Help choosing btwn 2 girl names...

My favorite girl name is Serena, but due to family obligations I have to use a name that begins with the letter "B". I don't love any "B" names but do sorta like a few. DH has vetoed some that others have suggested like Brooke, Beth and Bailey so I've narrowed it down to 2 but can't decide:

Brielle Serena

or

Breanne Serena (or any variation like Brianne, Brayanne, etc.)

I don't usually like popular names (and I know that Breanne is very popular now), but I live in a place where that's not a problem at all and it will actually be a unique name.

I need opinions please! Thanks so much!
Please feel free to suggest anything else!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the name Brielle. My daughter is Brielle Nicole and there isn't a day that goes by that I regret naming her that. Whenever we go places people always make comments on what a pretty name it is. I finally found the meaning (I had gotten the name from Gabrielle) and it means exalted goddess. I am pregnant with my third child and second girl and we are trying to find a B name ourselves. Having a hard time! Good luck and I think Brielle is a beautiful name. The hard thing for me is that I love Brielle so much it is hard to find another name I love in that same way!

How about Brayden? (Bray like pray and den) My sister named my niece Brayden Victoria. It took some getting used to but I like it. I have not heard the name Serena in a long time. I had a childhood friend by the name of Serena. Just one thing with the naming scheme you are going after, how will the initials look? B.S. :)

Good luck!
