Azriel
For a boy.
angry cat that chases smurfs.
what she said:
Love it.
Yeah, that.:
:
I didn't realise it was from the smurfs until I looked it up, was wondering how many people would remember it... Or if the name brings up any other images.:
it does also conjur up some mystical aspects in my head. But I wonder if that is the smurfs link again? I also thought it was a more feminine name.
I'd go either Isaiah or Gabriel but not Azriel.
Ambriel is the guardian of gods garden - being Earth. Another option perhaps?
That was another concern of mine MG
Thanks Div :)
Sounds like the name of an angel.
Yes, it does happen to be the name of an angel....
Ok. Had a google. It seems to be the name of a number of well respected rabbis throughout history and means God's helper. I wouldn't dismiss it just because it is also the name of the angel of death. Death is part of life and I hope if I'm ever old and in pain, that an angel helps me find peace. Someone lifted my sons into their arms and cradled them for me. I like to think they found peace.
I think it's a lovely name.
Is it from somewhere else? It sounds really familiar, but maybe that is the smurf thing?
Gabriel is nice :)
ETA: Posted before I refreshed again. Thanks L&B.
If you're looking for an angel name, Raphael is one of my favourite names ever. Sadly dismissed by DH.
When ever I say it in my head it's comes out the way gargamel says it.
Which is long and high pitch.
So sorry I think smurfs too
I had similar thoughts about the whole angel of death thing... I love the way you articulated it though, thank you.:
I like it :)
I did think smurfs, but that alone wouldn't stop me using the name :p
I used to watch the smurfs as a kid and I couldn't remember the cats name, you all either have really good memories or is it because of the new(ish) smurfs movie?
Me too Tanya. I watched Smurfs and don't remember the name. Gargamel, yes. Not Azriel. Haven't seen the newish smurf stuff.
Azriel had me immediately thinking a cross between Azaria and Arielle. I had no idea that it was an angel.
replace the z with an R and you have one of my DS names
it means lion of god!
another one to think about
I watched the smurfs a lot as a kid and I didn't recognise the name...
I love it
I think it's great :)
I actuAlly really like it!!
I didn't know the smurfs thing but I quite like the name. Although my first thought was that it was for a girl, maybe that's because of the name Ariel
Ariel is a boys name too :)
I don't mind it! It's interesting :) in a good way hehe
With regards to the smurfs thing...people now might remember it, but your baby is going to grow up with a different set of cartoons and I would hazard a guess and say that the kids he will grow up with won't know who that character is.
Yeah that! lol:
I think of the Smurfs too, although I am pretty sure that it was spelled differently there...
I personally think that it is an odd name to use because of the Angel of Death thing - yes, death is a natural part of life and not necessarily a negative thing, but I think it's a bit of a heavy thing to call a child iykwim. jmo.
Thanks everyone... Still haven't decided. He's 2weeks old today.
i like the name & i like Az for short but my boys are big smurfs fans here so definatley think of the naughty cat!
I havent been on in a while, what did you decide?
Not for me, but I wouldn't bat an eyelid at it.
One of DS's little friends is called Azrael, at first I thought of the smurfs but only for a second and he hardly gets called by his full name ever, he's Az or Azzy to everyone.. I like it :)
Smurfs and also sounds a bit feminine
