How would you pronounce [name_u]Jael[/name_u]? I know there are a few different pronunciations, but am just curious which is most commonly intuitive (at least among some berries) 
I would pronounce it the same as the word jail

‘Yah-ell’ is my go to, but I’ve also heard ‘Jay-ul’, ‘Jay-ell’ and ‘Yay-ul’, so my intuitive response is ??? when I see it because I don’t know which one it should be

I switch between yah-EHL and jay-EL! [name_u]Love[/name_u] this name 
it’s one of the names my grandma considered for my mom, the [name_u]Yael[/name_u] spelling though
JAY-əl
I pronounce it Jah-EHL or Yah-EHL. Such a handsome name! I’d probably spell it [name_u]Yael[/name_u] though

I’m used to the spelling [name_u]Yael[/name_u], which in [name_u]America[/name_u] is usually pronounced yah-EHLL, but I prefer the other pronunciation yiy-EHLL, (yiy rhymes with sky), which avoids the awkward pause in yah-EHLL. I would pronounce [name_u]Jael[/name_u] the same way, but many might say ‘jail.’
jy-ELL
yah-ELL

I would pronounce it jay-elle initially (there was an ANTM contestant like 15 years ago with this pronunciation lol) and yah-elle would be my second guess
Jay-elle! Only because I remember one being on a show i watched before and thats how she pronounced it. [name_f]Beautiful[/name_f] name
my brain jumps to jail but i would not want to say that - i would say yah-ell
Jay-elle
Yah-elle
