Yanni

Definitely not Spiro - I'd keep adding -graph to the end of it. Spyro would be better.

Yanni is nice. Think there may be a computer game called Spyro's adventure or something (that may or may not affect your opinion).

Yanni

My dogs called Spyro, as sparkling says it's also a dragon in a computer game.

Spyro is a little purple dragon.

Yanni is fab.

They're both fantastic! I have a soft spot for Spyro.

Yanni is Greek for John. & also when people say someone is an idiot in Greek they say he is a right yanni!

I like both of them - know a lovely Yanni (Iannis) and I think there was a Spyro in My Family and Other Animals. Great nn too!

I used to know a Spyro and a Yanni when I was frowing up. Spyro was a very cool arty teenager that all the girls fancied, and Yanni was a girl I knew. I think Yanni was her NN though ??

I like the names, but probably due to association.

Both are cool, Spyro sounds a little more masculine than Yanni to me, but I do like them both.

I know a German Yannick, which could be shortened to Yanni.
