This is the name of a character in Gail Carriger's Parasol Protectorate series of books. The name suits him impeccably well, as he's a Scottish werewolf.

This is my brother's name, except in his case, it is spelt with one "l" only, i.e., Conal. In fact, I've never seen it spelt with two "l"s before.
