Amil

Where Amil comes from

Amil hasn't made it into the dictionaries we draw on, and nobody well known enough for an encyclopedia has carried it yet — so for now its story is the one the SSA record tells. Names that spell a familiar sound a new way often live here for a while before anyone writes them down.

    American rapper
  4. 2010
    Mostly boys from here
    Until now more girls than boys got the name; from this year it's the other way round, and has stayed that way.
