Prob'ly because of the Latin-based (esp. Fr.) names ending in El... Like Belle, Isabelle, Raquel, Rochelle, Laurelle, etc.
However, Hebr. names for boys frequently contain "El" in reference to G-d.
Raphael
Gabriel
Ezekiel
Elijah
Elkanah
Once you get the concept of it, Ariel can grow on you as less fem... esp. if you have Jewish friends and aquaintances.

Yeah, having never seen Little Mermaid (and the name is not used here), the only person I associate Ariel with is Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon. BTW, his nickname is Arik which I also love.
I would seriously use Ariel for a boy, if it wasn't for the detergent brand. Poor Ariel, can't get a break anywhere:-(
