[Opinions] Re: Marielle
I actually like both spellings, however, I prefer Marielle because the stress is more on the 'elle' ending while Mariel can be pronounced similar to Muriel which I don't especially care for. In addition, I've heard people pronounce Mariel three different ways so again, Marielle looks less problematic. I agree with you that MAR is much nicer and I think it would be worth the effort to get people to pronounce it that way. Who knows if it would take?Thank you for your suggestions. Marielle Noémi and Marielle Valentine are just gorgeous. I'm with you on the repetitiveness of MariELLE ELisabeth. I do like the French spelling much more than Elizabeth. It's a reliable option if not an exciting one, lol."Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that." -- Martin Luther King, Jr.
