Help[Opinions] associations: sound vs. spelling
in reply to a message by Joiya
I guess the difference for me would be: if I saw Miriel, I'd think: Mariel, Muriel, or Mirabelle, not LOTR.
(I think sound is about equally as important to me as spelling).
I'm a lot more familiar with those types of names than Melker / Melchior, so Miriel would come across as more multidimensional to me...but if I lived somewhere that Melchior (or similar sounding names) were sort of common, it wouldn't grab my attention the way it does.
