Reply:NIGEL


Gender: Masculine





Usage: English





Pronounced: NIE-jel [key]





From Nigellus, a Latinized form of NEIL. It is sometimes associated with Latin niger "black".





NEIL is from the Gaelic name Niall, which is of disputed origin, possibly meaning "champion" or "cloud". This was the name of a semi-legendary 4th-century Irish king. A famous modern bearer of this name was American astronaut Neil Armstrong, the first person to walk on the moon.





Personally, I don't really like either name. They seem like "weak" names to me. I much prefer "Nathan" (or "Nat") or "Noah".
Reply:My first impression is that it's more of a smart person name.
