So we have to use an M name for religious reasons/naming after a family member and i am choosing to make that the middle. We are very torn between these 2 names and very much in need of some help! What should we give our baby girl??Thank you in advance for your votes/opinions!!!

    I have to be honest I don’t fine Brielle or Brittany at all as classy as Bradley. Are you wanting a B name?

    Well yes, we were hoping to keep the "B" going as we think it's better, preferably a Br-That would be even more ideal. I love the sound of the names together i think they are both equally cute with bradley

    I don’t love either Brittany or Brielle; voted for Brielle because to me Brittany has bad connotations (super trendy in the 80s/90s and every one I know was snobby). I think Maxine is great though! 

    More B name ideas:
    Brianna/Brianne
    Bridget
    Brooke
    Bethany
    Becca
    Bianca
    Beatrice
    Blair

    I prefer Brittany, but I think that Bradley and Brittany sound silly as a sibset.  The matching Br start and the -y ending are too much.  Bradley and Brielle work much better together.

    Neither is particularly appealing to my tastes, here is another Br name though, Briar.

    Thanks so much for all the input so far, it is truly helping. How does everyone feel about Gabriella instead of just Brielle ?

    Gabriella Maxine would be lovely. 

    Added bonus of less chance of mixing up their names when you are mad at one.

    Also love Gabriella Maxine! Plus you can call her Bri for a nickname and still get the Br- name you’re looking for without being matchy.

    Briar or Bronwyn would be much better fits to pair with Bradley.

    I do like Gabriella!

    This has been really helpful, i've been leaning toward Gabriella i just wasnt completely sure. We may call her Brielle anyway since we love it so much! Another name we're considering that doesn't follow the B pattern  is Jamie, but need to know....What is the popular opinion of this one ?

    I think Gabrielle is much better than Jamie. I know it's a legit name, but it just seems so nicknamey to me. Also, it doesn't age well, IMO.

    Gabriella over Jamie. No contest. I agree that Jamie seems nick namey. Maybe because I know a James that goes by Jamie.

    I prefer gabriella to jamie too-And we definitely want Gabriella, not gabrielle. I was a little bit concerned about the popularity of it though.....Thoughts on that???

    Jamie is all nickname to me, and kinda plain.

    Although it’s not an uncommon name, I wouldn’t consider it very popular, and it seems to be trending down. I actually don’t know any Gabriellas

       Much better.....then you can use Briella as a nn if you wish. Matchy names are cute on toddlers, but that's about it

    @sassygirl51486 not on subject but does your Bradley go by that or do people try to cut it to Brad?  Bradley is on our list but I hate when names get chopped up.

    As a 30 year old Jamie I can give you some perspective about how I feel about my name. I’ve always thought it was a good solid name, not too popular, not to out there. It didn’t feel overly feminine or masculine. I never had a lot of (If any) other Jamies in my classes which was nice. There aren’t really any good nicknames for it, which as a kid kind of annoyed me. I would say I give my name a “meh”. My naming style as an adult is waaaay different from my parents.

    I don't care for either. Both lack the old fashioned sweetness of Bradley. I like the suggestions of:

    Bridget
    Brooke (my personal fav with brother Bradley)
    Bronwyn
    Bryn

    Honestly, Gabriella is a mouthful and so similar to Isabella which is over the top popular now, I'd keep looking.
