Suggestions for a middle name

Good Morning ladies.....I am getting close to the big day and am having trouble deciding on a middle name for DD.  This is our first girl and we have named all of our boys with names that start with BR.  Brennon, Bradley, Bryon and Braydon.  We have agreed on Bryleigh for the first name.  Our boys are not really exceited about this name......they think it is too "boyish".  What do you ladies think about the name.....I know it is not common..Which I like....but do you think it is too masculine?  I could really use some suggestions for the middle name.  My husband and I both have some native american heritage and I thought it would be meaningful to try a name that is Indian.  Something pretty though.  Im having amnio. on Monday to check her lung development.  If things are developed like they are expecting Ill be needing the name for Tuesday!!  I was scheduled for a c-section on 2-6-08 but they are wanting to speed things up because of some protien in my urine.Now Im feeling a little preasured because we dont have the middle name yet.  
Take Care

I think the name is beautiful and it is very girly! I was going to suggest Bryleigh Ann.

You know, because this is your first girl, you could forgo the "Br" tradition and doing something unique for just her. But Bryleigh is def. cute! And who cares if your niece's middle name is Rose? GO FOR IT! If that is the name you want, then do it. You'll be calling her by her first name more than her middle. ;-)

I like the name Bryleigh for a girl. I don't think it is too masculine at all. I also like Rose for a middle name. I like unique names. My daughter's name is Navia (pronounced like Nadia, only with a V.) Her middle name is Rose.

I like the names Brynlee, Brynleigh, Brenleigh or Brooklynn.  As far as NA names, have you check online or in books?  I'm kinda stumped there.  As far as Bryleigh, I think it's cute but not for a girls name.  I'm thinking of nicknames and you'd be calling her "Bry" all the time and to me it sound too masculine.  If I have a daughter, I thought of Brynlee or however you choose to spell it.  Good luck and congrats!

I actually like Bryleigh - it's not too boy-ish sounding....and as for a middle name to fit would be like Bryleigh Ann or Bryleigh Marie (hehehehe, my name split up)  LOL

Bryleigh is definitely a different name - never heard of that one before.  I don't think it is to masculine, it might actually suit a little girl.  I've also heard the name Brocka - which is different for a girl.  As for a middle name - I'm not really sure....  maybe Rayen.. (meaning flower)...
