Give baby a melodious name like Keryl. This gender-neutral moniker is an alternate spelling of Carol, which derives from Charles, the English and French form of Carolus. Tracing back to the Germanic term karlaz, Keryl means “free man.” It could also stem from the English word for “song” or “hymn.” Perhaps you will be listening to Christmas tunes when baby arrives. Or maybe you simply wish for them to grow up to be a free-thinker. No matter your motivation, Keryl is a sweet choice for baby.
