And it depends on how they're said. mar-ee-el is how I would pronounce Mariel, however I've been influenced strongly by the Spanish language. Looking at it from a Midwest perspective (where I'm at now) I can somewhat understand why it would be considered a variant spelling - the sounds would slur more - mare-ee-el/meer-ee-el.

I say Mariel very quickly - mar-el-ELL - whereas here it would most likely be pronounced mare-ee-el, with the mare drawn out instead of staccato syllables - which it would be in the East.
