I didn't find one about my real name (Pilleriin), but I found one about a song called Pille-Riin : 'Pille-Riin lyrics should have won more Grammies and had more music lyric nominations.' Someone had posted it under the lyrics

Sparkle, your name sounds really cool. What does it mean in your language?
Alright, mine didn't change at all, so to do it again I used "Kristine" instead of "Kristie" (since that is my name haha) "While obtaining her Bachelor of Science at Fordham University (Bronx, New York), Kristine won the title of Fordham Idol in a feisty vocal competition..."

I didn't find anything, but I found this: Most Shir, however, won’t make a den until they plan to settle and make a family. Apparently my name is some kind of a fox!

Actually I don't know. It's combined from two different names: Pille and Riin. I have heard that the name Pille comes from the name Sybille, but I don't know what that means either.
