Need help with girls name

RedCherry1109 · July 2012

If its a boy the name will be:

Braden Randal

If its a girl the name will be:

Bryleigh/Briley/Brilye Mae

My favorite is Brilye Mae.....DH favorite is Bryleigh Mae

The only reason I don't care for Bryleigh, is because my best friends Lo is Kyleigh.

What is your favorite for a girls name??

I am not liking any of the variations. At all.

Good luck finding another Briley fan on this board, regardless of how you spell it.

Why does everyone hate Briley?

That.Just.Happened · July 2012

I like Briley best.

bearfootz · July 2012

I would go with Briley (or Brylee)

Brilye looks like it would be pronounced differently.

Why does everyone hate Briley?

Because it's a gun manufacturer. Unless your other kids are Colt, Smith, and Wesson, it's a bad choice.
Did not know that!

The middle names are family names, that's why they are spelled like that.

OutLawless · July 2012

I like Bryleigh the best. Eveyrhitng else seems contrived or masculine.

I think it sounds juvenile. Also, the -lee ending and the creative spellings are elements that mark it as modern, rural, and low-SES. This board tends to favor the antique and neo-traditional names that are popular among urban, coastal, college-educated white people, so Briley doesn't fit the style that gets love here.

In any event, if you choose this name, I'd go with Briley because it is simple. Bryleigh is more complicated ? you have to explain both the strange y and the alternative ending. But both Briley and Bryleigh are better than Brilye. I wouldn't even guess that Brilye was supposed to be pronounced like Briley ? I'd guess BRILL-yuh, as if it were some obscure Scandinavian name.

Oh my goodness.. Just no.

If you MUST go with that girls name, please use Briley as it seems to be how people would spell it if they had to write it without being told how to spell it. However, looking at your sig at your other LOs names, I think Briley is too similar to Bryce. Do you require a Br- name or is that just coincidence? What about something like Brynn or Brianna?

I like Brynn but not with Mae as the MN,. It doesn't have to be Br-name. DH is very picky about the girls name.

bar italia · July 2012

yuck. those names are not cute or unique, which i'm sure you think they are.

avoid unless your goal is for your kid to be on 'toddlers and tiaras' one day.

You are right, Mae as a mn needs more than one syllable as a fn. What about

Bethany

Brigette

Bailey

Brittany

Brenna

AOBtahoe · July 2012

Mae is the best by far for a girl name!

queenbone · July 2012

I would suggest something more legitimate than Bryliegh, et al.

Briana Mae

Brandy Mae

Bridget/Brigitte Mae

Brittany Mae

Although, frankly, I would be constantly tripping over myself trying to keep my 3 Br- children straight.

Sorry but I can't even figure out how you're pronouncing it. It's really looks like a misspelled word, no matter which variation you choose. I would go back to the drawing board.

magpie1127 · August 2012

Also consider Britta! I think Britta Mae would be really pretty

That.Just.Happened · August 2012

What about Brinley? That's a legit name and I think it is super-cute.

LilyBlue62 · August 2012

What about...

Brielle

Bridget

Brooke

Blythe

Bianca

Briana

apc1929 · August 2012

Sorry I don't like any of them.. but I dislike most "Lee " sounding names I would say stick with the spelling Briley though..

alohamora · August 2012

Oh dear. I hate this name with a fire of 1000 suns, but I haven't seen Brilye before. That's new.

You seem to like trendy names. What about:

Aria Mae
Aubrey Mae (still has the -br in it)
Brielle Mae
Caitlin Mae
Chloe Mae
Hadley Mae
Hailey Mae
Harper Mae
Lorelei Mae
Piper Mae
Riley Mae
Tatum Mae
Teagan Mae
