Re: Lyle
I like Lyle because the only one I’ve known is kind, glamorous, and interesting. Great associations. I love the name Lyall. It gives some great substance and the addition of the theorized “wolf” meaning is appealing to me.

I like Lyall! Wow, haha. Somehow it seems warmer than Lyle, but they're the same...

Yes, it does seem warmer! I don’t know how to describe it well, but I usually feel the spellings of things as I’m saying them. Words very much contain their letters to me — I see them in my brain sort of as I’m saying them. So Lyall feels warmer and more substantial than Lyle. Isabelle -feels- longer and more frilly than the spare, elegant Isabel. Niamh has a whole feeling of its own that Neve completely lacks.... etc.
