[Opinions] sugestions for a middle name for Briar?
there is the obvious Briar Rose which i think is so lovely but Rose is such an overused middle name for girls, so i was just wondering if anyone had any other suggestions. she would mainly be called Brie as a nickname (yes like cheese)
some ideas i already had
Briar Juliet
Briar Esme
Briar Faye
Briar Joy
thanks!
also forgot to say the people who this is for have an older son called Atlas Brooks if that helps anything.

I agree, Dornröschen/Briar-Rose is a stunning nice one, as is Schneewittchen/Schneeweißchen/Snow-White & Rosenrot🌹/Rose-Red.
For real life, my suggestions :Briar Amaryllis
Briar Arantxa
Briar Azalea
Briar Chrysanthe
Briar Freesia
Briar Gretchen
Briar Isalind
Briar Linnea
Briar Lorelai
Briar Nesrin
Briar Solenn
Briar Theres
Briar
... Briar Tamsin
I prefer Briar for a boy, but for a girl I'd like these middle names (some of them have already been mentioned):Briar Willa
Briar Anthea
Briar Saskia
Briar Cassia
Briar Kasia
Briar Katya
Briar Morgana
Briar Siobhan
Briar Antigone
Briar Megaera
Briar Annika
Briar Anya
Briar Freya
Briar Fiona
Briar Gwenllian I tried to stay away from other plant names like Willow, Sage, Hazel, etc. even though they fit the vibe.
I tried to stick to earthy names and some witchy ones. Briar is cute but also thorny and feral, she's crawling around in the woods gathering berries in muddy overalls while the names like Juliet and Seraphine are dancing in a palace in pristine ball gowns. I can't see a way to make those styles match up into a combo.

I really like Briar! On your list my favorite is Briar Esme. I also think 'B'/Bea is a cute nickname.Other ideas:Briar Madalyn
Briar Tessa
Briar Anya
Briar Dove
Briar Lacey
Briar Maeve
Briar Ava
Briar Lena

Briar Emma
I agree that Briard Rose is too obvious. I think the middle name should be naturey/trendy or mythological/trendy to match Atlas Brooks.My ideas:Briar Athena
Briar Wren
Briar Phoenix
Briar Sage
Briar Penelope
Briar Nyx
Briar Juno
Briar Ocean
Briar Delta
Briar Isis
Briar Astrid
Briar Zenith
Briar SoleilPS Atlas Brooks is lovely! I could see myself using it.
thank you! i am probably percent going to use atlas in the future (atm just naming video game characters not real babies sadly). I love and thought about Soleil from your list but would absolutely butcher the pronunciation every time i tried to say it lol.
Briar Louise
Briar Felicity
Briar Margaret
Briar Alessia
Briar Devany
Briar Lily
Briar Elizabeth
It needs a longer middle, I think.Briar Amandine
Briar Juliette looks better than Briar Juliet
Briar Amaranth
Briar Celeste
Briar Geneviève
Briar Eveline
Briar Seraphine
Briar Eloise
Briar Millicent
Briar Emmeline
Briar Morrigan Briar called Brie makes no sense to me but what can ya do.
Briar Acacia. The Acacia flowers have thorns.
My first thought was definitely Briar Rose because I've got Disney on the brain.Briar Eve
Briar Jane
Briar Lillian
Briar Magnolia
Briar EmiliaSome of these are a little more common middle names than others, but the rhythm and flow is definitely there if you don't mind the classics.
I love Briar Juliet!I'd also suggest Briar Jessamine / Jessamyn
Briar Juliet is stunning and my favorite on your list!Other suggestions:
Briar Delaney
Briar Genevieve
Briar Gwendolyn
Briar Lilliana
Briar Noelle
