[Opinions] Re: Muriel
in reply to a message by Marie
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.
