Mirele-nobody's ever going to pronounce or spell it right

I really love Gabrielle (with the nn Gabby), Bram, and Abram. I'm not wild about Laurence but it's a better spelling than Lawrence. Jonah is okay but Joe and Joey are so played out. Mirele is kinda cool but she'll have to tell people how to prn her name her whole life.

Mirele - Doesn't have the appeal to me that Miriam or Mireille do.
Laurence - With the English pronunciation for a boy or the french pronunciation for a boy? Either way I like both, but I'm especially fond of Laurence nn. Laurie for a boy right now.
Gabrielle - Fine, doesn't excite me.
Jonah "Joey" - Jonah is lovely, I don't think it needs a nickname.
Bram - Lovely
Abram - Lovely, one of my favourites.

Mirele- I would definitely stick with this spelling. The other looks like and -elle name. It could grow on me as I like a lot of Mir- names, but at first look I thought you were asking about Mireille and was disappointed to see you weren't. It just feels underwhelming. Though it is sweet as a nickname.Laurence- I love this. It's very connected to Joshua Chamberlain and Laurie from Little Women for me. I find it sedate and a little pretentious, but it feels warm.Gabrielle- pretty. Gabby is a no go though.Jonah "Joey"- I love Joey. Jonah is nms and is so deeply connected to the Biblical character I feel like its not a freestanding name.Bram- awesome. Clipped and masculine, but not harsh. A little bit reminiscent of Bean Stoker, but very nice.Abram- I like it, but I think of JJ Abrams and Abram's tanks.

Mirele reminds me too much of the word "merely" for me to like it.
Laurence is cool, I like it. But I'd have to love it to use it because IRL I think it seems a little formal and dorky. Like, it's Larry.
I like Gabrielle, although the G and B sounds aren't my thing personally. All the Gabrielles and Gabrielas and Gabi / Gabys I've known have been really nice. It's like Rebecca only not as dated seeming.
Jonah is the new Joshua. Decent, nms. "Joey" is only for prepubescent boys imo.
Bram seems stuffy and hipster imo. Kinda brooding.
Abram is like Jonah ... like it's the new Aaron. nmsaa, but not uncomfy in any way.
