B Names, part 2
Thanks for all the name ideas in the last post. What are your opinions on these? Do you see any of these as unisex/neutral?Middle name would probably be Emmaus for a boy or Ever for a girl I also like Elysium and Elysian, though. Bennett
Boaz
Boyd
Brady
Brenna
Briar
Bridger
Brigh
Bronwen

Love my little sparrow, Caemlyn Sparrow Gail, and my Hucklebaby, David Royce Huckleberry "Huck"

My favourites:
Bennett
Briar
BrennaI like all of them except Brady.I think Bridger could be unisex.
Brigh and Briar and Brady too.
I always think Bronwen sounds really unisex, but I know it is technically feminine.Emmaus is an awesome choice for a middle name. Elysian is pretty, but Elysium feels more masculine to me. I like Ever best for a girl.Bennett Emmaus is very handsome.

I would use Elysium for a boy if I used it (but Emmaus is definitely ahead of it.)
Thanks!

I love Bridger. Bridger and Marshall are my little GP surname brother-set.I don't see any of these as unisex; Brenna, Briar and Bronwen are girls, and the others are all boys.Bridger is my favourite for the boys, Boyd my least.
Brenna is my favourite from the girls, and Briar my least.

Bennett - all boy, it would be atrocious on a girl.
Boaz - all boy, but not a nice name.
Boyd - all boy, it would be atrocious on a girl, but it's very surnamey.
Brady - all boy, it would be atrocious on a girl.
Brenna - all girl, it would be atrocious on a boy.
Briar - it would be atrocious on a boy or a girl.
Bridger - all boy, it would be atrocious on a girl.
Brigh - all girl, it would be atrocious on a boy.

Any opinions on the names themselves?

Bennett - I like Bennett for a boy, I think I will age well, and I like the nn Ben.
Boaz - is not a very nice name, but I could see it used as a middle name or second middle name.
Boyd - it's too surnamey, and not very attractive.
Brady - this is a good name for a boy, I think I will age well enough.
Brenna - I love this name for a girl, it's very pretty and sweet.
Briar- ugly non-name makes me think of ugly painful thorns.
Bridger - this is a gp for me, I like this name for a boy, but I don't think it ages well, as a middle name it would work though..
Brigh - this is a lovey Irish girls name, but people will propably mispronounce it. (its pronounced bree).
Bronwen - a beautiful name for a girl, though I prefer the spelling Bronwyn.

I think the only one I see as neutral is Briar. Bridger is a "possibly maybe I'm not quite certain" unisex because it looks so similar to Bridget. But for me, Bennett, Boaz, Boyd, and Brady are definitely male. Brenna and Bronwen are definitely neutral. I have no idea how to pronounce Brigh so I'm not going to assign it a gender. I adore Bennett and Bronwen for their respective genders, and Briar would make a lovely unisex addition to either a boy or girl combo. I could definitely see a little Briar Emmaus or Briar Elysium. Have you thought about Elsinore? It seemed to fit with Ever/Elysium/Elysian. What about Braith for a boy?

I have thought of Elsinore! It is on the list. I could see Braith as a mn potentially, but not as f fn.
Thanks!

I like Elysium :) Ever as a middle name is a lovely idea too.Bennett - boy. I don't like it much cos it sounds too surname-ishBoaz - sounds kind of ugly to me :|Boyd - not this one >_< Way too much of a last nameBrady - sounds like a nickname.Brenna - it's okay but kind of rough and thickBriar - unisex. I like this one :)Bridger - like someone who's bridging things? It's kinda weirdBrigh - I really like this! People will maybe probably say it "breye" though. To rhyme with high.Bronwen - Love the sound of the name but can't get over the fact it means something like "white breast" xD

I don't think any of them are unisex. I like Bennett and Boaz.

ThanksWhat would you think of brothers Huck and Bo? Cute or too much?
vote up1
Is that a reference to something? If not I think it's cute, I wouldn't use Bo as a full name, but it's sweet as a nickname.
vote up1
No, but I wonder if Huck and Bo would come across as hillbilly or hick.

I happen to really like Briar and consider it unisex. I happen to work with a guy named Briar, even though I have always thought I would use it for a girl (if ever). Bennett is unisex to me, but not my fave name.
Boaz is male, and all I can picture is biblical references.
Boyd would be hip on a girl, but a bit hillbilly on a boy. I do like it though.
Brady is all boy to me, mostly because my nephew has this name and it brings to mind football and southern boys.
Brenna is a nice name and I am surprised it isnt used more often. I think it leans towards girl. Though Bren or Bree could work for both.
Briar - love it for either.
Bridger - again, works for both. Slightly more masculine but I could totally see it on a girl.
Brigh - girly. to me at least.
Bronwen, so pretty, but girly to me. I would so use it anyway since Bronwen Emmaus and Bronwen Ever are great combos.

I could see Brady on a girl. I wouldn't like it, but I could see it. Bridger too. Briar is pretty unisex to me, and Brigh. But all these points are moot because Bronwen Ever is FAIRYTALE BEAUTIFUL and you HAVE to use that over the others.And Bennett Emmaus would be adorable. Emmaus is interesting - what's the background on that?

In the Bible, Jesus appeared to two of his disciples after rising from the dead on the road to Emmaus. For me, it's a wonderful Biblical connection, but A handsome word in its own right. I can definitely picture sisters Caemlyn Sparrow and Bronwen Ever.

Caemlyn & Bronwen are delightful as sisters!
