Cyril

I like it for a boy that's nice and cool, but I dislike it for a girl- that's ridiculous and not feminine in my opinion. That's nice for boy.

I like it. It is a cute name.

My grandpa's name was Cyril with the nickname Cy. I thought his name was Cereal when I was a kid which always made him laugh. I think it's incredibly handsome and not heard very often. I loved having a relative with such a cool name since everyone else in my family is either Ann or John. I would definitely use it.

I am planning to name my third child Searyl, which is a better spelling.

A classic name that is forgotten by parents nowadays. Beautiful and good-sounding. I've always had a soft spot for names ending with ryl sound like Sheryl, Meryl and Darrell.
But I can't find a nickname for it. I dislike Cy for its sound.

I think Cyril is a beautiful name! I like both the French and English pronunciation.

I don't like this name.

I love the name. I love the spelling, I love to say it. It rolls off the tongue really nicely. "Cyril". Someone mentioned the cartoon character Cyril Sneer already, and he's a really funny character and a great antagonist with a complex personality. I'm also going to mention Cyril Proudbottom, J. Thaddeus Toad's horse and best friend in Disney's take on 'The Wind in the Willows'. Not only did Disney give the horse a name, they expanded his role, too.

I just love this name because I think it sounds beautiful. It is not a common name nowadays, but I think it just makes the name more interesting as you don't hear it often. I associate great times with this name, and although the name does not sound very silly or particularly casual, I would gladly name my child Pokemon and dog Cyril.

This name always puts me in mind of Final Fantasy Tactics Advance - Cyril is the first town you visit in that game. I always thought the developers made it up until I actually met someone named Cyril. Unfortunately, he must not have liked it, because everyone called him by his middle name instead. I like it, though. It's different without being too "out there". Plus, if you're a gamer, it's got a fun connection to Final Fantasy.

I do enjoy this name quite a bit... but the uncanny relation between the pronunciation (seer-el) and "Cereal" is too much. No child should be named after a breakfast food. End of story.
Perhaps in the name's native language (Czech, Slovak, French), but definitely no English speaking country. Not to mention that, just like the name Allegra, I foresee that Cyril will be ruined by some illness fighting medicine sooner rather than later.

The i in the name Cyril is short, so it sounds like nothing of the likes of Cereal. Of course, people think they can crtique names by pulling stuff from their but, but I like this actually.

Whenever I try to say this name, it sounds sort of like cereal. But Cyril's an okay name.

In my mind, it's always been pronounced "Sih-ril" with a soft "i" sound. I don't think I've ever heard anyone say it, though. I like it a lot, especially pronounced "Seer-il".
