Bree

I really love this name! It has a smooth, strong sound that you can’t get with a longer name. Also, it’s definitely feminine, but honestly I could see this as unisex, it doesn’t feel too girly for a boy either.

A lot of people dislike this name for being too short but I think it's really sweet. I prefer the spelling Brie but both are great!

Too short! Pick something else!

I love the name Bree, however I can't see the name on a baby or kid.

My (real) name is Breathe, and almost everyone I meet confuses it with “Bree” or even “Breath” sometimes, haha. But that's okay, I love my name, and I'm so grateful my Mama chose it for me. It's one of my favorite things about myself :)

Fine as a nickname, but too short, youthful, and unprofessional as a first name.

I love this name! It’s beautiful and elegant and I love it for a girl and definitely not for a boy, just so you know. It sounds too feminine.

I prefer the Brie spelling. The cheese association doesn't bother me!

My name is Breonna, but I have always gone by just Bre. One E. I love my name, it is youthful. It's short and spunky. Just like me! I'm not often asked if "Bre" is short for anything however. I do get the "you're a cheese" comment on occasion.

Makes me think of the cheese, Brie.

"This is Bree, and this is her brother, Camembert".

Beautiful name sounds great for a carefree funloving girl and can translate to teen and graceful for a woman.

I like it as a nickname for Sabrina or some other name with the "Bree" sound in it, but it sounds too minimal and wallflower-y as a full first name.

Before Bree Timmins, my impression of the name was that it chosen by wannabe lazy hippy parents, who read "The Lord of the Rings" up until the point the hobbits reached the town of Bree, on the edge of the Shire.

---

They then went, "Geeze, this book is really LONG! I'm just going to skip through it now but tell everyone that I read the whole thing".

---

They then chose the name Bree for their daughter to demonstrate how very up with Tolkien they are.

---

Either that, or they called their daughter after the cheese, but changed the spelling because they were worried it would be pronounced BRY.

---

Either way, my impression was that it was a name chosen by idiots.

I think this is a very pretty name! I don't like the names Gabreiella or Brianna and I don't think "Oh, Bree must be short for something!" It can stand on its own. I know a girl named Bree and have always liked the name.

Well my name is Bree just Bree and like my name it's different like me but it is annoying because people always think my name is Brianna.

Misspelled cheese.

My name is Bree and weirdly enough I am homeschooled! And a bit of a dork too. I get compliments on my name and am rarely asked if it is short for something. I've always loved being named Bree.

This name is kind of simplistic and rather like a nickname as opposed to a name on its own. My mother can't stand this one.

Too minimalist. Sounds like a nickname for Sabrina or Gabrielle, which I would rather use. The name is somewhat too girly and youthful.

My friend's name is Bree and it is not short for anything. She said in preschool, her preschool teacher called her Brianna and she did not answer because she did not know she was talking to her! The teacher called her parents and said that she would not answer her name, Brianna, and her parents said her name is Bree, just Bree. The lady had never heard of that as a plain first name.

It just reminds me of the cheese.

I love this, but only as a nickname. My name is Brianna, but people call me Bri, which I pronounce the same way.

My niece is called Briea pronounced BREE-A but I can't find that name on here. I think it's a lovley name, but Bree is alright too.

I really like this name but I can't imagine it as a nickname for Gabrielle.

I like Bree, but only as a nickname, like for Gabriella or something.

It sounds like short for Briana. I didn't know that this was a name all by itself. I think that if you had this name, people would always be wondering if it was short for something.
