This is the fastest rising girl's name in the century that the Social Security Administration has been keeping track of these things. From zero to 70th in six years.
It's "heaven" spelled backwards.
So what comes next?
Anavrin? Sounds like a painkiller.
Ayla, for Muslim girls (and her friends the 72 siruoh)?
Hallahlav? Maybe, though it sounds like a Cockney greeting ("'ello, luv")
Supmylo? Maybe, though it sounds like a ghetto greeting ("'S up, Mylo")
And why stop with heavens? Obmil, anyone? Yrotagrup?
Y, indeed?
