I adore the name
Muriel. I pronounce it the same way you do. I fell in love with it watching "
Muriel's Wedding." The way her sister
Joan says, "You're terrible, Murrrrrriel," with the Aussie accent is so endearing. How could I help it?
I love the meaning and even prefer the
Muirgheal spelling, although I completely understand wanting the user-friendly
Muriel version.
By the way, you may like
Muir for a boy. It's exactly like the first syllable of
Muriel.
Muir Matheson was a conductor for films in the 1940's. I used to see his name in the credits all the time and was fascinated by it.
