[Opinions] Re: Briar
in reply to a message by Joiya
I don't like it because its difficult for kids to say. It also sounds southern hick, like B'rer bear. Its also great to rhyme with liar, mire, dire, etc. Also, who wants to be named after thorns? Honestly, Thorne sounds better.

I guess thorns is an accurate association. I always think of sweetbrier and rose bushes honestly. I equate it with Ivy and Holly as a name, which both have an invasive and prickly quality in a plant, but are lovely as a word/name. I would have to disagree that Thorne sounds better, but totally get the pronunciation and rhyming issues.
