Just found out today, IT'S A GIRL! need middle name to go with Brynlee

wlbmom2013

Having trouble finding a middle name

Possibilities:
Jo
Nichole
Rhea
Renee
Cheyenne

Please pick or suggest another

I almost think Brynlee Cheyenne would just be too much?!?!?!

Thanks in advance!

I think Rhea is such a great, unique underused name that it would be a shame to middle name it. The last time Rhea was even in the top 1000 was in 04, and it was 911. Brynlee and Brinley have both shot up so fast, it be such a shame to have a gorgeous middle name and share a first name with multiple peers. 

Rhea Brynn would be amazing, and there's no chance of her being Rhea last initial.

Brynlee Nichole is my pick
Brynlee Jo sounds redneck and the others I don't like as the mn.

magsugar13

nothing goes with brynlee/brinlee/brinleigh/brinley nothing.

Brynlee Nichole is my pick from your list, but I think you can do much better than Brynlee. Nichole, Rhea, Renee, and Cheyenne are far better than Brynlee. 

Brynn Nichole

Brynn Renee

Brynn Cheyenne

Brynn Lee

Rhea Brynn

Josephine (nn Jo) Brynn

Johanna (nn Jo) Brynlee

Brynn Nichole would be lovely. Brynlee anything is just not good. It's made up and sounds like a forever 3 year old. FWIW, DD is Brynn and we get compliments on her name all the time. DS calls her Brynny, which is adorable since she's 2. I can't imagine calling her that as an adult.

Please don't do Brynlee... it's trendy in that terrible kind of way. I don't really like any of those mn options but they would all make better first name choices.


ETA: posted too early

Please don't name your child Brynlee. If you super love it, maybe do Brynn with middle name Leigh but don't saddle your child with that. Brynn Nicole is my fav so far.

Brynlee is real bad. Like the PP suggestions of Rhea Brynn or Brynn Nichole.

What about Brynn Lee Lastname

ashleyandely

Brynn Lee/Leigh is the only way to go.

Karenin

Agree. you can use Brynn and Leigh/Lee but Brinlee is a made up name and would look awful on school applications and resumes. Think of your daughter as an adult, not just a sweet little baby. You can always call her by her first and middle names so you can say Brynn Leigh so it sounds the same, but then she has a more professional sounding option to go by Brynn as she ages.

I feel like Brynlee is the new Kinsley. It just sounds overly cutesy and made up to me. What about Brielle, Bryce or Britta?

alliander42

I like Renee. I had a Brinley in my class this year. She was the sweetest!

ANything with Lee or Ley at the end is at trendy as you can get.  You might think it's a unique name BUT it's going to get lost in the class of Kinley, Brinley, Kaylee, Charlee, Riley's.  

breezycat

There's no nice way to say this but nothing goes with Brynlee because it's a made up hot mess. I get that not everyone likes classic names like Elizabeth and Katherine but there are tons of names that are uncommon but still actual names.

I doubt anyone here can say anything to change your mind but you should really consider another name. Brynlee is seriously gag inducing.

leahadams8

I like Brynlee. If you love it, go for it! I had Annaleigh picked out if it was a girl

babybluu

I unfortunately can't stand the name brynlee. Way too trendy for my taste. I do love the name brynn though if that's an option

All I hear with this is Anal-lee.

Nichole for middle

CharmBombExplosion

Brynlee is seriously awful. Please don't name your child that, she's going to be an adult one day.

slradske0626

I've got to say, I also really dislike Brynlee. It sounds made up for sure. But, I also agree with previous posts suggesting Brynn. Brynn is pretty and unique, and definitely acceptable for an adult. Plus I feel like many middle names will work with Brynn.

groovylocks

^^ It's awful op I'm sorry. Just awful.

I have a thing that I like to say around here sometimes. Does the name sound like something you'd buy on sale at Walmart? If so, it's a bad name. Sorry but this falls straight into the lap of that category.

