[Facts] Vreneli and Sicele
Vreneli: It's Swiss, I think and female. Wikipedia suggests it's a form of Verena. Anyone know it's this is true and how is it prn.Sicele: I came across an Irish women born around the turn of the century with this name. I was wondering if it was an early creative form of Cecily or if it had something to do with Sicly.

FRE-ne-liAt last a trivia: The Swiss cold coin carries the name "Goldvreneli".
