I heard this name today (pronounced ORiel), and thought it was really pretty, but was just curious to the general consensus surrounding it was?

haha was just going to mention the college. If you have two more you could call them Christ Church and Corpus Christi

Harris Manchester?
Lady Margaret?

I'll stop, shall I?

I do think it's a pretty name, but people will automatically associate it with the college.

I don't like it.

I'm an alumni of Oriel College, Oxford and therefore it just makes me think of the college.
