Over the past two days I heard a few names I never heard before:

Girls:
Rehan
Reich

Boys:
Caimin
Jillis

Rehan is pronounced Ray-ahn and she was a cute little girl (which is probably part of why I thought it was a pretty ok name ;) )and she looked Arabic, so I looked up the origin of the name and it's Arabic indeed, it means 'scented'. I kinda like the sound of Jillis as well, but I don't really like any of the names.
Reich is German for 'rich' and I'd never seen it as a name.
As for the boy's names, I have no idea what they mean.

Any thoughts on the names?
(Edit: I forgot to add the meaning of Reich 8))

I don't really like any of those.
Reich kind of freaks me out.
Reich is actually German for "empire" as in the Third Reich (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_reich).

Yeah I thought it meant both...
and I admit it, Reich reminds me of 'Das dritte Reich' as well =S

well maybe it does mean both, but the thing I think of first is still the most negative connotation.
And this was a little girls name? How did they pronounce it?

No the little girl's name was Rehan (fortunately). I don't know how they'd pronounce Reich, but since she was English, I don't think they'd pronounce it the German way.

so more like Rich than Rei-CK

[0o-faerie.livejournal.com]

Probably, yes!
