Thoughts on the name Kaniel?

99% of people will think it's a typo.

BounceBounceSplishSplash · 27/04/2017 14:24

Is it a hybrid of Ken & Daniel?

blueskyinmarch · 27/04/2017 14:24

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

RestingButchFace · 27/04/2017 14:26

I would assume a typo to be honest.

trevortrevorslattery · 27/04/2017 14:28

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

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.

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?

ineedamoreadultieradult · 27/04/2017 14:29

Looks like a typo

MmmmWine · 27/04/2017 14:29

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

Itshellofromme · 27/04/2017 14:30

Never heard of it.

KoalaDownUnder · 27/04/2017 14:30

Huh?

SabsMatthews · 27/04/2017 14:30

It is a proper name Hmm

I think it's Hebrew.

ShowOfHands · 27/04/2017 14:32

X-posts op.

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

hm1610 · 27/04/2017 14:33

Yep I'd think prison break tooGrin

trevortrevorslattery · 27/04/2017 14:33

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

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...

mummabearfoyrbabybears · 27/04/2017 14:33

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

TheMonkeyandthePlywoodViolin · 27/04/2017 14:34

Most people will pronounce it wrong and assume its made up

JDelanysCleanHorse · 27/04/2017 14:35

Another person thinking of prison break Grin

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.

CuppaTeaTeddy · 27/04/2017 14:41

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

PeachPants · 27/04/2017 15:06

Prison Break!

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