Ariel

DH and i have put Ariel on the list for "maybe" names

The only thing, we both like it pronounced 'Ahh -re- el' not 'air- re- el'

How would you spell it to avoid confusion???

[{sarah}]

We were thinking of Arielle, pronounced aah-ree-elle Beautiful name.

sarah thats the way i like it, think it sounds nicer

Do you think people would call her 'air - re - elle'?

thats the only thing thats putting me off, other than that, i thinks its beautiful aswell

our son is called Ariel
and its pronounced as AH- RI- EL- that is the boy's name pronouciation
usually for a girl it is pronouned AIR-RE-ELLE

Ariel means lion of GOD- it is a popular ancient Hewbrew boys name. Its only through little mermaid that it has become more known as a girls name.

If you are concerned with how it is pronounced you could always spell it "ARIAL"

Our DD name is Ariya (pronounced Ahh ree ya) originally it is spelt Arya but we thought she would get "are-ya"

If you want the emphasis on the "ah" at the begininng what about Ahriel?

I would say air with that spelling

Auriel I say with ahh
