Does Brielle sound made up?

camrude · January 2009

Before we knew we were having a boy, we kicked around Brielle. I had heard it before but pretty much everyone I mentioned it to asked if we made it up.

WDYT? Does it sound made up??

ibis · January 2009

It does to me.

EmuJane · January 2009

No, I've heard it before. It's pretty.

thatgirlang · January 2009

I've heard it before so no. And I've always liked it.

whitneyandbrook · January 2009

Not to me.

KateAggie · January 2009

Yes. It sounds like old lady hair cream.

Alibean · January 2009

Nope... there was a girl in my DS's sign language class named Brielle.

smismar · January 2009

Yes it does. It also reminds me of Brillo pads.... I would hope my daughter didn't have curly hair.

talltalltrees · January 2009

Yes.

"Get your kitchen sparkling clean with Brielle!"

It sounds like the end of the name Gabrielle to me.

It kind of reminds me of the recently popular name Adelyn, which is just the end of Madeline, or the name Adelie, which is just the end of Natalie.

Oh lord.

I can't wait for "Deline" and "Talie."

bunnybean · January 2009

Hmm, kinda mullet and trailer sounding.

JulieF · January 2009

Yes, I honestly do think that it sounds madeup. If you chose a name like Brianna Elizabeth, you could have "Brielle" as a nickname.

(I am not pregnant and have no idea why my avatar shows a pregnant woman.)

mma1029 · January 2009

it sounds made up to me. Not a fan, sorry.

adam+katie · January 2009

I know three girls in their 20's named Brielle, it is not a made up name.

How does this make it not a made-up name?

Smudges*Mom · January 2009

Kim from Real Housewives of Atlanta has a daughter named Brielle. Kim is such a train wreck. . . she kind of ruined the name for me. Sorryl

adam+katie · January 2009

How do you define what is made up? When I think of made up names, I think of things like Nevaeh and such. I know a few people named Brielle, so I don't see how it could be cosidered made up.

If you look Brielle up, it is a Hebrew name meaning 'God is my might'

I guess all names were made up at one point or another!

Bwaaaahaahaaaaa Thats exactly the first thing that popped into my head!

MaudGonne · January 2009

Yes. It sounds like the a brand name for a cleaning product or a kitchen appliance.

LoriFalce · January 2009

I love it as a nickname, which is what it is. A less common form of Gabrielle than the more traditional Gabby.

NikiT · January 2009

No it is not sound made up. I've heard of a couple of Brielle's.

Where did you find this?? I am pretty sure Brielle is not Hebrew.

Pathrell · January 2009

Brielle is a shortening of the name Gabrielle. If you're worried about it sounding made-up, you can always name the baby Gabrielle, and just call her Brielle. Less worry about other people snubbing it

It's only Hebrew in the sense that Gabrielle is from the Hebrew Gavriela, and Brielle is merely a nickname for Gabrielle.

iluvtom · January 2009

Yes, and very girly

Wan-naBe · January 2009

i've heard of it as well, and i don't think it's as bad as other names that have been posted here.

Ahhh I see thanks.

By that logic, "Ry" is a Hebrew name meaning "bitter" because it's part of "Mary." ?

userdeleted · January 2009

I don't think it sounds made up, I think it's pretty

pottorfs · January 2009

I work in the nursery at church and have had two Brielle's!

ilovemygirls · January 2009

Yes, totally made up.

MarriedBestFriends · January 2009

No, because one of my midwives is named Brielle.

jeannarheinberger · January 2009

not made up DD has a friend named that, but it is a girl. I also went to school with a girl named that.

DH and I know a couple who named their daughter Abrielle (like Gabrielle without the "G"). I thought it sounded kind of made up, but later found it in a baby book. I like Brielle, though!
