Birdie might seem spunky and vintage IRL, but on paper it seems vapid. I do like Bluebird as a name, so I guess I can't talk.
Briar always reminds me of Br'r Rabbit getting thrown in the briar patch. So in that way it seems folksy and saccharine (while prickly).
Bleu seems cheesy, but I looked it up, and it gets nearly the same amount of use in the US as Blue does! I feel like Blanche, Bambi, or Blessing would vibe better with the others but oh well.

Dreadful. Not a good idea, and the names chosen should not have been.
I don't like matching initials: as a schoolgirl I knew a family committed to using A- names for all their children. This got out of hand when someone was named Aileen (to provide the initial) but pronounced it Eileen (which they all rightly preferred).
The B names I'd have chosen, though only at gunpoint: Beatrice, Barbara, Bryony

Briar is gorgeous, feels unique and complex. Also sort of cutesy to me, like Princess Aurora's pseudonym "Briar Rose" in Disney.
Both Birdie and Bleu don't feel feminine to me for some reason. When I think Birdie, I think Badminton. When I think Bleu, I think of breadcrumbed meat wrapping more meat wrapping cheese. Though I guess I like both Badminton and Cordon Bleu, so I'll let them slide.
Matching first initial names always feel gimmicky though, and I personally don't like the B sound for names in general. This should be a last resort for any mother.

I don't usually like the same initial for all children because I think they should be different from each other. All of these names are very different, though, so that part is good. However, I would use Blue over Bleu. I don't like Birdie, but I love Briar and Blue. The three of them together seem a bit corny, but I'd give the sibling set points for not being too predictable.
Birdie is so cute! Of course it’s best as a nickname but honestly I can’t hate it as a full name.
Briar is fine, there’s one at the daycare my sister works at.
Bleu I really dislike, it’s very doggy like Rover.
As an overall sibset, it’s tacky, too cutesy and cringey…but I wouldn’t say it’s “bad”.

I agree with Bleu, but I personally hate the name 'Birdie' for the same reason you hate Bleu. Both sound oddly animalic
I say it's pretty darn sad.
I think all three names are ridiculous. I hate them!
Don't like any of them
