Hiley
I was looking under the birth announcements in my paper, and saw the name Hiley for a boy. Any idea what Hiley means?

Hooked on Ganja, Er, PhonicsOn second thought, I'd guess that the parents were whacked on ganja or else poor spellers, attempting to name the baby after Haile Selassie ("Might/Power of the Holy Trinity"), our hometown boy Ras Tafari who became Emperor of Ethiopia in 1930 and venerated object of a religion more of us might have chosen if our parents had given us a choice. Very cool body of liturgical music...- da.

My late dad once told me about Selassie's visit to Jamaica; he was shocked/amused that part of the population greetd him as a God,and wondered out aloud "who the fook are these people!?"

If she were born in ancient Sparta, she would have faced Jutta Nasya in the playpen...

Sounds like Riley with an H to me.
Or maybe some made-up male form of Hilary.That's just my wild guess.
