Kyrielle

• From the (typically sung) prayer "Kyrie eleison," which means "Lord have mercy [on us]." It's a very spiritual name.
• A kyrielle is a French poem. I think it sounds romantic and beautiful but not weird and could fit right in with so many French names like Gabrielle, Michelle, etc.

from Wikipedia.org: The name kyrielle derives from the Kyrie, which is part of many Christian liturgies. A kyrielle is written in rhyming couplets or quatrains. It uses the phrase "Lord have mercy", or a variant on it, as a refrain as the second line of the couplet or last line of the quatrain. In less strict usage, other phrases, and sometimes single words, are used as the refrain.
