Hi all, I'd like to hear opinions on a name, and suggestions for middle name.

The name is Abrihet - pronounced "Ah-bree-het(rhymes with jet) It's African and it's meaning is she shines/emanates light.
I realize some probably wont like it, but I love different names, and to me, this one isn't too different as to seem completely unappealing to everyone not of its ethnic origin.
I like how the first part of the name Abri "ah-bree" - is pretty identical sounding to that of the name Aubrey. I prefer Abrihet for everything about it, in that it's meant as just a girls name, (whereas Aubrey is unisex) it's different, it has (to me) a nice meaning, and because it's ethnic ( I have African ancestry on my father's side). And maybe it's just me, but it makes me think of Audrey Hepburn, whom I love! :)

So aside from not liking it, (for those who do) any middle name suggestions? I don't have a preference, just something that flows well, sounds nice.

TIA!

Side note: On the baby name site I found the name Abrihet, I just saw that some girl posted about what she and her husband intend to name their daughter. The name, which she says she isn't joking about... Bazooka Joan. I like different names, but I don't think Bazooka is a good choice at all. O.o
