Brynn Erica after DH Brian Eric

Chrissy3501 · October 2012

I LOVE the name Brynn.... and the fact that DH first name is Brian, it works. Except he wants to go completely paternal and have her middle name be Erica.... after his, Eric. I like the concept, but don't really care for Erica.

Can you think of any variations of Eric that would make a good middle name for Brynn?

sarahbeth27 · October 2012

The only other thing I can think of is Erin, but I don't love the flow of Brynn Erin. What is your FN or MN? Could you do a combo, so FN after him and MN after you?

strawberrytree · October 2012

The female variation of Eric is Erica, so unless you want to do something like just another E name, Erica's your option I think.

That said I think it's kind of self-centred for your DH to want the first, middle, and last name of your daughter after himself. You already see that on boys with Jrs...but this is the first girl I've seen whose father wants all of her names after him. What about Brynn for him, a middle name for you (it doesn't have to be a family name, even just a name you like), and then your DH's last name?

I'm not a fan of naming a child after yourself, but why can't she just have the same initials as your DH ? Or her MN start with the letter E.

I agree.

Yup. All the bolded.

Save some of that adoration for your other children.

My DHs name is Bryan and we gave out middle DD the mn Bryar, spelled like that.

I dislike Brynn.

Another agreed. I would think he DH would think pretty highly of himself. Apparently he forgot this baby is yours too.

All of this!

Same here. Where do you fit in with her name? No where. If you love Brynn, that's one thing and you should use it. I would do a totally different mn though. Either something from your name or your side of the family, or something completely different that you love.

bearfootz · October 2012

Honestly, I don't mind how Brynn Erica sounds. I think Brynn is a cute name. However, if you want something different I would suggest using a different middle name. Do you plan on having another child in the future? If so, maybe save Eric for a middle name to use in the future.

I don't have any other suggestions besides Erica. I'd pick one or the other though, female versions of the same FN and MN is a tad overkill IMO.

Me as well.

Brianna is a pretty name.

I also think your DH is being selfish to want to give your daughter all his names.

dandlelyon · October 2012

If you were to have another LO and it was a boy, would DH want to name him Brian Eric? If so, it woudl be very George Foreman-ish to have a Brynn Erica and a Brian Eric Jr.

FWIW, I do like Brynn, but think it needs a longer, feminine middle name. I agree with other Posters that you should get to pick a name as well. It's your baby too.

CeCe8579 · October 2012

I agree with PPs. I love Brynn and I say go with that for a FN but you should have a say in the name. Letting you choose a MN would be a good compromise. Plus, you may want to use Eric in the future.

IrishEyes0530 · October 2012

I like Brianna better if you're looking for something similar to your H's name. I also think the middle name BRU.g Erica would be too much and you should choose something you like or something like your name.

All of this! Why does he want all three names after him? Didn't you play a role in her creation? I'd either choose another middle name completely or create a middle name from either your fn or mn.

I love that you want to use a variation of your husbands name for your daughter. I'm all about it. Cute. And we love Brinley/Bryn
