"B" Names

[rockstargrrrlie.livejournal.com]

Eventually (a very long time in the future!) I'd like to name my first child (boy or girl) in honor of my pop-pop, who was named Bernard. I'd like to give them a name starting with B, but I'm finding that good B names are hard to come by.

What are some of your favorite B names, for a boy or girl?

I absolutely love Belén, a Spanish girl's name pronounced like Bel-LAYN.
I also quite like the Icelandic girl's name Brynja (BRIN-yah), but in English-speaking countries it just seems like some creative name =\
