[Facts] Pronunciation Question: Mireille & Mireio
Oh French speakers, how do you pronounce Mireille and/or Mireio (the medieval era name from which Mireille is said to have evolved from)?Thank you so much. I know i knew once, but I can't remember. I have a tendency to pronounce everything phonetically.

I don’t mind waiting if it takes a long, long time.
And I don’t mind wasting the best years of our lives.
And I don’t mind racing through our goodbyes.

mi-RAY with a rolled R, and I've never seen Mireio before, but would pronounce it mi-RAY-o, also with a rolled R.

Thank you!Well, I could never say it correctly, unfortunately (I cannot roll 'r's for the life of me), but I may use the second for a character. Again, thanks!
