    Not a fan.  Two problems:  (1)  I have no idea to pronounce it.  (2)  If I saw it, I would assume it was an ethnic name, but never would I guess it was Irish.

    Pronunciation please!

    You never know with some of those Irish names, what looks like Nye-elle could be pronounced Steven

    I don't like it.  At first glance I thought it said 'Nail'.

    It depends on if the bearer is Irish or Scottish. One pronounces it Nye-ull, the other Neil.

    I'm not saying it is a bad name, but all I can think of is the faery prince Niall in the Southern Vampire Mysteries.  :)

    Haha this is all I can think of as well. However I'm assuming that's an association that will significantly fade over time.

    LOVE.

    I dated a guy named Niall for awhile and he was pretty awesome, so I have a nice association with it too.

    He pronounced it like Neil though, but I like it either way.

    I like it but I am a fan of Irish/Scottish names. If we used it, we'd use the Scottish pronunciation.
