Kyrie?

Any opinions on Kyrie? Pronounced KEER-ee-ay. It's common in Catholic liturgy as part of the phrase "kyrie eleison", which means "Lord have mercy". Kyrie itself is a form of kyrios, "lord". As such, it could be related to Cyrus and Cyril. Following the pattern and meaning, I suppose it should be a male name, but I LOVE it as a female name.

What do you think?
