I'm a grand uncle. My niece in Las Vegas just (3/13/04) gave birth to a 6 ½ pound baby girl. They have named her Nuriel Fiona Cook. Here is a picture of Nuriel and her father.
A quick search on Google turns up this on the names Nuriel and Fiona.
Nuriel is a prominent angel in Jewish lore, Nuriel is honored as being one of the tallest of all beings in heaven, declared to be three hundred parasangs tall (a measurement used among the Persians and accepted as being around three and a half miles). Nuriel is also supported by fifty myriads of angels said to have been formed out of fire and water. Associated with these angels is Nuriel's post as the angel responsible for hailstorms. A resident of the second heaven, he supposedly met Moses when the great lawgiver journeyed to heaven.
I found the name Fiona on a web site listing Irish names. It says the name means Fair.
