Yeah, to me
Gavril just seems like the name some LOTR-obsessed boy would use in his own fanfiction involving all the same characters. Excalibur, Anduril, Glamdring... they're all names of famous literary swords, and just seem the same to me. I don't quite know why. But, now that I've said
Agafya, you're totally right! It's gorgeous! I was definately struggling with pronunciation before because I was trying to turn it Welsh. It really DOES look Welsh, when you think about it. But then I looked it up and it's quite nice.
And I've thought up a bit of story for our socially-lacking sword boy!
Arwen,
Galadriel and
Eowyn are in battle killing all sorts of nasty orcs and other beasties, but they are losing.
Aragorn,
Legolas and all the other LOTR hotties come in to help, but of COURSE the orcs kill them. So our dear boy swoops in riding a dragon, wearing shining chain mail and clutching
Gavril in his oh so muscular arms. This is HIS fantasy afterall LOL!
He then slays all the nasties and saves middle earth and
Arwen,
Galadriel and
Eowyn fall madly in love with him. The end!
