Comments for the name Brielle

Comments for BRIELLE:

For years I have been the only bearer of this name because the name was of my Mum's creation. Brielle, originally intended for my middle name, is a mixture of my parents middle names: Brian and Ellen. Brielle as I am known, is not a short form of Gabrielle or otherwise, but on it's own, Brielle, just like that.

I think this is such a pretty name... I like it better than Brianne or Brianna.

I love my name ( Brielle ). I am so glad that my parents named me that. I feel unique! I love it. I have had this name for thirteen years and I do not regret a day of having it!

My 3 year old daughter's name is Brielle. I have no idea where I heard it from or where I got it but I knew since I was a little girl that my first daughter's name would be Brielle. I love it. I have not been able to find the actual meaning of it but if I had to make one up based on her personality it would have to be beautiful. I have never met another Brielle either -- so it's good to know there are a few out there!

I've choosen this as my daughter's middle name. Mia Brielle is due 12/1/2005.

Brielle is of French origin and means exalted goddess. I think it's a great name and not very common either!

Brielle is aan awesome name! I think it's better than Gabrielle! I like names that come from common names, so this is on my list!

Brielle is awful name for a human being! By the way, in German Brille means glasses.

In that case it'd be good for an opthamologist.

Brielle is pronounced like "bree-ELLE". Brille is pronounced "BRILL-uh." They're really not very similar except in appearance if you ask me.

Brielle is a very pretty name and a name you can easily grow up with.

I LOVE it! My second daughter's middle name is this. I don't remember where I see it, but I fell in love with it.

I love this name. It`s beautiful.

I love this name, it's so beautiful. The nickname could be Bri.

I'm not a fan of this name. It's a bit choppy & seems "unfinished."
-- Kitten  1/19/2007
I agree with person above. It doesn't seem to be a full name. It would be a good nickname, but not regular name.

I don't understand the appeal to this "name". It doesn't sound nice, sort of incomplete and it reminds me of the word Braille.

I like the name "Gabrielle," but I don't like just "Brielle." Probably because I know an absolutely DEMENTED girl named Brielle who sort of ruined the name for me. And it reminds me of cheese. Sorry but it does.

I like this name, but since my name is Brianna, naturally I like Brianna better. I still love this name, though!
-- Brianna Angela  6/20/2007
I love this name. It just seems so calm and easygoing somehow.
-- Taydbug112  8/1/2007
I hate it. It sounds like some stupid parents were trying to be "different" again. It sounds like a boy name. Or a ghetto name. Better yet; a male, ghetto name.

Too cutesy, girly, and nickname-y. Do your daughter a favor and name her Gabrielle instead, so that she's got a better name for the dog-eat-dog world of competition, sexism, classism, and prejudice out there.

Brielle is my middle name, and I think it's pretty and it goes well with my first name, Hannah. Brielle is a bit to girly for my tastes, but when it goes with a name that's not so girly, it's nice.
-- magicalhannah7  10/14/2008
I used to know a girl by this name, though I think she spelled it Briel. I think it's a beautiful name and not something I hear everywhere I go. I like the way this name's spelled, when she's just a young girl just call her 'Bree' for short.

Brielle is a terrible name. It shouldn't be one. I hate the name Brianna (look at the comments for Brianna, you'll see my comment) and I hate the name Gabrielle. Putting them together is terrible. And it kinda makes me think of a stuck-up, snobby, conceited, and judgmental person. But that my view and please don't get offended if your name is that, that doesn't mean that you any of those things, but that's what I see.

Makes a cute middle name.
-- nicole_10107  8/29/2009
Oh, and I also like this as a nickname for Gabriella/Gabriela! It's way better than the overused and slightly annoying Gabby.
-- nicole_10107  10/1/2009
Brielle sounds like a type of cheese, not a name. Imagine someone saying "I'd like to buy some Brielle cheese!"
-- bananarama  2/8/2010
I actually like Brielle a lot better than Gabrielle, mostly because Brielle avoids the awful nickname Gabby (which used to be an insult/epithet).
-- erb816  3/4/2010
I totally agree with bananarama, Brielle does sound like a type of cheese! That's the first thing I thought! But apart from that it's OK.

Brielle is the name of a song by Sky Sailing, one of Adam Young's projects (he is better known as Owl City, which is another one of his projects). I think Brielle is a lovely name, especially since the song is so nice.
-- alma_aindop  8/7/2010
Sounds made up and tacky. Meh, not sure about it.
-- Chrila96  8/21/2010
Brielle in the Netherlands is from the Celtic meaning "closed area" or "hunting ground".
-- keepitreal  1/27/2011
It's admittedly a cute name. Very cute. But the problem is, when you're naming a child, "cute" names tend to be childish and overly-modern-sounding, Brielle included. Honestly, can you imagine Dr. Brielle Smith? Or Brielle Covington, lawyer? I can't. It's better to give your child a name that sounds mature and could work well throughout life, and give them a cuter nickname. In this case, name her Gabrielle and call her Brielle.

Brielle is actually a traditional Cajun name. It was very popular among the Acadians to abbreviate common names. This was is a contraction of Gabrielle.
-- Shaymin  12/28/2011
This name sounds trashy, like something an uneducated ignorant person would define as classy or French of which it is neither.
