Aw yay I love this! Maryelle is my number one girl name, I love it so much, and [name_f]Marielle[/name_f] is close to it! Obviously my personal preference is the mary-elle pronunciation, but I think MAH-rielle is also super pretty, elegant, and chic (as another poster put it). I did go to summer camp with a [name_f]Marielle[/name_f] (MAH-rielle) and she had a twin sister named [name_f]Mimi[/name_f] which was super cute.

I find the name to have a lot of nickname options! Some of the more obvious ones like [name_f]Mari[/name_f], [name_f]Elle[/name_f], [name_f]Ellie[/name_f], [name_f]Ria[/name_f], [name_f]Rielle[/name_f], [name_u]Ari[/name_u], but I also feel like you can get away with others too like [name_f]Maisie[/name_f].

I’m not sure of your style, so I’m going to just throw out a few random middle names:

[name_f]Marielle[/name_f] [name_f]Vanessa[/name_f]
[name_f]Marielle[/name_f] [name_u]Camille[/name_u]
[name_f]Marielle[/name_f] [name_f]Cassandra[/name_f]
[name_f]Marielle[/name_f] [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f]
[name_f]Marielle[/name_f] [name_f]Aurora[/name_f]
[name_f]Marielle[/name_f] [name_f]Faye[/name_f]
[name_f]Marielle[/name_f] [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]
[name_f]Marielle[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f]

I really love it! It’s very pretty, elegant but with some power to it. there’s multiple meanings for it, and all of them are lovely.

As for nicknames:
[name_f]Maya[/name_f], [name_f]Mari[/name_f] or [name_f]Mary[/name_f], [name_f]Elle[/name_f], Ri/Ree, [name_u]Mars[/name_u] or [name_u]Mar[/name_u].

it feels underused but familiar and ages well :relieved: i love mariel too, it has a bit of edge to it !

for middle names i’d suggest something more consonant heavy, maybe gender neutral to balance out the soft sound of marielle. something like marielle august is fun to me, if that’s your thing :smile:

In my standard American accent, I’d pronounce [name_f]Marielle[/name_f] as “Mary-Elle,” but I love all the pronunciations.

[name_f]Marielle[/name_f] sounds like soft rain, like gentle rocking. It’s so poetic.

[name_f]Marielle[/name_f] [name_f]Pippa[/name_f]
[name_f]Marielle[/name_f] [name_f]Daisy[/name_f]
[name_f]Marielle[/name_f] [name_f]Valentina[/name_f]
[name_f]Marielle[/name_f] [name_u]Scout[/name_u]

It seems like a fine name. I’ve never taught one which is great.

It doesn’t seem the strongest name to me, but it is fine.

She’d likely be shortened to [name_f]Mari[/name_f] or [name_f]Elle[/name_f], neither of which am I keen on, but you might be?

I think [name_f]Marielle[/name_f] is just beautiful. For siblings I love the continuation of the [name_u]French[/name_u] feel with [name_f]Amelie[/name_f], [name_u]Romy[/name_u], [name_m]Sebastien[/name_m], [name_m]Maxence[/name_m], [name_f]Margaux[/name_f] or [name_f]Juliette[/name_f].
Moving away (reluctantly!) from the [name_u]French[/name_u] names. [name_f]Marielle[/name_f] & [name_f]Seraphina[/name_f], [name_f]Marielle[/name_f] & [name_f]Lyra[/name_f], [name_f]Marielle[/name_f] & [name_f]Jordana[/name_f], [name_f]Marielle[/name_f] & [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f]. I’m blanking on masc names!

For the MAH-riel pronunciation, you might choose to spell it without the -Elle ending. That ending indicates the accent on the last syllable.

For MAH-riel, [name_f]Mariel[/name_f]. For Mary-Elle, [name_f]Marielle[/name_f].

I like it a lot, but prefer the spelling [name_f]Mariel[/name_f]. I knew someone with that name, pronounced Marry-ELL. But the pronunciation MAH-ree-ell or Mah-ree-ELL works too. [name_f]Mari[/name_f] is a sweet nickname. I also love the idea of nn [name_f]Maisie[/name_f].
