Help[Opinions] Re: Marielle
in reply to a message by Elena
I've run into Mariel once. Never Marielle.
To me they're not the same name, partly because of the different emphasis on syllables. Mariel is MAYR-ee-əl, and Marielle is either Mary-YELL or mar-ee-ELL. Mariel seems like a complete name, Marielle seems like a diminutive for Mary.
I like Mariel. I don't care for Marielle - but I prefer the mar- pronunciation for it, rather than the mayr- one.
I like Marielle Corinne and Marielle Zoe.
Marielle Elizabeth doesn't work imo because of the -elle El- repeat.
I kinda like the French mn thing, because I feel like it forces the mar- prn instead of mayr.
Marielle Valentine (with French -teen pronunciation)
Marielle Melisande
Marielle Noémi
Marielle Johanne
Marielle Yolande

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.
