I have always thought girl but met a baby boy named Briar recently. I still like it on a girl better.

This.  I think of the obvious, a briar patch.  It sounds like something I would have named one of our horses growing up.

There was a little boy named Brier in the playgroup we attended this fall. Not really a fan of it as a name.

I have a nephew named Briar, alothugh it is spelled differently.  I love him and the name suits him now, but I have always thought of it as a girl's name and think it was a really, really strange choice. 

ETA: even though I know one, I still chose "girl" in the poll.

I've recently heard of an old acquaintance on FB naming their baby Briar. Can't remember if it was a girl or a boy. All I can think of is that it reminds me of a dog's name.

I went to school with a very pretty girl named Briar- so it is all girl to me.
