[Opinions] Re: Reuel
in reply to a message by JemimahGertrude
I would say Roo-ehl.
I didn't know it was one of Tolkien's MNs.
If I dwell on the sound, it reminds me of cruel and gruel (particularly if pronounced as one syllable), but also Reuben and Raoul. I feel like I've met someone named it but can't remember when or where. It sounds elderly to me but could fit in with names like Remiel / Rémy and Nehemiah.
