Reminds me of cankles

hoddtastic · 27/04/2017 16:28

i really really don't like it at all.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 27/04/2017 15:57

Its like Daniel gone very wrong, sorry

DissonantInterval · 27/04/2017 15:49

Wow. Not heard of it till now. I'm Jewish but it's not a name I've come across. I do agree most people will assume it's either a typo.
Would have suggested Cain as an alternative - but he wasn't the nicest of guys what with murdering his brother.

Prison Break!

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

CuppaTeaTeddy · 27/04/2017 14:41

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

MrsLettuce · 27/04/2017 14:40

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.

JDelanysCleanHorse · 27/04/2017 14:35

Another person thinking of prison break Grin

TheMonkeyandthePlywoodViolin · 27/04/2017 14:34

Most people will pronounce it wrong and assume its made up

mummabearfoyrbabybears · 27/04/2017 14:33

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

Montsti · 27/04/2017 14:33

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...

trevortrevorslattery · 27/04/2017 14:33

Crikey sorry! I have shown myself up there by being ignorant Blush.

hm1610 · 27/04/2017 14:33

Yep I'd think prison break tooGrin

ShowOfHands · 27/04/2017 14:32

X-posts op.

I've never heard it used I don't think.

ShowOfHands · 27/04/2017 14:31

I think it's Hebrew.

Huh?

Itshellofromme · 27/04/2017 14:30

Never heard of it.

MmmmWine · 27/04/2017 14:29

I'd think you've been watching Prison Break.

ineedamoreadultieradult · 27/04/2017 14:29

Looks like a typo

ImperialBlether · 27/04/2017 14:29

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

trevortrevorslattery · 27/04/2017 14:29

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