Asher ______ Bryn

[ashthedreamer]

I've recently embraced my inner Welsh. Bryn is a Welsh name I have always loved, but its growing popularity for girls in the past few years has put me off. I don't think it's terrible in the MN spot, though, and Bryn has a lot of cultural and religious ("You are the light of the world... a city on a hill cannot be hidden..." mostly paraphrasing, but I'm guessing most Christians will pick up on it. ) significance to me. I've only ever met one Bryn, and he was a boy, so it just seems to fit for me. I've been looking for a short-and-sweet MN to finish off my Asher combo, so I thought Bryn work there.

Asher Patrick is the combo I've been playing with, but I'm not sure about Asher Patrick Bryn. I'm kind of picky about what I like after Patrick (and Asher, for that matter, lol), so I'm not sure I am in love with the combo as a whole. WDYT of it, and any other ideas to put between Asher and Bryn? My other two top candidates for Asher had been Asher Leopold and Asher Thomas--would those work with Bryn, do you think?

I especially like the idea of Asher Leopold Bryn, in theory, because then his middle initials would also honor my grandfather (who was only just L. B.--not short for anything).

Thanks, Berries!

I think Asher Leopold Bryn could work. Bryn seems a little feminine to me but I know 3 Brynnas so I think that is just my associations. I think it totally works for you though! What about Asher Linus Bryn. I remember Linus used to be an MN for you and I think it would work perfect for you here if you are not sold on Leopold. I think Asher Thomas Bryn could be nice as well though.

I absolutely adore the name Asher (well, I named my son Asher, so I'm just a wee bit biased!)... I think both Asher Leopold Bryn and Asher Thomas Bryn sound wonderful. I'm less enthusiastic about Asher Patrick Bryn, but I have very bad personal associations with a Patrick, so again, might be biased.

I love Asher Leopold Bryn! It's a great mix of contemporary sounds and ye olde names.

Asher Leopold Bryn is perfect! Asher and Bryn are very modern, but Leopold balances them out. Nice!

Might you like Asher Lawrence Bryn? I think I'd rather see a strong classic in that spot, and Leopold just isn't doing it for me. Even though I really like Leopold, it just seems lightweight and Bryn seems VERY lightweight.

Instead of Patrick, maybe Pascal? Asher Pascal Bryn -- very cool in the springtime.

Thanks, ladies! Any other ideas? None of these are really striking me. I probably like Asher Leopold Bryn the best, but it does feel quite thrown together and a bit mismatched.

@saracita00 - I don't mind Pascal, but I'm not a Lawrence fan, sorry. I do like the similar Laurent, but I'm not crazy about Asher Laurent Bryn.

I really like Asher Leopold Bryn and Asher Thomas Bryn. If it's between the two I would go with Leopold to honor your grandpa.

What about Asher Lincoln Bryn? I think it would be perfect for you
