I like it mostly on a girl, but I prefer it feminized a bit as Arielle or Ariella.

Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos!

I like Ariel for a boy only, and I pronounce it AHR-ee-el. For a girl I prefer Arielle (ahr-ee-EL) or Ariella.

1. Like it. Love the meaning.
2. I prefer it on a boy, because it's originally a masculine name. I love the real feminine version of this name, Arielle, on a girl, though.
3. I would pronounce it ah-ree-EL, but I'm not sure what's the proper way to say it.

1. Wdyt of this name? I adore it!
2. Do you prefer it for a girl or a boy? I prefer Ariel on a boy, and Arielle on a girl
3. How do you pronounce it? Ariel = AIR-ee-el, Arielle - Aur-ee-el

Ron Weasley: Mum sent me something...

Ron Weasley: Mum sent me a dress.
Harry: Well it does match your eyes. Is there

Spelt this way, I prefer it for a boy. I'd pronounce it Ahr-ee-YELL.

1. LOVE it! I think Ariel is very under-appreciated
2. Girl
3. I pronounce it like you do, AIR-ee-el.

I think Ruby and Ariel make a great sib set. They both have a sweet side and a feisty side (which is what I love about both names).

I pronounce the name like you mentioned (AIR-ee-el), and I prefer it as a boy's name (but Arielle is a feminine form). Ariel is one of those names that I'm indifferent about; it's not a personal favorite, but I don't dislike it either. I think that Ruby goes nicely with Ariel as a sibset.

1. Wdyt of this name? I like it.
2. Do you prefer it for a girl or a boy? I prefer it on a boy, and Arielle on a girl.
3. How do you pronounce it? Same as you, although I often think of the word "arial." :o)

I love Ruby (on other people's kids; it doesn't really suit me) and think it's ok with Ariel (would prefer Arielle), but it's not one of those sibsets that jump out at me. There's nothing wrong with it in the least, though. Both names are pretty. Do you have mns picked out?
