Cadel

I was watching Tour De France earlier and the Australian cyclist coming 4th is called Cadel Evans. According to my battered old name book it's Welsh and means "prepared for battle". I quite like it. What do you think?

I also quite like it.
& I like its meaning :)

Sounds like a girls name to me.

I'm assuming it's pronounced as Kaydle?
A little too close to 'cabel' for my taste.

Wouldn't mind it prn'd with the french accent, that way it'd be "kah-DEL".
Just thought of it because it's the tour de France hehe

sorry, that would've been 'cable', as in 'cable tv'

I like it.

I kinda like it too. And appropriate in the context (Tour) =P

I've only heard it pronounced kah-DEL, but Eurosport commentators are generally pretty terrible at pronouncing names.

I agree, I don't like it as Kaydle.As laura_anne said, the commentators pronounce it as ka-DEL.
I just realised that my book spells it Cadell, which I'm inclined to like better as it encourages the latter pronounciation. :D

true!
I like it even better with a double 'l'. I actually like this name quite a bit :) Cadell Grey might be one of my new favorites!
