Hi !!!

---

I think that Briar is pretty unisex.

---

On a girl it reminds me the famous princess but on a boy it is linked with a rose garden in my mind.

---

Infact in Italian 'rose garden' is roseto that would be a wonderful masculine name if it were actually used (unfortunately isn't).

---

So Briar has the same vibe of Roseto in my mind plus it is enough similar to Brian and Blair to be perfectly masculine.

---

I personally prefer Briar as masculine and something like Eglantine for a girl.
