Looking for opinions on a new name on our radar,Arielle,& how would you pronounce it?

I think we’ve pretty much decided that our first girl will be named [name]Coralie[/name], or possibly [name]Emmaline[/name]. But just stumbled across [name]Arielle[/name] & remembered how much I like it! What do you think of [name]Arielle[/name]? And does it sound like a good sister to [name]Coralie[/name] or [name]Emmaline[/name]? If you saw the name, how would you assume it was pronounced, air-ee-ull, or r-ee-[name]ELLE[/name]? We would want the pronunciation R-E-[name]ELLE[/name]. I would love to hear your thoughts!!

I love [name]Arielle[/name]! I automatically pronounce it as “r-ee-[name]ELLE[/name]” when I see it spelled this way. I think it’d be fine with [name]Coralie[/name] and [name]Emmaline[/name].

I would assume it was pronounced r-ee-elle.

[name]Air[/name]-ee-elle. I think it would be great with either [name]Coralie[/name] or [name]Emmaline[/name] but I’d prefer it with [name]Coralie[/name].

I would pronounce this Are-ee-elle. It is my sister’s name. She gets compliments on it a lot, but people also pronounce it as [name]Ariel[/name] like the little mermaid. We call her [name]Arie[/name] for short. I like this pronunciation much better than [name]Ariel[/name] or air-ee-elle.

[name]Arielle[/name] is Are-ee-elle and [name]Ariel[/name] is [name]Air[/name]-ee,ul for me! [name]Arielle[/name] would be wonderful with [name]Coralie[/name] or [name]Emmaline[/name]

I like [name]Arielle[/name] a lot! I prefer [name]Arianne[/name], but I really do love [name]Arielle[/name], too. My best friend nearly named one of her triplets [name]Arielle[/name], so I’m used to pronouncing it the way she did (are-YELL; she always told me it was the French pronunciation). I’m not sure about [name]Coralie[/name] and [name]Arielle[/name] together, but I really love [name]Arielle[/name] and [name]Emmeline[/name] together. I think [name]Arielle[/name], [name]Emmeline[/name], and [name]Coralie[/name] would be a great trio for sisters!

If you want to pronounce it [name]Ariel[/name] ([name]Little[/name] Mermaid) then I would spell it that way but if not that use your spelling.
