Orielle Marie of Oriël MarieGuest ·
We're expecting a second daughter. Our first daughter is named Marion Fleur. Which spelling do you think fits best?

Thank you so much for your responses!

    It depends on the pronunciation. I'd pronounce Orielle as "Orielle" and Oriel as "O-ri-el."

    Umlaut is inconvenient in everyday use. You'll quickly figure out how to use it on a keyboard, but the rest of the world won't. So I'm going with Orielle too. I think it looks more elegant.

    I’d really pronounce Orielle as Orielle.
    So if you don’t want that pronunciation, I’d go with Oriël.

    Orielle looks more elegant. Beautiful!
