My friend just gave birth to a healthy girl whom she named Kyla, after her brother Kyle.


Another note, what do you think of the name Abraham or Abram? They are just names I've been thinking about lately, with the nn Abe.

I really don't like Kyla but I like Abraham!

I'm not a big fan of Kyla either, but her intentions were good I guess. I just don't like how directly derived from Kyle it is. I would have rathered something like Kayla, where the meaning is there, but it's not so obvious.

i dont like kyla at all, but i love that it has such meaning for her.

Congrats to your friend =]

As I am an avid Simpsons fan....That is basically all that comes to mind when I see the name Abraham/Abe lol.

Kyla hmm too trendy? yeah.

A friend of mine has a son Abraham Scott, nn Abe :)

Kyla's trendy? I've never heard it be used before, actually...

[th3-unicorn.livejournal.com]

Kyla, Kya, Kayla, Kylie.. it's not trendy speficically, but the combination of letters and the feel to it, make it trendy-sounding!

Avram, Abraham, Avi

You may also be interested in considering the modern Hebrew variations of Abraham, such as Avi, Avinoam, Avishai, Avichai, etc.

If you are Jewish, Avram and Abraham have different connotations as Avram is the name of Abraham before he was recognized by G-D as a patriarch, after which he changed his name to Abraham. You also have Aviv, a nice name that means spring.

I'd be happy to say more about the Avi variations if you're interested, just let me know. We are considering something like this for my baby (in utero) as my grandfather was Abraham (didn't like his name; changed from Avram at Ellis Island) and My Loved One's father's name (of blessed memory) was Avi.

That may have been TMI...

It's not my style, but it's respectable enough. Not made up, not too popular but not Whuuuut? either, and it's after a loved one. So it's a fair name, and I think she'll like it.

I like Kyla and I like Abe, for some reason I have the name "Abner" stuck in my head lately and I can not figure out why!

I love Abraham, Abram, and Abe. We were considering Abram for my son when I was pregnant. I still like it but probably won't get a chance to use it. =]
