My cousin Talitha is having a daughter who she plans to name Shoshana Carleigh.

I dont like it. At all. I told her that the name doesnt appeal to me at all, but she wouldnt stand for it. Maybe it will grow on me, but I'm not sure.

As for names I suggested-
Kirie: Ky-ree. I am a mommy's helper for three little girls, one of which's name is Kirie Nicole. I dont exactly like Nicole, but I adore Kirie.

Adéla: Another one of the girls I am a mommy's helper for is named Macie Adéla. I LOVE it, especially Adéla.

Tallie said she'd consider them at least a tiny bit, but she doesn't seem to like them.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to names like Shoshana or Carleigh that she might like?

Kyrie means "Lord" (as in Lord Jesus in the prayer "Kyrie Eleison," Lord have mercy) in Greek. So, yeah :(

i think that kyrie is pronounced differently, though... isn't it keer-eee-ay?

[ladyofmoonlight.livejournal.com]

Yeah, Kirie is pronounced syllabically, kee-ree-ay. I mean, you could pronounce it Kirie if you're using it as a made up name or something, but if you're going for the correct pronunciation from Japanese it has all three syllables.

It's Japanese too? Is it a name, or a word for something?

(I think longwrongroad was referring to Kyrie as in "Lord (have mercy)" in Greek)

When i sing Mass.. Kyrie, it's pronounced keer-eee-ay, latin? hmm i don't know, i'm not religious so i don't have a clue what i'm singing about!

Greek. It's the vocative of Kyrios, which means Lord, so "Kyrie" itself means something like "O Lord."

So yes, Kee-ree-ay.
