Kinda different... What do you think?

We're playing with B names and we really like Bailey, Brielle, Becca...

But what do you think of Braelyn? Brelyn, Braylin... I don't really know how to spell it... haha! 

What do you think? What spelling would you use? 

Re: Kinda different... What do you think?

    Bailey- If it's for a girl, NO. If it's for a boy, no.

    Brielle- NMS but I wouldn't totally side eye it. It just seems like it wouldn't age well. Too cutesy.

    Becca- How about Rebecca and you could call her Becca? It just seems like a nn.

    Braylin in any spelling is just not good. I strongly dislike all spellings of that name.

    I love Bailey for a girl!! It's on my name list... as a MN.

    I don't care for the others though.

    The only name from your list I like is Becca - but more as a nickname than a full given name.

     

    There aren't many B names I like, but have you thought about Betty, Bridget, Beatrice, Blanche,  Bianca, Babette, Brenna, Bryn, Brooke?

    I think Gabrielle is better with the NN Brielle, but I still like it.

    It reminds me of Braille. Bethany, Beatrix, Bianca, Blair, Blanche, Bridget?

    My favorite of your choices is Brielle.

    Braelyn is one of my all-time most hated names. It sounds like the trendy name a donkey would give its offspring.

    I love the previous posters' recommendation of Bianca--pretty, feminine, and works for both a little girl and an adult. Is there a particular reason you're set on using the initial B?

    Braylin (of any spelling) makes me think of the noise a donkey makes (they bray).  Not a good association.  Bailey is cute though.

    Bailey is a dogs name or an alcoholic berverage not something i'd want my child named after.

    Brielle is eh Gabrielle is beautiful and a full name

    Rebecca would be great becca is a nn

    You do not know how to spell Brayln because it is a made up name...teen mom style.

  • Options

    I hate Braelyn and all of it's spellings.  It is a made up name.  I know 2 dogs named Bailey.  Becca is a nn for Rebecca- I like that best!

  • Options

    Truthfully, I strongly dislike all the B names you have come up with.  Especially Brielle and Braelyn.  Bailey is a dog name to me and Becca just doesn't sound pretty.

    No, just NO.  Braylin in any form is just wrong.

    Becca is fine as a NN for Rebecca.  Brielle and Bailey are not good either.

    This.

    Bailey is my dog's name (and several others that I know of)

    Braylin is the sound a donkey makes.

    Rebecca is pretty.

    My sister got a pet and wanted to name it Braelyn but it ended up being a boy so she named him Braeland.  I liked that name.  But she definitely made it up, haha.

    I think Brielle is pretty.  What about Brianna?  I love Bernadette too.

    Becca as a NN for Rebecca is the only one I like off your list. Brielle is ok. Bailey is more of a dog's name IMO. The reason you you don't know how to spell Braelyn is because it's not a real name, it's made up.

     

    This.  I suppose I could see Brielle as a nickname for Gabrielle.

    I'm not a big fan of any of the names that you listed, but especially Braelyn. It's actually not very different--adding "lyn" to the end of sequences of letters is quite trendy and I've seen Braelyn on this board more times than I can count on one hand.

    How about Bree or Brynn? I like them a lot more --I think they'll age better. Briana is another option that's NMS, but maybe it's yours?

    I say a definite NO to all of these except maybe Becca, but even then only as a nickname for Rebecca.

    I agree.  Gabrielle/Gabriella and Rebecca are great, classic names.

    Bailey only for a boy (it's a boy's name, not a girl's name).

    Brielle is a little too trendy for me.

    I like Becca, short for Rebecca.

    Not a fan of the Braylin name, but I'd spell it this way (although, in my younger days, I totally would have gone the Braelyn route).

    I like Brielle or Becca. As for Bailey, it seems like there are a lot of dogs named Bailey.

    I will agree with the others who said Bianca, LOVE that name!

    I love the suggestion of Rebecca or Gabrielle and then using NNs you said above. I also love Bianca as my guilty pleasure name.

    If you want to be a bit different and you don't mind using a more religious name, what about Baila/Beyla? DH and I love this name and it is at the top of our girl list. It is a Yiddish name mening "Pure or White" and is not a made up name despite what people may say.

    The only Braylin I've heard was a boy, so I see it as more of a boys name. I have a nephew Braedon, so I like the ae spelling best. If you love it, use it! I don't think it's a horrible name.

    I like Becca, but really only as nickname for Rebecca. 

    Some other B names to consider:

    Bree, Betsy (as a nn for Elizabeth), Brynn

  • Options

    Braelyn (and I would spell it this way) - I dont absolutely hate it, one of the names I've been considering is

    Breelyn, just a little different but I think it sounds better.

    I like Brielle, its pretty.

    I don't like Braelyn spelled any way. I'm not a big fan of Bailey either.

    I actually like Becca as a nn for Rebecca and Brielle on its own. I know many here aren't a fan, but Brielle is a nice name in my opinion. 

    Other B names to consider:

    • Bethany
    • Bronwyn
    • Belle 
    • Brooke
    • Bridgette 
    • Briony
    • Beatrice or Beatrix
    • Bevin

    My friend's daughter's name is Braely... I think it's a gorgeous name, haha and I may be a little bias because she is the cutest 8month old ever! I know they got it by combining mom and dad's names, Brandon and Ashley, which I personally thought was tasteless when she told me they were trying to do that, but it came out good! I don't like Braelyn though... and yes that is how I woul dspell it too,it looks stupid the other ways IMO... Bailey is cute, it was on our list but FI thought it was too dull so nixed it, Brielle is pretty and is also on our list, just don'tgo with Briella... it sounds like you forgot the Ga... but I like Brielle, I think it stands on it's own better and I hate Becca, but that's personal name association.

    I just don't really care for it at all :/ sorry doll. It reminds me of the whole Aidan/Brayden/Hayden/etc. craze for some reason and I can't stand those names. Brielle is my favorite of those you listed; I know you're staying with the B, but I like Rielle better.
