[name_m]Can[/name_m] someone help me get over the ‘ave’ in Miravela? Otherwise love this name.

I naturally say it with a little pause and differently than I would say avenue. I say the a of [name_f]Mira[/name_f] as uh and the a of Avenue like apple.

I pronounce it either like [name_f]Mirabella[/name_f] but with a v sound or [name_f]Mira[/name_f] and then vayla sound

Miravela is gorgeous! I didn’t see the ‘ave’ at all until you mentioned it, and still don’t really see it.

I don’t really notice the ave sequence. I like it!

I say mir-uh-vay-la, so didn’t even notice it has ave in it.

This sequence of letters is across two different parts of the name to my eye and ear, so the “ave” part doesn’t jump out at all. I parse it more like [name_f]Mira[/name_f] + [name_f]Vela[/name_f].
