Is it a hybrid of Ken & Daniel?

That is a terrible name - is it made up? How is it to be pronounced? Like Daniel or Kah-neil?

I would assume a typo to be honest.

Hm. It sounds like an abbrevation - K(ing Charles Sp)aniel

Oh actually depends on pronunciation. I've assumed Kaniel to rhyme with Daniel. Kah-neil is actually ok I think.

Just give your child a proper name, for heaven's sake! Do you want him to be picked on?

Apologies if I'm being ignorant and it's a name from a different country/culture but, IMO it sounds like a new breed of designer dog...I.e. puggle, labradoodle etc...a cross between a spaniel & another...

It sounds like cankle. When you have fat ankles that go straight up to your calves. Confused

Most people will pronounce it wrong and assume its made up

I thought it was a typo for Kaneel, which is Dutch for cinnamon. That's pronounced in the same way as I'd assume Kaniel is.

I really don't like it. Reminds me of a name like Kayden; Names mixed together.

I didn't mind it, but the more I look at it I think Spaniel. Confused now!
