babynamesRan across this one in an elementary school the other day, and it made me blink.
Ithariel?
WTH is that? I had to look it up, but I couldn't find a legit occurrence of it. It's not even elvish (Tolkien), which was my first thought, but even if it were... who gives a child a name like that? It bothers me when names have no meaning, especially when it seems like a made up name out of a fantasy novel.
Maybe it's a misspelling of Ithuriel, or some attempt at feminisation of it, but I still boggle. Why would you do that? Poor kid.
WDYT, am I being too harsh?
