[Opinions] Abriel
I used to go to school with a girl named Abriel (prn. ah-BREEL). I've always kind of liked it, I wouldn't use it, but it's still pretty IMO. Wdyt?

Hmm. That's an interesting name, although it seems a bit... confused. Abriel is traditionally a boys' name, generally pronounced AY-bree-el or AB-ree-el. The pronunciation ah-BREEL makes me think of the word Abril, which is Spanish for April, and much more feminine. If it was Abril I would really like it, but otherwise I'm left a little confused. Adorable cat picture, btw!

Not keen personally, but then, it's different so that's a good point. I prefer Avriel, pronounced av-ree-EL

Are you sure it's not Abril (the Spanish form of April, also pronounced ah-BREEL)? Abriel looks like Gabriel without the G to me, so I'd say AY-bree-ehl at first glance. Abril is much nicer.
