New name obsession.

I 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?

Whoah, didn't realize that the comment would be taken lie I was going Hitler on you. I was saying I was almost 99.99 % sure because I am Hispanic myself and live in South America and that sounds more of a 'version' of Javier or Yadira and to me versions are made up, not language bound. Take a chill pills peeps o.o

That's kind of like saying Ahleevya is North American... I've met someone named that but that doesn't make the name any less made up.

Well, since you left a very adamant statement involving capslock and no explanation, it did seem like you were "going Hitler" on this entry. I'm sorry that my liking a name that you claim is made up offends you, but I didn't mean to do that and I'm not going to stop liking it because of that.

that sounds more of a 'version' of Javier or Yadira and to me versions are made up, not language bound.

True, but this sounds like a more legitimate spin-off of a name (and many classic names have offshoots and spin-offs) than a lot of made-up names that I hear, like Kasen and Caven or like you said, Ahleevya (is that supposed to be Olivia? What?).

Dude I am not offended you like a name. Point me EXACTLY where I said I was offended you like a made up name. You're talking to the girl that was willing to name her child Velkoria... I never asked you to stop liking a name o.o. You are making some serious assumptions on me saying it's not language bound.

Listen you may like it very much but every site I've looked up has it as non existent. Thus, it is still made up... like it all you want though. And yes, that is 'supposed' to be Olivia... don't ask me though, her parents are special snowflakes.
