Riel

[Tallsocks]

I love the name Riel (ree-el) for a boy but does it sound way too corny with our last name...Riel Wild?

Erm, yes. It ree-ely does.

sorry, couldn't resist

3/10

😂😂

What were the 3 points for?

It would be pronounced Real Wild often I think. I'd keep looking OP.

Ugh, yeah, I kind of know deep down that it's not going to work but I've liked that name since I was about 10 so I was looking for some positives! I have the same problem with the other name I like, though, which is Cohen. 😫

Cohen is better

Please be careful with Cohen. It is a religious rank like ‘priest’ and as a Hebrew surname it denotes a very specific Jewish heritage.

Cohen Wild!

You are making these up right? You are not being serious?
In case you are for real, please don’t.

And forget Ivor too

Rielly???
Is this even riel?

I used to like the Really Wild Show.

Riel wild one.
I’d assume Riel was short for Gabriel. It’s a nine name but obviously not with your surname

He’s Cohen a bit wild, there.
Sorry to disappoint thee, but. That doesn’t work either.

How about Keil or Keillor?

Nope, not making these up. I've always liked the name Cohen but know that it's a definite"no" with our last name. I thought I could maybe get away with Riel, since the emphasis is on the "L" (ree-"L") but I don't think that's going to work, either. Other suggestions welcome.

Dexter Wild.
Oliver Wild
Rex Wild
Casper Wild
Colby Wild
Jacob Wild

I don't think we have the same taste in names.

Cohen (goin’) Wild - Riel-y

Don't do it!

Aww, I’m feeling you OP. I really love Tait, but it wouldn’t work with DH's surname.

Have the option of using my surname as I didn’t take his, but DH has two other kids and they have his surname so I feel like mine should too.

If it helps, I think they’re lovely and unusual names...

Torben? Or Kerr?

How about Gabriel on bc but you use riel at home? Then whenever first and surname are used ( rarely even at school) it will be Gabriel.

It’d be a bit confusing if he was Riel at home and Gabriel at school. Your name is either abbreviated or it’s not.

I don’t see why you’d shorten Gabriel to Riel. Just because the letters are there? They’re two totally different names!
