Hi Ci’el–love your name! Is than an accent or apostrophe? Is that traditionally French?

Wow thats fantastic. My name is Ci’el and i have never heard anybody else by that name. To clarify it is pronounced C-L, simple as that, it is the french word for sky which is said c-el-eh.
How cool.

Min and SouthernBelle, as Mallory already mentioned, there is no “feminine” form of Ciel, because in French a noun is EITHER masculine OR feminine, and does not adapt to its subject like an adjective does [e.g. le beau ciel…la belle femme). Sorry to harp on this, but I had to say something on behalf of us language nerds!

I think that Ciel is her way of naming the baby after Krissy. “The skies” or the “heavens” probably makes her think of her sister. It is a beautiful way of honoring her sister, yet still giving the baby her own identity.

That is so wonderful for Niki, Burney, Jake, and Hunter. I bet you that baby will be the darling of everyone in the household.

Ciel is an unusual name, but I can certainly see why her parents chose it — she is a miracle baby, who came from the skies, or the “heavens.”

I’m a little surprised that Niki didn’t include her sister Krissy’s name, but the oldest Taylor daughter, Joie, named her baby girl Erin, which was Krissy’s middle name. Niki loved Krissy tremendously, but she doesn’t need to name a child after her to prove it.

Congratulations!! What a lovely name, I knew immediately it’s meaning. She was born on my 74th birthday. I shall remember her birthday and her lovely Mama.

I don’t know it for a fact that Ciel was born there, but being from Brentwood, TN (just outside of Nashville and in Williamson County where Niki lives) I would say most non-celeb and celebrity mothers choose Baptist Hospital for their fantastic Childbirth Services. They are top-notch!

(If we knew the password, we could look at their online nursery. LOL!)

I love the name Ciel, but I would have spelled it in the feminine form, Cielle, but that’s just me. I am ecstatic for Niki and family at the birth of this precious gift after so much pain and loss in Niki’s life. Enjoy your little girl, Niki!
