Romantic feminine middle name for Brett.

LoveMoose85 · July 2017

So I'm crushing on Brett for my baby girl coming in November. I know Brett is a big time boys name but I like the boy names on girls trend. I grew up as Alex.

Anyway I would definitely pair Brett with a much more feminine middle name. I'm thinking longer like three syllables. Any suggestions? I appreciate your help and opinions! Sister's middle name is Juliet.

I'll be honest, feminine and romantic are not words I associate with Brett. Brett's are like Chad's, they are born as fully grown douchey fratboys, able to shotgun cheap, shitty beer and a fully unwarranted sense of entitlement.

It's also a very harsh name, being a single syllable and ending in t, so it's flow is almost always going to be choppy and abrupt.

Brett Florence
Brett Micheala
Brett Ophelia
Brett Gabrielle
Brett Penelope
Brett Vanessa
Brett Nadia

I agree Brett is really hard to push on a girl even with a middle name since that's not a daily usage.

I would suggest Britta as a similar name to use

If you're looking for feminine alternatives to Brett, I'd suggest Britt or Brynn. If you just want middle name suggestions, I like

Brett Amelia
Brett Samantha
Brett Jacqueline
Brett Elizabeth
Brett Genevieve
Brett Isadora
Brett Francesca
Brett Gwendolyn
Brett Victoria
Brett Olivia
Brett Natalia

Perhaps rhyming softens the name?

Brett Suzette
Brett Antoinette

Sorry, But no matter how feminin you make the middle name, your daughter will be mistaken for a boy. The only way you would possibly get away without the confusion is if you call her by Brett -female middle name as the whole 1st name.

Very sad that you give your first daughter a beautiful name and now you want to give your second daughter a manly name. It almost seems as if you wanted a boy but didn't.

Brett Josephine
Brett lillian
Brett Christina
Brett Allyson

Her first daughter has Juliet as a middle but she didn't tell us the first name. OP would you share that? I agree if the first daughter has a very feminine name, it is odd to go with Brett for the next girl, but if both have boy names and you are set on Brett for #2, I think it is good that you are realizing she needs a feminine middle name. If she grows up to hate Brett she can always go by the middle.

I'm not a fan of boy names on girls but I don't like to bash people's choices once they have already been decided either.

I know a female named Brett. She does get mistaken for a boy but she seems fine with it and people figure it out.

Brett Elizabeth

Brett Katherine

my coworker named her baby girl Bryce. I like it on a girl but personally not a fan of Brett for a girl.

First DD is Nova Juliet

I'm just going to suggest Bettina in lieu of Brett in the FN spot.

With Nova I'd definitely assume that Brett is a boy. If you are dead set on Brett, I like pps suggestions of Brett Ophelia best.

Are you open to other first name suggestions? I think your second DD would draw the short end of the stick, especially with big sis Nova Juliet.

How about:
Wren
Adair
Arden
Sloane
Lou
Frances
Olive

please dont

JuliaDeeS · July 2017

Elizabeth!

With a sibling named Nova Juliet I think you DD2 deserves a cool name too not a boy name that isn't remotely unisex. Do you have others on your list or open to suggestions similar to Nova?

Bringmemylongswordho · July 2017

Nova is just so much cooler than Brett!

Maybe something from here?

As pp's have said, I think Brett is an odd choice after Nova. But if you are stuck on Brett, I think a middle name that starts with O or A work best to soften the sound a bit.

Other FN suggestioms, if you're open to them:
Bette
Bree
Brynn
Belle
Portia
Callista
Pandora
Halley (like the comet)
Astrid
Aurora
Cressida
Nysa
Rey
Bernette
Beda
Belka
Blix
Briony

ETA I think that a Blix and Nova sound like an awesome sibset. Blix is Swedish and means joy.

DH and I both love Brett for a girl, inspired by Brett Ashley of The Sun Also Rises. We would have used it, but unfortunately I have an awful relative by marriage named Brett, and I couldn't get past that association.

I like a lot of the middle name suggestions you've gotten. Especially Brett Elizabeth. And names ending in -a. Brett Andrea, Brett Alexandra, Brett Victoria, etc.

I went to school with a female Brett and she was never mistaken for a boy. I don't know what her middle name is - but don't let the negativity on this post deter you! I think it's beautiful. I love it and hope you find a good middle name pairing.

auntieraindrop · July 2017

I liked the suggestions Brett Genevieve and Brett Victoria.

Sophia1913 · July 2017

Brett Olivia.

MrsN092714 · July 2017

I know a Brettlyn that you could nn to Brett...

MamaWren919 · July 2017

I know a female Brett. It's not a name I'd pick, but I like it and she pulls it off. Plus, Brett isn't a common name for boys anymore, so I think that makes it more acceptable. Olivia, Lorelei, Rosalie?
