Explanation
I can't post the link right now, but there's an article by People with more explanation.It's pronounced AY-vree, like Avery,Roel is to honor grandparents RObert and ROsemary and ELsie and ELiot.
TBH, before I clicked the btn link, I assumed it'd be ro-el, not rool. Article doesn't say though.

I liked Avri better pronounced AV-ree.And Roel.. I would have preferred Roelle. Looks more feminine than Roel.

It's awfully convenient that the grandparents have such matchy-matchy names that they could be mashed together to honor four of them in a single four-letter invention.

It does happen though. DH's grandmother is Conchita (and his mother) and mine is Concetta. granted they married a Roberto and Salvatore... but I guess those share a "to" too. Convenient in both cases, for sure.
