What do you think of Cyrille/Cyril

Smootchy

My cousin is named Cyrille although he writes it Cyril because most american's wouldn't know the difference anyway.

I always like the name. Thought it was sorta bad a$s...

A post below had a girl with mn Cyril, made me think.

NMS.  It is a perfectly fine name, but seems really dated to me.  I slightly prefer Cyrus and much prefer Cecil.

I've actually never heard of it before.  Is it pronounced like Cyrus? (minus the 'us' and add in the 'il')

I don't think I would use it in the end though.

There was a guy in my high school class named Cyril. I called him Cereal.

And that's pretty much how I feel about that.

The "y" is more like a short "i" or "ee", so it is more like SEER-uhl

LOL, the post below said cereal, and I was gonna say sorta reminds me of cereal.. But it's SA-Real

My cousin isn't from this country, so I'm sure whatever high school he went to, he was proabably one of the more normal names. He came here to go to college and when you're older, I don't think your name really causes you to get picked on anymore. So there were no "cereal" teasing.

That and the guy is over 6 ft, very huge guy who sorta looks like burt from seasme street. Needless to say he's got A GREAT sense of humor and can defend his own ground.

ETA: not a name option for me, just saw it in post below and wondered thoughts

Was that the name of the brother of the dude from Oz?  Wow, that was a vague question.  Anyway, that's who I think of.

The only people I know with this name are ancient. Big thumbs down for me.

I love this name.  And it is bad a@@.  But I don't think my husband will go for it.

The only Cyril I have ever met is a world-famous medical examiner who has consulted on pretty much every high profile death/murder in the past 40-50 years. He's older than dirt, covered in liver spots and is allegedly a pretty crooked dude.  Bad association.

NMS. Reminds me of cereal.

It makes me think of cereal.

I kind of like it.  I have only met a couple of Cyrils, one of whom was a monk - no surprise, to me it has strong religious associations as a saint's name.  I would never think of it as a girl's name at all, but I guess everything is unisex these days.

I like it decently well -- I've met one guy with this name, and he wore it well.

I think I prefer Cyrus, though.

It's a name that seems odd to me when it isn't followed by "and Methodius", just because that is the context in which I hear it 99.99% of the time.

I know the sweetest old man named Cyril but I couldn't get on board with it as a baby name.
