[Opinions] Re: Avielle
in reply to a message by Delphi_Blue
What do you think of Avielle?
I think it looks pretty and sounds pretty the way I say it. It has the sound of a Biblical name, like the angels you know? I think that's a popular sound. Though on first look I do want to say Arielle, being as it's only one letter off, and I think that'll be a problem an Avielle will have her whole life.
How would you pronounce it?
ah-vee-EL which I think is pretty. If it's said AY-vee-el, I don't think it's very pretty.
What middle name would you pair with it?
I think just about anything could go with it, it's got that sound.
What do you think of Avielle Carys?
I think it looks and sounds good and flows well and is pretty.
Do you like it as a little sister to Xanthe & Sylvie?
I think Xanthe, Sylvie, and Avielle work as a sibset.

Yeah, I don't like Ay-vee-elle at all, so I'm pleased to see everyone who has responded so far saying they would prn it with a short Ah- sound.
Valid point about it being confused with Arielle. I think that would be more of a problem if Arielle were a lot more common than it is, but I'm sure it will happen. I've spent my whole life correcting people and spelling my name, and I've survived, so honestly it doesn't worry me too much :)
Thanks for the feedback!
