HelpRe: Alternate spelling?
in reply to a message by mirfak
Miriel is on our short list - though we also have the Mirielle spelling.
I can't actually say Dash-yul, been trying since the first person posted that pronunciation. Maybe it is my accent? I don't know, but I just can't get that sounds out.
I say it Dash-ul as in Ulrich.

"Dash-yul" is basically "Dash-ee-ul" but with the ee sort of blending with the ul, not as a separately enunciated syllable. The difference in vowels between Dashiell and Dashel to me is a little bit like the difference between aerial (not *quite* 3 syllables, like Dashiell) and mongrel. Or, a little like shear / shirr.

Just thought I'd point out that Mirielle may get confused for Mireille, which has a completely different pronunciation. I don't know if you're in an area where people will even be familiar with Mireille but I think it's worth mentioning. Especially as actress Mireille Enos starts becoming more mainstream

People mention that to me on name boards all the time. It's a legit comment - however I live in a town that thought Clarisse was some exotic newfangled name.
No one here will have heard of Mireille (which I like, btw).
It's more likely to bring Lord of the Rings to mind than France, which I don't mind.
I will have to look up Mireille Enos, as I have never heard of her. But, it seems that any name I like becomes popular soon after I decide to use it (though this name has been on my list since the 6th grade).

Well if it works for you!
I will say also though that Miriel I would pronounce "MEER-ee-ehl" and Mirielle I'd pronounce "meer-ee-ELL" - not sure which you're going for really
