The "interesting" names I've heard recently

EarsToYou · March 2012

On the radio: Meridian and Abreel (? guessing on the spelling, sounds like Ah-breel -rhymes with wheel-) both high school girls

My mom has 2 incoming kindergartners in the fall: Abain and Akair, both boys (I couldn't find anything on these online, are they legit?)

Leap Year baby in the paper: Rebel Monroe, boy. Joining his big sister Konnor.

FB friend is naming her baby girl: Kendyll Grace

Oh boy...

Very odd names. However I know a few Kendyll's (girls).. and its becoming popular

I'm wondering if you misheard Abreel - could it have been Aprille (as in April in Italian?) Granted it's pronounced Ah-preel-lay but Ah-preel is a dialect-y way to say it.

I really like Meridian, actually. Is that funky?

It's definitely possible I misheard it, since it was on the radio. He did ask her to say it twice though, so I thought I caught it.

I am thinking the "Abreel" name you heard could be Abril. It's April in Spanish.

There's a Meridian, MS so maybe that's where it came from?

I kind of like it...but would never use it.

I like it too, and I'm aware of what it means. (Do I really need to name a child for an imaginary line? Probably not.) I like the sound of it though, and I like that the nickname could be Merry. I'd never use it, but another of my guilty pleasure names was Dravidian and that was a group of people/language. I think everyone has a few names they like that make no sense and really would never be used.
