Usual Nickname, Unexpected Name--Bree
Bree-names are big right now. From the fairly-established Aubrey, Brianna, & Gabriella, to the modern Cambria, Brielle, & Bria, and even new inventions, like Aubrianna, Abriella, & Mabree, Bree is a nickname we're likely to keep seeing more and more of. But if you're not willing to use a top 100 name, or a recent innovation, what's left?
Briseida is a gorgeous name!
