Help[Opinions] How would you pronounce this name?
A famous New Zealand rugby player has just had a new son.
Parents Jonah and Nadene
New addition: Dhyrielle Semisi Kiole (the middle names are tongan)
He joins big brother Brayley (20 months)
How would you pronounce Dhyrielle? In the article I read it said Nadene just made the name up but it did not say how it was pronounced!

Dhyrielle looks like a girl's name. I'm not sure what they were thinking. I'd pronounce it deer-ee-EL or die-ree-EL.

Well... putting aside the fact that I think the name is atrocious, I'd guess that it's pronounced DEER-ee-el.

die-ree-elle

Yikes! I'd say either dye-ree-elle or dare-ee-elle. It sound so fem for a boy. Actually, both sons' names sound fem, don't they?

I'd say "dirry-EL". Pretty horrible if you ask me!

My first thought would be DI-ree-el. What a bad name for a boy.

Drai-EL would be my guess. Drai as in, not wet, and EL as in, What the H...? I think the h and the y and, incredibly, the le are just in there for decoration.Poor kid. I hope he'll be a big lad like his Dad (who I assume is Jonah Lomu - I can't think of any other famous rugby-playing Jonahs!).
