Acronym Baby Names – Ily, Ilys, Ktyal

I’ve seen acronym baby names like Ily (I love you) and Ilys (I love you so) before.

And I’m familiar with all those crazy Soviet-era acronym names like Lunio (Lenin is dead, but his ideas remain) and Vilorik (Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, liberator of workers and peasants).

But this is the first Ktyal I’ve ever seen:

When Verna Cornelia Price gave birth to a daughter four years ago, she and her husband named the baby Ktyal, an acronym for “Know That You Are Loved.”

How do you think they pronounce Ktyal?

Have you spotted any other acronym baby names lately?

  1. Well, I’m sure there are kids out there named Lexus, which is “luxury export for the US”…

    And when my mother had the audacity to name my brother Ian (a scottish name; we are Irish-German), my grandmother told her: “Ian is what you have left when you take CHRIST out of CHRISTian: I Am Nothing.” I know, it’s assigned after the fact but this reminded me of that….

  2. I’ve heard Lexus, too… But I’ve been waiting for the day that I see a “Lylas”- love you like a sister.

    @Bridgett- Ouch! Your nan sounds tough!
