Brierley

I came across this name in a magazine yesterday. What does TB think about it? I couldn't decide if it was cute or not.

I do not like it.  At all.  Looks like a hot mess of letters.

reminds me of a briar patch. I hate it.

Doesn't sound like a name to me.  It seems like people can make anything into a girl's name just by adding "ley" or "leigh" or "lee" onto a random noun (and in this case a misspelled noun).  I expect my daughters to go to school with kids named Forkley and Carpetlee.

I actually like Briar, but not Briarley and the way that name is spelled makes it looked like it's pronounced breer-lee. Ick.

It looks like someone threw some letters together and called it a name.  Too many vowels.  NO NO NO

I like Briar....for a dog. The -ley sucks.

I like Briar too, which is why I felt like I should like this name. Not that it matters, since we don't plan on having more kids!

Haha, don't give them any ideas! Next thing you know, someone's going to think one of those sounds pretty, and then all that's left is to change the spelling so it's a little more youneek.

Sounds made up to me.

Nope, not good!

I think Brier alone is OKAY, but Brierly? Not a fan

jobiann

That's terrible.

Not cute. I don't mind the name Briar, but Brierley sounds like a cheesy subdivision name.

Todd&Laura

Hate it. Sorry.

I think it is cute, but I wouldn't use it for myself.
