The combo is kind of corny, but I've seen much worse. At least it's better than naming a girl Wyatt.

Honestly? It's not that bad. I don't really like Briar Rose (predictable and too fairytale for me), but the two are actually kinda sweet together. As long as you never call the girl just plain Briar (which I think sounds horrible), then I think Briar Rose is workable.And for a celebrity name, I'd call Briar Rose a small miracle.

I can't help liking it...(m)When I was a child I loved Disney's "Sleeping Beauty." I still do, actually. Briar Rose is appealing to the little-girl-with-romantic-ideas that I used to be. I can just about see myself naming a daughter Briar Rose, and calling her by her middle name.

I feel like it's missing something. I guess because it's a name we've all heard before, it seems kind of anti-climactic. Like... Briar Rose Anastasia, that would be pretty. Yeah, slap another princess name on there, that'll round it out real nice.

Commitment.I mean, no need to explain where the name came from. If you are gonna use a Disney Princess, be ready to commit. They went for it. I always liked her name, so I guess I like little Miss Briar Rose Christiansen's name as well. Briar is a top notch name for me (though I only know two guys with the name).

that's because it is dumb ...And it's a cliche as wel. Very Disney, very fairy-tale. Very lame.

It's a bit R-heavy. Other than that, I think it's fine. I like Briar.

AgreedWhile I like Briar to a degree, the combo is a bit cliché. Still, when I compare it to current name trends (kr8if, surnames with no familial connection, word names gone wrong, etc.), Briar really isn't that bad. Who knows? The parents may end up calling her Rose.

First thing that comes to mind is Sleeping Beauty. Second is lifeless looking mounds of brambles. It's not at all attractive to me.
