hermione-vader.livejournal.comI keep fixating on the name Yadier these days. Maybe I've been watching too much baseball. It's Spanish, I believe, and the pronunciation is "Yad-ee-yair" or "Yad-yair" and nn can be Yadi. The closest thing I can find on any naming website is the feminine Yadira (Spanish, possibly from Arabic), so it may be a masculine version of that or a variation on Javier (my first thought). Since it's not an English name, I can't say whether it's "made-up" or not.
It's not a name I'd ever use on a child (maybe on a pet, though), but it's just intriguing me a lot. I like the sound and it's unusual to me. WDYT of Yadier?
