Gael



If you went to Yale sometimes you call it "jail," and if you're British maybe you'd spell it "gaol," but this is neither of those, nor is it to Gail or Gale what Jaime can be to Jamie; it is GAH-el, kind of like Kal-El, or Superman, but more like a variant of Gwenaël. Gail, by the way, comes from Abigail, and Gale means jovial—i.e., gay—and Dorothy Gale got carried away by her own last name.