Wow! Brynn has definitely been an option. I picked out Brynlee when we were pregnant with our son (Wesley Luke ). My husband lost his best friend Bryan Lee and I thought it would be a good way to pay tribute. I guess in the last two years it has gained quite a negative vibe. I had never heard of it before. I've also liked Ava Brynn. We have a lot to think about. Since our son's name is pretty traditional, maybe we should rethink Brynlee. Thanks for the input!

fghmama6701

Ava Brynn is lovely! On a whole other level than Brynlee.

ksteeb611

Brynlee:/
Oy..
Katherine is a great name!

Glad to hear you were open minded about the feedback. We always advocate for legitimate names around here, and 'smoosh' names as we call them (when you smoosh two names together to make a new name) are generally advised against. I think it is very lovely to want to honor your friend, and I think using Brynn is a great way to do that. Ava Brynn sounds lovely.

Ava Brynn is lovely! I wouldn't normally reference celebrity baby names, but I know Bethenny Frankel named her daughter Bryn after hey husband's deceased brother Bryan. I think using Brynn in some way would be a great tribute.

breezycat

Your son has a great name and so should your daughter. Ava Brynn is a million times better than Brynlee. I thought for sure you would defend Brynlee and ignore our advice. Bravo for being mature and open-minded. Ava Brynn is lovely!

CharmBombExplosion

Another vote for Ava Brynn, I love the flow

DrillSergeantCat

Briana Lea?

Brynn is a great way to honor a Bryan. Beautiful name in either the first or middle name spot! Glad to see you're open to losing the awful Brynnlee

penelope4612

Also love Ava Brynn!

jeanbug12

Go with Brynn! Not a fan of Brynnlee, plus I think it is a bit too matchy with Wesley.

For everyone being rude, Brinley is NOT a made up name. It is a traditional Welsh/English name, most often used for boys though I think.
Living in England I've only known boys called Brinley, so I'd personally avoid it for a girl.

bbiutmcph

Just gonna leave this here

Also I NEVER get WK when the OP isn't even upset

secretbaba

I'm English born and bred and have never heard a male OR female Brinley. I've heard a fair few Brynns though, mainly male and Welsh.

The traditional name is Bryn, and yes it's masculine and Welsh. Brinley is a modern feminine variant.

No one was rude sweetie. The OP actually listened to us and is considering a variation. No need to swoop in and white knight for her when she isn't even upset.

I am also in the camp of being so sick of the names Kinley, Brinley, Henley, Tenley....blah, blah, blah. I tend to agree with the previous posters that mentioned maybe going with Brynn Lee/Leigh. I grew up and went to school with a Brad Lee, he went by both Brad and Brad Lee. In fact, I had no idea that Lee was actually his middle name (I never saw his whole name written down). I assumed it was Bradley, and when he always filled out paperwork, he just put "Brad"....so I didn't think anything of it. 

However, given that you want to honor your husbands friend, I think that Ava Brynn is an awesome name. Wesley has a great name, and if I saw Wesley and Brynlee together, I would feel bad for poor Brynlee who got stuck in trend-city. And even worse, match-matchy with the -lee sound on the end of both of their names. Or just use Brynn in there somewhere (first name or middle name). I wouldn't think anything of Wesley and Brynn together.

Lesson learned- don't post your baby name online personally, I like brynlee and usually I'm pretty picky. I don't see the difference in naming her brynlee with the nickname of bryn than just naming her bryn. Also... I don't know what you'd buy at Walmart that is called a brynlee? Wtaf kinda advice is that?

Op, you were very respectful to other's opinions even when they weren't very respectful of your opinion. Nicely done choose a name that you and your husband like and that has meaning to you! Also, sorry I didn't actually answer your question but now I don't remember the middle names you had... Brynlee Cheyenne is a lot, but I like it!

Eta- I also like ava brynn!
