Feminine! Have you ever tried to prune briars? I'd rather name a child Barbed-Wire.

I like Briar. I prefer it for a girl. It sounds suitable for a male, but the Briar Rose association makes it seem better suited for a girl in my mind.

I prefer Briar for a girl. I love it! It's the name of a former history teacher of mine, whom I really admire. I'm still in contact with her, and she is a truly inspirational person.

I always thought that Briar Ophelia or Ophelia Briar was a pretty combo. My teacher's name is Briar Dawn.

I think it's cute. Definitely for a girl. It reminds me of Sleeping Beauty, Briar Rose.

Briar seems to me to be a metaphysically very feminine concept, so I think it is more suitable on a feminine person. Briar on a man seems droll and vaguely nauseating to me - sort of like Blade or Rock on a woman. I don't like the name enough to make a lot of combos - it sounds growly in my accent. I guess it is kind of pretty in an English accent. With an English accent, maybe Briar Charlotte.
