Sialle

I saw this name in a breastfeeding community on Facebook. I told the mother it was nice and she said thanks, that it's pronounced Sea-el-leh and it means Frangipani in her partners language. I think it's absolutely beautiful! WDYT?

Not my style because if you didn't know the language/meaning it seems made up, like a mash of two names.

But Sialle beats being called Frangipani, I do think it has a very nice flowing sound & they're beautiful plants, I've got a red one in my backyard.

It's a lovely sound, and looks beautiful written too. I wouldn't have known to pronounce it that way though.

It looks prettier than it sounds. I had no idea what a Frangipani was, or why somebody would want to be named after it.
