When I was a little girl I always thought it was so weird that they named a Disney princess the same thing as that tower on top of my house that enabled us to pick up TV channels. I’ve always hated it, sorry.

Not really a fan of the name

The Little Mermaid is my only association with this name, which probably dates me. It is pretty, and possibly usable.

I do, but prefer the Ariel spelling for a boy and the Arielle spelling for a girl. As is evident in my DD's mn :)

The excessive, er, masculinity of Ariel Sharon has rubbed off on to his fn, and that's before we consider the androgynous but basically male spirit in The Tempest. On a girl, I'd expect Arielle if anything, but I'd still find it an odd choice.

No, it's masculine to me.

No, not with that spelling. I just think of the little mermaid and Ariel washing powder.
Arielle is a different name to me - and I like it a lot better. Even Ariella is better than Ariel.
